Australian Army M56 SLR Mag Pouch

The M56 load carrying system was of US design, however Australian troops started utilizing their allies system and eventually began reproducing it themselves. These pouches are a by-product of Aussie troops needing a pouch to better fit their large SLR magazines during the Vietnam war.

Much like the US M56, the top opens with a simple pull tab to access your next mag. The main difference being that these can hold 3 SLR mags or up to 6 x 20rnd M16 magazines. Each pouch comes with 2 ALICE clips on the back to secure to a web belt and a top adjustable strap to attach to a M56 yoke. Each side of the pouch has a strap with snap dome closure wide enough to attach hand grenades or a bandage pack. Made from canvas they are extremely robust and come with an eyelet at the bottom to drain any water out. A great pouch for Vietnam war collectors or airsoft/paintball skirmishes.
