French Army MAT49 Canvas Mag Pouch

The somewhat obscure and partly forgotten French made MAT-49 SMG saw widespread usage in the First Indochina & Algerian Wars. To keep them spewing lead down range, the French designed these 5 cell mag pouches. 

These pouches were kept pretty simple for use in the colonies. A single large top flap secures the magazines with dual snap domes. Within there are 5 individual cells so you won't fumble them around when under pressure. You can mount the pouch on a belt up to 6.5cm wide with dual belt loops at the rear or alternatively one really large single 21cm loop. Another great feature is a detachable sling - you wear this is an impromptu bandoleer and pass it around when someone needs a large top up in a hurry (we believe the slings provided are of Swedish/non-French origin). Who knows what stories each one of these pouches could contain from as far back as the 1950's!

Perfect for any French military collectors or your next Vietnam period airsoft game. Keep lightweight and loaded today!
