Better Than the KnockoffsIf you own a Type 56 SKS, you need one of these. Period. I've been collecting Chinese milsurp for about 15 years now and this is a legit unissued bandolier mine still had the original Chinese arsenal stamps and batch codes on the inside flap. The heavy cotton canvas is thick and well-stitched, wooden toggle closures are all intact and functional. Each of the 10 pockets fits two loaded stripper clips perfectly for 200 rounds of 7.62x39. One of the end pockets is slightly oversized which is historically correct it was meant for an oil bottle or cleaning kit. I compared this to a "Cool Shiny" branded one a buddy got off Amazon and honestly the difference in canvas quality is night and day... the Amazon one felt thinner and the stitching was already fraying. This one feels like it could survive another 40 years in a crate. Only minor gripe is a musty storage smell (it's been sitting in a Chinese warehouse since the 70s or 80s so thats expected). Hit it with some saddle soap and it cleaned right up. The canvas was a bit stiff at first but after wearing it to the range twice its already breaking in nicely.
Genuine PLA surplus with authentic markings
Heavy waterproof canvas is extremely durableMusty storage smell requires cleanin
Canvas is stiff out of the box, needs break-in -
Does What Its Supposed ToNothing fancy here, just a basic bandolier that works. I bought two of them and they were in slightly different condition, one was pretty clean and the other had some staining on it but both are fully functional. Nice to have for keeping your loaded clips organized instead of just tossing them in an ammo can.
Inexpensive way to carry SKS clips
Surplus condition so YMMV

Unissued, smells like history, works perfectBought two of these for my Chinese SKS collection one to use, one to keep nice. Both showed up basically unissued, still had the stiff canvas feel and storage smell. Chinese markings clear, leather tabs intact, no mold or rot. The pockets are designed for 10-round stripper clips and they fit perfectly not tight, not loose, just right. I can grab a clip, charge the rifle, drop the empty clip back in the pocket without looking. The shoulder strap is long enough for my XL frame, which surprised me. Wore it to an outdoor range last month, loaded with 100 rounds of Chinese surplus. Got some looks, some questions, one guy offered to buy it off me. No thanks.
For $15 it's the most practical SKS accessory I own.

Neat way to store your ammo for range tripsPretty cool way to have some ammo ready for the range. Too bad these are getting harder to find. Neat to see the Chinese characters on the back.
