German G3 Camo Mag Pouch

Bundeswehr G3 Mag Pouch

This is a German Army magazine pouch built for the G3, the 7.62x51mm battle rifle the Bundeswehr (Germany's armed forces) carried for decades. It holds two G3 magazines in separate compartments under a closed flap, so they stay put and protected from dirt. Collectors, reenactors and G3 or HK91-pattern rifle owners buy it for exactly what it is: original German issue kit.

Features

• Flecktarn Camouflage — The outer shell is printed in Flecktarn, Germany's five-color dappled "spot" pattern, with olive green binding along every edge.
• Cordura Nylon Shell — Cordura is a dense, abrasion-resistant nylon fabric chosen for gear that gets dragged, knelt on and packed hard.
• Two-Magazine Capacity — A rigid plastic insert with a center divider splits the interior into two compartments, one magazine each.
• Stiffened Interior — The insert keeps the pouch square and holds the magazines upright instead of letting them knock together.
• Strap And Buckle Flap Closure — An olive webbing strap on the flap feeds through a molded plastic buckle on the front, and the pull tab gives you something to grab when opening it.
• Coated Flap Lining — The underside of the flap is lined with a smooth coated fabric rather than bare nylon.
• Rigid Rear Mounting Plate — A molded plastic plate on the back, with locking studs and keyhole slots, fixes the pouch to compatible German issue equipment.
• Original Issue Markings — The inside of the flap carries the stock number stamp with "Mag. G3" and a maker's label reading Schleswiger Tauwerke, dated 10/1997.

Issue Markings And Maker

Each pouch was made under German government contract, and this one is labeled to Schleswiger Tauwerke with an October 1997 date. The stamped NSN 8465-12-327-9245 (the NATO stock number used to catalog and requisition issue gear) and the "Mag. G3" marking identify it as the standard Bundeswehr G3 magazine pouch. If you are building out a period Flecktarn loadout or want proper carry for your G3 magazines, this is the issued article with its provenance printed inside the flap.
