My magazine pouches


Recommended Posts

Here are some pics of my MP40 mag pouches, dyed black, and ready to gear up with!

These were part of the magazine order, and when they arrived, they were a mix-matched set. One pouch was used, and had a fair amount of oil soaked. The other was almost new.

Using the Tandy Leather supplies, the deglosser, USMC black leather dye, and the spray sheen, the above are the results.

I cut 1x2 pine strips the lenght of a real MP40 magazine, and left those in there.

Hello Jim,

I know this is going to sound silly but how do you know if they have been oil soaked? What do i need to look for?Your pouches look good and i want mine to look as good.

Rob,

Yours are definately not oil-soaked.

They will be fine.

Oil soaked is sort of a misnomer. Really it should be soiled, or well used/loved.

The 'newer' pouch was almost 'John Deere' green, where the 'oil soaked' version was a dark, dark green, almost brownish black. One was much older and more used than the other.

Both dyed great!
