nobody Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Has any one tried converting the Norwegian MP-40 pouches to look like Stolla Wien style pouches? I was wondering if cutting the flaps would make a noticeable difference? I also think that the "buttons" would need to be higher up. If so do you have any pics? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 i tried to build a "move-along" trooper pouch with the small toolpouch from a swedish mp38/40 pouch. this is my result: and this is one of my authentic WW2 Stolla Wien mp38/40 pouch let me know if you need to see any other detail!

RoCKo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 btw.: the buttons are about 0,4 inch higher than the ones on the swedish pouch. i´ll try to get some comparison pictures from both pouches tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-459 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Do you have a picture of your pouches? A button move seems trivial. The biggest difference to me is the shape of the flaps, although the bottom of the movie flaps look more rounded to me than a stock stolla wein. You could trace the shape of a stolla wein flap and lay a template over your flaps to get an idea of how the change would look, assuming your flap has enough material. I have been thinking about this modification on my pouches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 They are the green leather ones, like the ones that were in the bulk run in the for sale forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-459 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 There is enough leather if you wanted to, but with a bit more gap between than the real thing. Something like this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I think the norwegian MP-40 is bigger "wider" then the wien stolla. Here is some shots of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
