Custom 10/22 Magazine Pouch from Oneiros Valley

By on July 15, 2014 in Guns, Survival, Tactical Gear

Oneiros Valley recently showed this very slick, custom 10/22 magazine pouch that is designed to retain and protect 4 of Ruger’s iconic BX-1 rotary magazines. It is a simple, MOLLE compatible, clamshell design that features 4 internal elastic loops to hold the magazines.

The genius of this pouch is it that it can be useful for more than just 10/22 magazines. The design would lend itself well to use as a general purpose pouch that could carry a compass, GPS, chapstick, or other small gear that you want handy when it isn’t carrying magazines. I can imagine it would be ideal for use on the MOLLE hip belt of a pack like those from Mystery Ranch or Kifaru.

This is a custom, one-off design but if enough people let Onerios Valley know they are interested, you never know…

If you are like me, you are incapable of ever throwing away an Altoids Tin. When I look at them I see their potential as survival kit containers, survival candles, first aid kits, organizers, and anything else I can dream up. Green Mountain Sheaths, makers of very fine quality leather goods, is offering a classy way to keep your Altoids Tin close at hand with their Altoids Tin Pouch.
