.308/7.62 and 5.56 Duty Mag Questions
I have the potential need for the ability to swap my patrol rifle magazines between PMAG LR (7.62/.308) and 5.56 PMAGS. This has lead to some gear questions. The .308 gun will be the primary use Patrol Rifle so I will be mainly carrying the .308 mags on duty, with the 5.56 mags/gun in reserve.
Currently:
1st Line: single M4 mag on my duty belt or in the X-26 Tazer pouch on my jumpsuit.
2nd Line: Plate Carrier is a Velocity Scarab and I use a 3x M4 Ten Speed on the front with 2 M4 PMAGs on it.
Thinking/Question for change in kit:
1st line: New jumpsuit will have a X2 tazer pocket which will hold a 20 round 308 PMAG, and in a pinch, a 5.56 PMAG. I’m not finding a duty belt mag pouch that will hold either a .308 mag or a 5.56 mag securely.
2nd Line: Use a Kangaroo pouch insert on the Scarab. This will keep the ten speed available for when/if I’m using the M4 instead, in addition to the utility of 10 speeds on hand (TQ, Phone, Pistol Mag, etc). Kangaroo pouch wise, there is a purpose built one from Velocity and one from Spiritus system. The Velocity has the added security of bungees and the Spiritus doesn’t appear to. Any experience with either? Will the Spiritus even work with the Scarab?
