i have a buddy in the marines that just used cord just like that and would cut it in half, and tie bug knots on the side and just wrap masking tape around the side of the mag with the cord in place so the knot facing toward the top and then tape, then the cord hands out the bottom. i guess thats the ghetto way? lol
awesome video. I went ahead with Magpuls but this is def a great way to improvise. question, i've heard painting mags causes issues inserting and removing them. Any issues here with yours? If not, I've got a project tomorrow
How did the Krylon hold up to use? I am thinking of painting my mags, mainly for cosmetics more than anything else. I am not sure if Krylon will hold up well enough or if I should go with Duracoat. Maybe I'll try both...
It held up verry well, however I wear my mags on CONDOR brand mag pouches, half exposed and retained via the bungee cord,...I eventually had to remove the tape to clean the mags...leaving the bottom exposed.....I repaint about every 3 months,I use body armor,level 3 with plates, 16 hours DAILY!!, no joke.....so all my gear, including MAgs, take a beating....Be Safe!
@Piyinone Damn dude, what are you wearing armor for 16 hours a day for?? You out in Iraq/Afghanistan/Mexico maybe? I've got level 4 plates I use both at home and for work. But never do I wear them for 16 hours at a time, that sucks dude! I just went ahead and got some duracoat in magpul desert (to match the rest of my rifle) so we will see how that goes. I will post a video up when I paint them and a review on how durable they were.
@usmcboyer You Guessed it, its the 3rd.......Its bad out here but its improving, more then 32 officers were slain on a recent year!!!.....Army and Marines patrol the city also, most police officers carry Bushmaster ARs or Beretta Rifles, some G3s,....ill post a video later on the equipment....when I can get enough volunteers for pictures....plates issued were recently changed to some lighter but bulkier Israeli brand.....
@Piyinone damn dude, make shit happen out there. Best of luck to you in getting those ass holes where they need to be - DEAD. Appreciate your work out there in making the world a safer place. I've done the Iraq thing and I've done some other things I cant talk about but I have a feeling Mexico is no joke. I would actually like to get out there and give a hand if I had the chance. I'll subscribe so I don't miss any videos you put up in the future.
1* means is: 1 asterisk = One "Ass to Risk" It's a military/Law Enforcement thing but has made it's way to Fire and most division where you put your ass on the line in service of... whatever.
Hi Guys!!! I have no excuse for taking so long to comment something.....My camera broke, my pc was down,.......I was on sick leave so making that vid was a time killer.....I took the tape off....mags were sooo dirty!!!left the cord only....and the music is from Thin red line....Watch your 6....take care....

what does the 1* mean?
otherwise, like your thinking. Only thing I can see if the wrap makes cleaning mags a pain.
Good job, thanks for the vid.
