My review of the ALICE 4 cell ammo pouch

[@hamsticklehq]

Your videos along with some others on youtube helped convince me to get myself an ALICE pack and frame. Only had it a week and its already the best backpack i've ever owned. i plan on modding it and creating something to be proud of. thanks for your videos and inspiration, Nick.

[@collectornick4270]

That's awesome! I'm glad my videos have helped. It seems like more and more people lately have been switching from plate carriers to LBE ALICE type equipment.

@@collectornick4270 I had no idea people were still taking them out into the field on missions, I'm glad i picked mine up, I imagine the prices will shoot up. All the best mate.

I got these and i plan to make a smersh type rig out of these for an AR. Running this with Afghanka kit would be really drippy.

[@collectornick4270]

Sounds like it's gonna be awesome when it's done.

If I did need more water or needed things like NVG’s I didn’t like the ILBE but the “assault pack” from that system was good to go. you could throw all the extra stuff for longer durations away from the vehicles.

Good point!

[@BritishMilitariaCollector1702]

Nice video Nick I didn't even know they made these , are they actually Military issue like nsn number is real? Also they look more flimsy or softer compared to standard 3 round Alice Mag pouches.

[@collectornick4270]

They're a little flimsy but I think that's because of how wide they are. I do not believe these are issued I think they are commercially made and my guess is the NSN is probably fake or taken from another item.

Hey nick i been watching you for a long while and wanted to know where i can find an m67 nylon belt shorty mag pouches and compass pouch also i have a plastic snap m67 canteen cover wich looks real but seems to be made in 88 not 68 do you know what the deal with that is

[@collectornick4270]

Not sure on the date thing on your cover. As for where to find stuff I recommend gun shows, antique store or Facebook collector groups.

[@huyhoangviet5966]

can ya do some reviews of ak alice mag pouches?.

[@collectornick4270]

If I ever find any I will.

What backpack would the Army/Marines be using in the in the late 80s and early 90s?

[@collectornick4270]

The medium and large ALICE packs. From the late 1970s until the very early 2000s.

Do AKM mags fit?

[@collectornick4270]

I don't have any AK mags but I don't think so. You can probably fit maybe one but that's a huge maybe.

[@soldierofmisfortune6284]

Does the quality feel the same as an original?

[@collectornick4270]

It does. All of the stitching is great, and so is the hardware. But it's definitely commercial made. My guess is the early 2000s or early 2010s.

[@soldierofmisfortune6284]

@@collectornick4270 it would be tempting to buy 4 and possibly seam rip the grenade carriers since it's commercial anyway. 16 mags at the ready would be pretty sick

[@soldierofmisfortune6284]

@@collectornick4270 how much do they go for, a piece, when they do pop up? I looked for some on eBay as soon as I seen the notification for this video and didn't find any lol

[@collectornick4270]

@soldierofmisfortune6284 I thought about buying his other pouch and doing that but I think the extra pouch would be too much weight and make it awkward. I think it would be better to use those SAW pouches if you wanted to carry more.
