Title: proxy Buying assistance, please US=>UK
Post by: kingofswords on September 11, 2019, 12:11:53 AM
i wanted  a 3pk of elastic mag carriers(to use as horizontal MT steaths) but site is charging me $60 shipping even though item is $20 so wondred if anyone could help me out as i proxy buyer ?
its these:
https://stealthgearusa.com/sg-180-3-pack/ (https://stealthgearusa.com/sg-180-3-pack/)

im guessing these will fit in a normal envelope and  its around $14 us to uk shiping? so be alot cheaper.

i can either order and send to your address or money over , which ever is cheapest.

thanks :salute:

I use these to carry both my expedition and my spirit x. Best carry method I have ever tried!

I have to admit that I did crazy postage.. And custom.. And tax..

But they work really great so it was kind of worth it

yeh the one with the pockets sewed up i thought would be good to keep bitkit inside of belt while holding wave in main pocket.

I think it will be tricky to get them out but I want a want to know if it works when you have tried it. I don't have any to test for you unfortunately..


I carry it in this position for comfort and the easy access abilities, but some movements force it out a bit so you will have to push it back from time to time, but that's no problem once you get used to it


Here are my most used and a first gen wave

First up is my 4 layer alox mod

This is my spirit x (works best I think)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190911/6789cae75312374ac15b19ce30379705.jpg)

I don't have any new wave so the first wave will do

thanks they look really good. its weird as theres no many vids or pics of these online, would of thought theyd be alot more popular with MT users since so streamlined.

have they ever fallen all the way out?

ill let know about fitting a bit kit strip in. think your right about being too tight.

I agree! They have actually fallen out a couple of times, mostly when taking the pants on and off and the one time when I had the weed Wacker on, but I think the harness plate pushed it out

It is an interesting concept, but a little too expensive for some sown elastic band. I found a roll of a similar material on amazon for $12. Should be enough material to make 50 of various sizes, and the wifey said she will give it a shot sewing them. Will report back once we have one made.  :salute:

I tried to find elastic band in the right size but failed. Never looked at amazon

If someone is interested, we finally had some time to DIY one of these. I created a thread for it here: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,82864.0.html  :cheers:

Looks good! But does it work when you have the belt on you?

Post by: kingofswords on October 01, 2019, 11:02:23 PM
its works , i just got a fat belly so ill spare you those pictures. infact i dont think you'll be able to see tool and sheath if i put if on lol

 to get bitkit out i just twist belt so its on the outside and slide out. the holder with one pocket works just as good as MT goes between belt and holder. and bits go in pocket.

dont know how safe/sturdy it will be.

Nice that it worked out the way you had hoped for! But it's kind of addictive to carry the Mt in that way
