stretchy over stock ammo holder

[mikee]

my mate bought me one of those stretchy neoprene ammo holders to put on the stock of my .243, i cant work out if it was a kind gesture or a slightly sarcastic one as he usually has a dig at the amount of rifles, shotguns and other paraphernalia i seem to have amassed over the years.

do other rifle users have these, it smacks a bit of michael ryan to me, i'm not sure if weather to fit it or not

Yes but the average magazine holds 5.

 

So your mate needs at anytime 5 in the mag and 8 on the stock (a total of 13).

 

Questions:

 

1. When do you let more than 5 go at one time when out in the field, and then need to *quickly* grab another 1 to 8 off the stock?

2. When do you ever go out and just limit yourself to just 13 rounds i.e. limited to your mag and what's round your stock as opposed to a box / pocketful of ammo?

 

People have them because they look like you mean business, you can give it some BS that you got them standard issue after storming an embassy on special duties, Ross Kemp would have one and the ladies love them. Clunk click, tactical and practical.

thats just what i thought mungler, i think i'm gonna put it on the boys airgun, should give him and his mates a giggle,

 

would i be breaking any laws if i put 5 fired cases in it for him?

I use one of the padded 'Hunters of England' cheek-pieces, purely because it gives an extra 1" of height to bring my eye perfectly in line with the scope every time. I find that quite handy with high-mag scopes when out foxing. It has webbing loops for 6 rounds, but I don't use them (as I am not a Walt).

[codling99]

i got one,and think its handy for when im lamping,i normally do about 5/6 farms when im out,and think it easier than carrying spare rounds in my allready full pockets. never used many more than the 5 in mag but have done more than once so think it really handy.

I have always said you don't look complete in without two leather bandoliers across your chest and a sombrero when out shooting in suffolk

Actually we only take about 8 rounds total. Then when ready load 3 into the mag and have 5 spares. Also easier and quieter than having 5 rounds jingling round in your pocket!!

yes i use one on the mossberg 12ga to hold five 36gram 0's incase i run into foxes, hares, etc (it used to be buckshot incase of bulls - i ******* hate bulls! but thought buckshot on a hare was a waste), its useful as id never remember to lift them otherwise. and yes, the gun hold 3 carts at a time, but because my cartridge belt holds 25 does that mean im an idiot cos i cant fit all 25 in the gun at once?

 

as a side note, its mandatory with pump actions to have shells strapped to the stock. youre just not a true pump owner if you dont

Lads, don't get me wrong - I have listened to all the Walt based "reasoned arguments" about how any given shooter at any given time really needs an elastic sock that displays a quantity of additional ammo, and I have ignored every one.

 

I am going with "it looks cool and it was less than a tenner delivered off ebay".

My mate has one on his benelli pump... But then a pump wouldn't be the same without it!

each to their own i suppose,no one see s mine so no rambo thing going on here,only use my rifle in darkness,just a lot easier to carry spare ammo on gun than in pocket for me.never know when that good night will appear,have shot 4 foxes in one field on one farm,so never know when shooting 6 farms in one night.

[bicykillgaz]

i'd just stick it on to protect the stock if its not sythetic

[berthaboo]

anyone know of any good places for these i want one for my .22lr not really want the ammo holder on it but needs to be able to hold foam ect to adjust the comb high ones i have seen are like £25 for bear tooth sure there is some around cheaper

 

 

cheers stew

[Ozzy Fudd]

i found a few rifle bag types for abut £7 each on ebay a while back, theres a pouch on the side can hold rounds, and its easy to stick foam underneath it

here we go, i bought a couple of black ones

[CZ550Kevlar]

I have one on my semi which I must admit comes in handy when either I'm sitting down and don't want to fumble around my waist for some carts or I mostly use it for 40g carts incase I see fox or something. As for using it on a rifle I have a mini-14 .223 with several 25 round high cap mags so an extra five on the stock just wouldn't be any use.

[ferretmanabu]

It also has a nice warm fuzzy feeling when you put your cheek to it on a cold winter day.

[Dougy]

Oh dear

 

Am i gay or just one who has to have every thing :blink:

 

i use mine quite often if i'm doing some long range bunny bashing (100yards)

 

although i can get 10 in mine :blink: :blink:

 

It keeps them all together,and it keeps the scratches off the nice shiney cases

 

As for looking cool maybe but as i go out mostly in the dark i cant see that being the reason

[miniwizard]

anything like this will scratch the wood,especially if you use a bypod as any dirt between it and the stock is like sandpaper

[Mungler]

Yeah I am loving the plausible explanations; so we have:

 

1. keeps cheeks / ammo warm -

2. keeps ammo handy - just like pockets but a lot more SAS

3. stops scratches - I find treating the gun with care and using a slip works best but it's not very SAS I know

How about this one;-

 

Always have a bullet or 10 handy, just in case they fell out of your pocket when you slipped over on the way to the top of the mountain while walking in 2 feet of snow in Croatia, and you need to shoot a charging giant, masive ,huge M-F angry Mung chomping Wild Boar, with no bullets

And you could have nicely tucked away in your little stretchy bulllet holder thingy, wrapped around your "BUTT" some nice shiny bullets to load into your rifle and shoot the big Pigy.

 

therefore saving your own Butt and being able to ware your undies yet another day :blink:

[al4x]

must say I don't use one never really found its an issue having a box of .223 ammo in my pocket. Its to hand it doesn't jangle and you don't have to faff about unloading it before putting it in the cabinet. Usually I load 5 rounds into the magazine and unload at least 4 when back to the farm :blink: but thats just for foxing

[miffy]

therefore saving your own Butt and being able to ware your undies yet another day

 

 

So you never changed your undies because you kept your ammo in your cheek piece? I thought you just never packed any spare. :blink:
