How to make a mag pouch (the KYWI at home)
Gonna print that puppy and give it a try
@sncounts Nice! Let me know how it turns out.
PLEASE make a left hand version
how would we affix a bungee retention so that we can create tension on the pouch so that mags dont rattle or a single mag doesn't come free like on most modern MOLLE pouches?
Just sew more fabric at the bottom of the molle straps and make like the newer version of these pouches where you fold the excess back up under the final row of PALS. Its easy to conceptualize if you look it up. i hope my explanation helps
I made a 3D animation demonstrating how the holster functions just for fun. I uploaded it here: th-cam.com/video/KsmRqI4kUfc/w-d-xo.html
@@GeekOfAllness that’s really cool! Thanks
I have an issue with the studs on the light's thumb screw interfering with the slot on the holster. Mine doesn't tighten up in the same alignment as yours, it is rotated 90 degrees further :/ Any idea on if that is a resolvable issue? I think if I grind out the groove, the fit will get loose on the light. Either way, thank you for all the work you have put into this project! I know this type of CAD takes forever to do.
Actually... I just shimmed the glock rail with two small pieces of duct tape and that let the screw line up exactly as yours does in the video! Easy fix. I'm leaving this comment/reply up for anyone else who may have the same issue.
@@Ready17 maybe put a piece of tape between the pistol rail and the light mount. This will make the screw tighten up sooner. Either that or just really crank down on the screw and make it line up.
@@Ready17 you beat me to it haha. Glad to hear it worked
Could you sew the hook on before the elastic, or does it cause an issue?
@@falconlb45 you would end up with a bunch of stitching through the hook which isn’t preferable but it would probably still work.
Absolutely do get a better rammer. The ones they come with are actually dangerous. Soft wood with a bad grain that can break and cut up your hand.
How long is the strap? Just to get a idea.
Idk if it's just me, but I can't get to your stl files on thingiverse
@@Slowhandinnawoods weird. What does it do?
Sorted it out now, it was a weird browser thing
@@Slowhandinnawoods cool, good to hear
Thx for the Graph. If someone is still having Problems after Modifying his PTT with a TCA 152. Put the MIC MD setting to ON.
@@Broooki thanks for the note
Man I love your videos! U got me into sewing, and now I have a new hobby^^. Big thank you for your work man!
@@masse_lasse441 thanks for letting me know. I love these type of comments. Sewing is a super useful skill that’s usually overlooked by guys. I’ve had a lot of fun with it and I’m sure you will too.
Any chance you’ll make one that can fit on a 2” belt?
Do you use this same pattern for heavier material and sapi plates?
@@BorisYeltzin I don’t remember if I used the same one but if you have a plate you can just add about an inch and a half to the width of that and you should be close.
Just wanted to thank you for your instructional videos for sewing. I was in an intensive treatment program for combat PTSD and was tasked with finding an outlet to help calm me and your videos inspired me to start MYOG and it has helped me immensely. Thank you.
@@BorisYeltzin thanks for reaching out. Im glad you’ve found my videos helpful. I haven’t made videos in a while but I still usually answer comments so let me know if you have questions about anything. I’m happy to help.
@ you should definitely bring them back! You’re channel is amazing. I do have a question. How do you cut your pieces so exactly?
@ I normally just use a ruler as a straight edge and park the cuts with a color pencil. It’s a lot easier to cut straight if you have a clean line.
You say when all the switches are closed, there is no attenuation. But even when the switches are closed you still have resistors across the signal path to ground, so there is still some attenuation. You would need different switch arrangements to completely switch out the attenuation. So, the attenuation on the box is not exactly what you specify. Now, is that important in this situation? Maybe not, but it is a fact that is being overlooked. 73.
Any plans on designing a lefthanded version
@@jaredharris6658 not right now
Four years later hows that system holding up?
@@brandonwaughtal6391 I switched to Wyze about a year ago and I like it better
do you know how to attach a headset to the helmet? my pasgt doesn't have anything for it.
if you're running a low-cut there's really no option other than running earpro under it or cutting the bits covering your ears off and putting ARC rails on.
Have you thought about modifying the design to fit as a IWB holster. You could do it by swapping the side where you put the mounting.
Thanks for the tutorial. Best I've found so far. Good deal getting that old Pfaff. The germans screwed up and built a machine you can use every day and your grandkids could wind up with it.
Black powder and traditional rifles are great fun. Look up Jim Kibler, he make a very easy to assemble kit of a ''real'' Kentucky/Pennsylvania/Lancaster rifle. This rifle is modelled after a Hawken's Plains rifle. It does NOT look like a traditional Kentuckey/Pennsylvania/Lancaster rifle. From the time period where we recognizes these rifles they used flint lock rifles. Just a small advice what old gun people here we would never do, Casting bullets from a kitchen spoon, slamming the bullet mold on a rock, slamming the ram rod onto the bullet. If you want to harden the bullets, drop the finished bullet in water, it will harden them a little, pure lead bullets are very soft. Make sure never ever to get water mixed into your lead melt though, it will spill disaster and leave you with possible burn marks that you never ever saw the likes of.
@@norseman5041 thanks for the good advice
@@thriftyoperator637 when you get bit of this ''virus'' it is hard to get healed LOL. I have been ''hobby'' gunsmithing for years and are an educated machinist among much more. But guns have always been a passion since I was a kid. I find that I fit in best with people who appreciate gun culture and history. I hope you have many years of great experiences with your rifle. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Coolest arts and crafts project I’ve seen all year.
does the spring have to be the exact 1 used in the video, they are unavailable in the link posted.
@@fiftycalibre01 No. You could use most any spring that fits. I bet you could steal one from a ball point pen and it would work.
What handguard is that?
@@FX4_outdoors whatever came on the palmetto PCC. I just chopped it to fit the suppressor.
This is just what I needed....now where to get the tactical sewing machine
Can you do a load bearing harnes or a commando rig
Finally got myself a 3D printer; this was one of the first things I printed. Thanks for the video & file!
@@unashamedly1776 nice! There’s s a ton of fun and useful files out there.
awesome vid thanks man
Nice work.
@@TrzCharlie thanks! This rig is still working well for me.
My next investment is definitely going to be a sewing machine. I am proficient with needle work by hand but haven't used a machine since i took home economics my 8th grade year. I have an old singer sphinx from the late 1800s or early 1900s I should restore and use. I think you have inspired me to finally do just that. Thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas with us.
@@Esotericgeminitwo sewing kit on an antique machine would be super cool.
Awesome instructions! Thankyou, i just hand sewed mine together. What in wondering now is maybe im rethreading it back on incorrectly because it slides to easily once i let the rifle go it slides down to become loose. Either way i am glad i found this video and your channel. Thankyou!
Awesome video
@@Saboteur_91 Thanks!
Thanks!
@@EPorter792 any time!
Been on the hunt for g3 mag pouches and came across this and another video of yours. Finally some info lol
@@kiyoshi8657 yeah for how popular they are I would think there would be more info out there.
I have the earmore ptt and the otto NoizeBarrier headset and it doesn't work do i need to do this?
@@tactical_bearded_hillbilly7130 I haven’t used that combination so I can’t saw for sure.
@thriftyoperator637 I spoke with customer service it is already wired for nato. But I don't think it is amped for the headset
Brother, have an old Phaff my dad gave me. You just lit a new fire under my old butt ! Thanks for the easy to follow video.
@@scubadude72060 anytime bud.
I know this video is older but I just practived sewing some zippered box pouches. How hard would it be to make one of these but zippered?
@@thecupcakeman69 not much harder. You would just have to leave an allowance for the zipper and be really careful about the edges lining up
Awesome. Made an AR10 mag pouch from this and it's great. Thank you.
@@SaikawaYasashi good to hear!
Are you me???
@@ThriftShopOperator 👉👈 hmmm I’ll have to think on that one.
The front trigger isn't setting due to the actuator lever is raised too high within the side-lock. Turn the screw behind the front trigger counterclockwise one full turn. The front trigger should release at 3.5lbs, the rear trigger set should set the front trigger to release at 7oz. pull.
This is awesome! Just subscribed
@@bluemonday09 thanks!
I tried to make one of these and quickly found out that it ain’t worth the headache of weaving that shock cord through these parts. 1/8in shock doesn’t fit the holes, aglet or not.
Bring back brass on wood
Obrigado pela ajuda amigo, segui seus passos e obtive sucesso no reparo :)
One of the best sewing channels in youtube. For tactical sewing maybe the best!
@@Revilerify Thanks! I appreciate it.
How many mats does it take to stop a bullet?
Thanks for the detailed guidance
Can anyone recommend a good sewing machine to do this kind of work?
@@pghrs1234 I have a singer linked in the description. I’ve heard they are good for the price.
Can you show how you swapped the internals of the rail adapters?
@@lukepoupore3160 it’s pretty simple. Just unscrew the central screw and swap everything on the inside.
