AR 223 556 PMag Race Mag Pouch

Race Mag Pouch for 223 556 Pmags for ELS mounting system

Update 11192023

• Added Strengthening Ribs to the mounting side of the pouch
• Reduced mounting height by 1mm
• Made insert holes 0.2mm smaller

Update 01152023

• Got some feedback about the ELS not fitting (too tight). Updated the model.

This Mag Pouch uses the same Angle Adjust Plate and MRD as my double stack mag pouches. 

This was designed and produced around a 223 556 Pmag. Most likely it will work with several other AR platform 223 556 magazines, but i do not have any to try and I dont want to assume.

Cant adjustable from 0 to 35° when using both arc screws, 0 to 70° when using only 1 arc screw. You do not have to take this apart to adjust the cant. Loosen the arc screws and pivot screw (pivot screw is behind the ELS, access it through the left ELS mount hole), set it where you want and tighten them back up.

Retention is adjusted with an M6 screw that is buried in the MRD. I will add a thumb screw to mine for quick and easy adjustment.

Print pouch upside down on the angle with supports “Everywhere” and overhang angle set at 65. 

I print with 0.6 nozzle set at 0.24 layer height, wall count at 8, 5 tops and bottoms, infill 75% triangle for all parts.

I print all mine in PolyMaker PETG.

I have not printed the ELS yet, I modeled one for assembly design. It is dimensionally accurate with some minor modifications made for printing with a 0.6 nozzle. I did not model the female ELS.

About the heat set inserts. I only use the heat sets with the lead-in and for these you need to insert from the back of the part. You cannot access the back of the holes in the mag pouch with a soldering iron so I made the holes an interference fit and put a step at the end of the hole. So you will need to use some needle nose pliers and put the lead-in end of the heat set in to the hole from INSIDE the mag pouch, then put a washer and M5 screw on the outside and start cranking it down until the end of the heat set is clear of everything on the inside.  It doesnt take long and surprisingly they hold really well.
