I'm looking for a set of Brit DPM PLCE 5.56mm mag pouches to replace the crappy Canadian-issue pouches I currently have on my webbing. However, I'm having a hard time finding an online store that sells the above item. I have tried "Drop Zone Supplies" (UK based) but they're all out. Does anyone know where I might go? Thanks.

BDM,

Bill is right Siverman's is the place to go. Just remember to check the exchange rate when comparing prices.

You may also want to check out Platypus Outdoors at:http://www.platypusoutdoors.com.au/index.htm (http://) this is an Aussi store but has good kit none the less.
OR
Ebay.com, occasionally there are auctions for Brit DPM Combat '95 gear.

Supply Sargeant in Edmonton has em, but you'll pay through your nose.

BDM,
Also one thing to note is to make sure they(Silvermans) deduct the Value Added tax, when you order the Mag pouches. It's a European tax that Does NOT apply to non European customers. Should save you some coin right there!

You should get them in the old Green. They are usually chepear and will match your current rig better.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll probably get a set from Silverman's. However, I've just found a site that sells mag pouches in Danish DPM (www.dupontdesign.dk). The pattern sort of looks like CADPAT actually, and all the kit on the site looks to be of high quality (although the assault vest seems a bit inexpensive). The mag pouches that are advertised look like they only fit 7.62mm mags - I wish I could read Danish so that I could find out for sure! No luck finding a free Danish -> English translator on the web either.

Re Silverman's

VERY overpriced, they didn't take off the VAT for me, and charged 20.00GDP for shipping. Plus Canada Customs kills you at the border. Try 'Brian" first.

Just remembered; try Springfields
www.springfields.co.uk

About a year ago I got 2 utility pouches, 2 ammo pouches, a belt and 2 pr of the S95 green leather/goretex gloves. They shipped UK Post Small Package (about 8.00GBP) took off the VAT and gave me a military (10%) discount and sent the package as "Gift" for customs (no duty, saved almost 36%). All in all a good go and a great bunch.
