Was in Winnipeg and Steinbach for the day, so thus the late response.

The pouches are part of the auxiliary pouches rather than the usual webbing pouches we are used to. There was a front pouch and a back pouch...they only have the front pouches, and lots of them. I bought a bunch of crates of them just to use the long strap from the pouch....certainly worth a couple bucks although my friends think it's sacrilege to cut NOS webbing.

We stop in there for about 4 hours every time we go to Calgary for the gun show at Easter. The biggest impediment to buying more stuff is that we run out of room on the truck and trailer.

They also have rivets and machine screws, although they are starting to scrap a lot of their inventory. Screws or bolts were $5 a box.....didn't matter i fthe box weighed 5 pounds or 1/8 of a pound. Best thing is all the screws were slot drive and unplated...just what a guy needed for CMP restoration. I would buy $100 worth each time I would go there to build up the machine screw selection.

I'll miss that place when it is gone. There are very few like it anymore.

As to 25 pounders, I find they usually show up in pairs.
