Learn how to install and use the Double Rifle Mag Wedge for secure rifle magazine storage on your tactical loadout.
Quick Answer
Install the Double Rifle Mag Wedge on your MOLLE platform to carry two spare rifle magazines securely, with shock cord retention for airborne operations.
Why Use the Double Rifle Mag Wedge
The Double Rifle Mag Wedge is designed to carry two additional rifle magazines on your loadout without adding bulk. Its shock cord retention system keeps magazines in place during high-movement scenarios like airborne operations, while still allowing quick access when you need to reload.
Installation Considerations
Before you start, make sure your MOLLE platform has enough space for the wedge's two-magazine width. The wedge works best on plate carriers or chest rigs where you can position it for easy reach. Avoid mounting it too high or too low, as that can interfere with your rifle's stock or your natural hand movement.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Choose Your Mounting Location: Select a spot on your MOLLE platform where the wedge sits flat and doesn't interfere with other pouches or your rifle's stock. A common placement is on the front of a plate carrier, centered or slightly offset to your support side. Test the position by simulating a reload to ensure the magazines are easy to reach.
- Weave the MOLLE Straps: Thread the wedge's MOLLE straps through the rows on your platform. Start from the back, go through the platform webbing, then back through the wedge's loops. Pull tight so the wedge sits flush against the platform. If the wedge wobbles, you may need to tighten the straps or add a second pass through the webbing.
- Secure the Shock Cord: The shock cord runs across the top of the wedge. Adjust it so it holds the magazines firmly but still lets you draw them with a smooth pull. The cord should be snug, not loose, to prevent magazines from bouncing out. Over-tightening can make drawing difficult; under-tightening risks losing a magazine during movement.
- Insert and Test Magazines: Place two rifle magazines into the wedge, baseplate down, with the bullet tips facing forward. Push them in until the shock cord holds them securely. Practice drawing and reinserting several times to confirm the retention is consistent. If the magazines are hard to draw, slightly loosen the shock cord tension.
