Mag pouches for the safe door

[Odd Job]

View attachment 769405 View attachment 769406 View attachment 769407 I recently got a customised 10/22 and 10 BX-25 mags. I found out they take up quite a lot of space in the safe, so I thought it would be good to store them on the inside of the door, as others have done.

I got some fabric online and made a strip to hold 10 pouches. The fabric is soft but will withstand a lot of wear. It is rated to 80,000 rubs and is 100% polyester.
I individually sewed 10 pouches and attached those to the base strip with a mixture of eyelets and strong thread. It took a lot of time sewing it!

Here is the finished set of pouches:

I have space to add two more BX25s or several 10 rounders. I haven't decided yet.

Then I got two magnets with hooks and attached those to the safe door:

Those are really strong!

And here is the strip of pouches hanging from those magnets (with 10 loaded magazines inside):

When I go shooting I just unhook that whole strip, roll it up and take it as is to the bench.
So far I am very happy with it.

The inside of one of my safes is fuzzy. The hook side of velcro sticks great to it. I bought some nice leather looking vinyl and sewed pouches. I put velcro on the back and stuck them to the inside of the door. They have been there close to 10 years and haven't fallen.

For additional more-efficient storage I installed pegboard hardboard to the inside of my gunsafe doors.

Would you mind sharing what fabric it was and who you ordered it from? I ask because not many places sell rated fabrics to the public. Thanks.

It certainly did. The design, style, use of contrasting colors and the craftsmanship are all something you should be proud of.

Did you use a sewing machine or is that all hand stitched?

Either way, I'd like to know who taught you how to sew? This certainly doesn't look like the work of a novice.

Thanks, you are very kind!
It is all hand stitched and the eyelets done with a hand punch and die. The stitching is not so neat closeup but it is very strong because it's been done three times per pouch.
The fabric is from Modelli fabrics, and it comes from two sample pieces I bought online.
The fabric has a grey backing and a soft black front, which gives it that effect. I wanted to have each pouch mouth at an angle to easily put a mag in.

I'll provide a link to the fabric later. I bought two different fabrics, one for the pouches and one to repair a pocket on a shoulder bag.

That's the one, I bought two jumbo samples at £9 each and it was just enough to make those pouches.
