CR Speed VERSA Magazine Pouch Modification

Episode 005: CR Speed VERSA Magazine Pouch Modification In today's episode of the Adventures in Practical Shooting and Life we answer a special email request about the modifications that can be made to the CR Speed VERSA magazine pouches to get them away from the body a little more, but still remain 'Legal' in the USPSA Production division world. Parts needed: Drill and Drill Bit Drill Bit slightly larger than head of button head M6x30mm screw. *I HIGHLY recommend that you do this drilling on a DRILL PRESS. Make a jig that will hold the magazine pouch SECURELY while you drill and expand the hole on the exterior of the VERSA Pouch Spacers (Black) Round Spacer, Nylon, M6, 10mm, 10-Pack Item # 3ZMT5 Mfr.

Model # UST187490 Catalog Page # N/A UNSPSC # 31161501 GRAINGER: AMAZON: Washers M6 Shakeproof, A4 SS Washer (DIN6798) *Note the DIN #. This type of locking washer works best! Item # 23NJ96 Mfr. Model # M51460.060.0001 Catalog Page # N/A UNSPSC # 31161801 GRAINGER: AMAZON: DIRECTIONS: 1) Remove bolt from inside of magazine pouch that holds together the pouch and the belt attachment. This separates the VERSA pouch into two parts 1) the mag pouch and 2) the C-Bak belt attachment. 2) There is a hole on the OUTSIDE of the CR Speed Versa pouches. You will need to drill that hole LARGER to fit the longer M6x30mm screw though the pouch. Make SURE you are drilling the EXTERIOR (Facing away from body) hole in the VERSA pouch..not the INTERIOR (towards body) hole. Compare Button Head of the M6x30mm bolt with a drill bit to get just a TAD large size. Now, Drill the hole. 3) Replace bolt with M6x30mm bolt through the magazine pouch. Ensure it is all the way through the magazine pouch and button-head is touching the interior BACK of the pouch. 4) As bolt sticks out externally of the magazine pouch, insert washer on the bolt and push flush onto the magazine pouch. 5) Insert one Spacer on the bolt and push flush onto washer and magazine pouch 6) Place washer on the bolt and push flush onto the spacer. 7) Place a small amount of BLUE Loctite on the end threads of the bolt 8) Screw in bolt until you have a slightly snug fit 9) Orient your magazine pouch to the angle desired 10) Tighten down bolt as much as possible. Ensure that it is tight enough for 'teeth' of locking washers to dig into the magazine pouch, the C-Bak belt attachment AND both sides of spacer. **Careful! Use a quality Allen wrench to do this tightening. If using a ball-end wrench, the torque may bite the end off. Make sure it is EXTREMELY tight whereas the magazine pouch will NOT move
