Kydex Customs 12 Gauge Rock and Lock style Shotgun Magazine Carrier

The Kydex Customs 12 Gauge Rock & Lock Shotgun Magazine Carrier is a rigid Kydex pouch built to hold AK-style rock and lock 12 gauge magazines, including those used with the Saiga-12 and Vepr-12. It replaces soft nylon pouches with a moulded shell that indexes the magazine the same way every time, keeping reloads predictable on duty, in training and in airsoft or MilSim games.

Retention is passive and adjustable: the magazine is gripped by the Kydex body with no bungees, flaps or Velcro, and draw resistance is tuned with a Phillips screwdriver along the outer edge, with a drop of thread lock holding the setting in place. The carrier mounts ambidextrously by moving the hardware to either side, magazines sit rounds-forward for consistent muscle memory, and an open-bottom design clears water and debris quickly.

Lead Time: Made to order in the UK. Current production lead time is 1 to 3 weeks, with most orders shipping within 1 to 2 weeks; standard coloured Kydex is often held in stock for faster dispatch.
