Japanese Khaki bandolier (only).

 Very sturdy, this 17 pocket bandolier holds 85 rds of ammunition as originally designed and used throughout the Pacific and China campaigns by Imperialist Japan. Used with 6.5mm & 7.7mm Japanese ammunition on 5 rd. stripper clips, this bandolier can hold an assortment of different similar sized ammo on clips like 8mm, .303, etc. Very convenient for lugging ammo around to the range, wearing in the field, or for static displays. New mfr.

    Terrible quality control

    The bandolier technically works but not very well. The snaps are utter garbage. Half of them are installed wrong and don't snap closed at all. The other half do close but come undone extremely easily. 0/5 for the snaps.

    The cloth seems to be stitched together fine. Although the seam where the cloth is stitched back go itself is misaligned. 2/5 for the stitching.

    This is more of a nitpick but the pockets themselves are a little too desp. Retreating a loaded stripper clip from within any of the pockets is a bit more difficult than it should be.

    Overall I do not recommend this item. I will add that I would have gladly paid an extra $10 dollars if it meant the snaps would be of better quality and installed correctly.
