Description

Bulgaria, famed for being one of the most heavily armed members of the former Warsaw Pact, has continued to lead the way in elite Balkanite operations. Originally issued to lethal members of Bulgaria's special forces, these AK mag pouches are a traditional Cold War-era layout remastered in US Three Color Desert. Specifically issued for joint Ranger operations in Afghanistan. Perfect for airsofting or obscure LARPing, grab yourself this tactical piece of history. 

Perfect for a range of GWOT setups, the blend of USGI camo and Warsaw Pact compatibility makes these an essential for weird and obscure loadouts. Able to attach to any belt/utility belt, these are still plenty useful for smaller AR mags and carry up to two grenades per pouch. 

The Short and Sweet:

  • Proud Bulgarian surplus
  • Fits up to four AK/AR magazines 
  • Two grenade pouches
  • Bulgarian "Ranger" issued 
  • Fits any belt 
  • Piece of GWOT history

Bulgaria's storied 68th Special Forces Brigade isn't your typical airborne special operations group. Any oldhead will tell you, when these operators run up, the streets listen. Whispers of these tier one Bulgarians training Panjshiri rebels spread through Afghanistan around the mid 2000s. No photos, no promotion, just quiet work; head down, getting the job done. 

Now here's a story we all heard growing up around Parkway Gardens in the 2000s. 

Not too long after the Bulgarians started making moves, Mullah Mohammed Omar's boys pulled up to Rokha, music blasting, flexing APs, Cheetahs, and tecs, no respect. The streets were tense, but nobody could have predicted what happened next. 

Just as the function picked up, the music cut; dead silence. Some say you could feel the air change right before it happened. All of a sudden, hundreds of concealed Panjshiri opened fire. The last thing some of those Taliban fighters saw was a famous "Bulgarian Hammer Fist" from the shadows. 

A handful of Omar's boys went back to Quetta and never spoke publicly about that night.
But if you asked them off camera?
They would've told you Afghanistan had new guardians.
And they ain't finished.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
