Heya guys I know this is a stretch, but I am wondering if anyone has pics or knew who manufactured the older dual mag clamps that were made for AR-15's / M16's. I had one years ago and I have since lost it and I wanted to do a repro of the rifle i carried but have no pics and cannot remember who made it.

Thanks for any help

Choate machine tool Co. Made these. Redimag used to make a version that mounted on the receiver.

Heya guys, sorry it took a while to get back to you all on this one I have been out for a while and just coming back into things (had some surgeries and retirement issues).

No, the choate one is kind of close. I found a pic or two, but I don't think I can post pictures on this website for some reason (I might be doing it wrong also), if so that might alleviate some of the confusion though.

Fulton-Armory sells it too... https://www.fulton-armory.com/magcinchar.aspx

I think it's the magcinch brand one mentioned earlier. According to the photo it's the webbing material.

I had the canvas mag cinch one. Was ok, ended up using one of the cinch straps with one of the aluminum base pads that held two magpul p mags. Rock solid. I’ll get a pic when I get outside

I've got one of these somewhere that I've had since the early 90's...only works on USGI style magazines, though.

Heya guys i am finally circling back to this thread figured out how to post the pics...sorry for the super long delay. I remember seeing these in the 1980's or 1990's; but for the life of me I cannot remember who made them.
