Moderators Tackle Posted August 2, 2021 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hey guys, thinking about downsizing the literal ton of rigs etc I own, like the look of the helikon TMR, only issue I might have is mag size, every review & pic I can find relates to AR/stanag size mags, can't find any reference to larger mags such as M14/FAL/G3 mags, all of which I use. Anyone own one & use it with these mags, don't want to buy one only to find out it's not up to the job ? TIA Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Mark I think @Skara has a TMR so should be able to clarify but I'm fairly sure it's built around 5.56 platforms. The Competition MultiGun Rig might be better for you or maybe one of the plethora of "modular" rigs out there (Spiritus, Haley, WTF et al plus all the moody copies).

Supporters Lozart Posted August 3, 2021 Supporters Share Posted August 3, 2021 This is a pretty decent review and he shows it running SR25 mags so maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It only takes 5.56 mags, or 5.45 ak ones if you flip them bullets (bbs really) up. I would go for a haley rig if I were you, it's more versatile than the TMR (or the multigun rig) as it takes 4 mags instead of 2/3. And you can still use it with 5.56 mags due to the mp2 inserts. 2 minutes ago, Lozart said: SR25 mags wut? They look like steyr 5.56 mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneshotscott Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Not forgetting the centre two of the m4 slots are a sleeve that can be removed and replaced with any other helikon insert that fits in (pistol or other mags). If you're after a multicam tmr I may be selling mine that I've used for 5 game days (send me a pm) as I need to decide in the next few days what to keep/sell as I've accumulated a lot of stuff.

Skara Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Maybe the newer ones have wider side pouches, mine is from the first batch ever made and it's pretty tight for anything that's not an M4 mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted August 3, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2021 Thanks guys, only after an OD one, & my pockets ain't deep enough for Haley kit etc, might have to find a retailer who does Airsoft kit & may be able try one with a mag ?. Alternatively I'll punt around for a s/h one that I can mod ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concretesnail Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Would.it be worth a look at the ops minimo. There's been a few about second hand lately. It's a similar design and they are usually available via hueys (they have been good in the past for me) and the ops stuff isn't bad at all.

Skara Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 You can mod it, of course, but I don't think it's worth the hassle, there are more suitable rigs out there (starting with the competition multigun rig) for 7.62 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtTalbert Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I have a TMR and you can fit 2 x scar in the 'chest' pocket. the M4 sleeve is removable and I put in my own sleeves dependant on the rifle I'm using. Ive used AK, M4, MP7 and SCAR mag sleeves in mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
