Decided to re-mod my Thompson mag pouch charges, figured this one is on a broad range of troopers so I'd post over here first.
a little closer in look and less weight too. Here's where I started:
2 cans of hairspray for the tops, kept the pvc, a couple magnets, four 1/2" washers(two each) and a couple pieces of cut marker, then finally a screw on top.

Some black paint/rub-n-buff/steel wool, and heres the final product next to a screen grab:

A little closer in look and again, less weight to carry. All for $6 :thumbsup
Looks good! The top of the hairspray bottle was a great fit. It has to weight a LOT less than the cast metal bits before.
