SWANSBORO, N.C. – February 1st, 2023 – High Speed Gear, the manufacturer of the rifle magazine pouch for the United States Marine Corps, announces the LR-XL TACO®.
The LR-XL TACO® magazine pouch was developed to hold large precision rifle magazines for firearms such as the Barrett® MRAD® MK22™. Not only is the LR-XL TACO equipped with adjustable retention, it also features a cover which is secured with a silent closure system. The cover can also be removed for open-top use. This TACO is MOLLE mounted, features MOLLE webbing on the front, and includes two HSGI® MOLLE clips. It has flexible side walls which wrap the sides of the magazine to enhance retention and keep out debris. Like all High Speed Gear products, the LR-XL TACO is made in the United States and is Berry Compliant.
“With the recent adoption of the Barrett MK22 sniper rifle as a tool for PIGS, HOGS and Razorbacks, HSGI has created the best MK22 silent closure, removable flap magazine TACO pouch for the Sniper Community,” said David Jackson, Director of Government Sales for High Speed Gear. “This product was designed with direct input and recommendations from end users at a Tier One sniper school.”

Is that a tuck tab type closure? In other words, no Velcro? If so that is awesome and they should make a M4 pouch like that. I would replace every Velcro pouch I have if they do.
The closure type appears to use shock cord for retention. I really prefer this type over hook and loop due to loop getting gunk in it when in the field and no longer working. I hate loosing my stuff and struggling with my gear.
Check out the Barrel and Hatchet Ghost placard. While they havent made a single mag pouch version yet, uses shock cord and tabs for mag retention. I’ve enjoyed mine.
If I shot PRS matches rather than F-Class F-T/R division. I’d be all over one of these. I have one similar to this, I forget the mfg. It’s a bit bulky but in F Class I’m top loading so it’s not really necessary.
