Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just wondering. Only I have a CluLite 'Shootalite' rig here and my battery is the shoulder strap sort. Of course, being right handed, I sling it over my soulder so the battery's on my left side. That means the strap is weighing on my right shoulder. Exactly where my rifle is carried. Quite frankly; The combined cutting into my right shoulder soon becomes an issue! After a couple of miles I find myself lifting and shifting the battery in an effort to relieve the strain. It spoils a whole patrol So I figured I'd get me a belt pouch to redistribute the weight of the battery. But Cluson only sell the whole deal? Bummer. Well, if no one here can point me right, I'll go to them and ask if they can't sell me just their canvas case. Except that my model of battery has a lamp handle holding slot rivitted on. I don't thing their cases are made to allow for that. So it looks like 'Army Surplus'. My case measures; 8" Long (Inc. Handle slot). 5 1/4" High (Plus a couple of mm). 3" Wide. So, obviously I'd be looking for something damn close to that, without the thing being able to slide and wobble. I say govt / army surplus, but in these days of entire industries tuning to supply Rambo wannabee's and such, there's so much " Webbing " kit out there. Anyone been down this road already and found The answer, please? It has to be belt wearable. Beyond that, as I won't be taking it out of its pouch a lot, closures etc. aren't that important. As long as it can be closed and not let the battery pack fall out as I go under a wire or across a ditch. But ye'd know that Anyone got anything for me, please? Quote Link to post
pointer28 1 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 DS, Clu-Lite are imported by a company in Co. Laois. I'll try and find their details and send them to you and they will tell you directly if they have what you want or not. Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) This isn't belt wearable but if you have a backpack already with comfortable shoulder straps there's your answer. Stick the battery inside with a towel wrapped around it to stop it moving around, job done. Also you can carry spare gear for repairs or extra whatever you may need.

MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Can't remember where I got my belt pouch but I did buy it without batteries. Try 'Arthur Carter Field Sports'..01253 730811 Quote Link to post

Bobo 136 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've got a couple of belt pouches for 7ah batteries,they have slots on the back that you put your belt through, don't know if they are what you mean? Is that the battery size you use? Quote Link to post
MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 You could of course modify your shoulder bag!...Cut two slots in it and run a belt through! Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Wow! Hell of a response! Thanks lads So many leads and suggestions to follow up here ~ and cheers for the PM, Points ~ I'll work my way through it all and shall let you guys know how I get on. Unfortunatley, not too much can happen before the end of the month as I'm flat broke just now (owed plenty. Getting paid f*ck all ) But this is about as high a priority with me right now as getting my trigger thing sorted. I'll have to buy that from uk at twice the list price Still, get my rig in shape and it'll all be worth while, eh? Nothing worse than trying to work with nagging problems, is there?
