PLEASE NOTE: ARC PLACARD V4 SOLD SEPARATELY
The RAM (Reinforced Ammunition Management) Elastic Insert is our update to the antiquated Elastic Inserts found across the market. This design was born from two problems: one was the lack of any suitable AK magazine placards out there that addressed the issue of the locking lugs tearing up pouches. and the second was users wishing to have an easier time re-indexing magazines into elastic cells that lay completely flat when empty. To solve these issues we came up with a way to get Tegris Thermoplastic strips to line the side edges of each magazine cell so as to allow a magazine's rough lugs or pressure points to slide in and out without damaging the elastic that provides the magazine retention. This also helps keep the mouth of the elastic cell partially open at all times. This effectively offers the benefits of Kydex inserts without the impracticality of a pouch that is completely open.
The RAM Elastic Insert works in our ARC Placard V4 and other placards that are Hook & Loop Velcro lined and that are wide enough to accept the various caliber sizes we offer. This product is NOT compatible with the Spiritus Systems Microfight or Haley Strategic Micro Rig.

RAM Elastic Inserts
This is really a mandatory addition to the ARC placard. Without it, the ARC is without form and when integrated into a chest rig (in my case), it will essentially just be a floppy pouch without any rigidity or structure, and you would have to go HAM with shock cord just to keep it closed.
Bottom line: if you have an ARC placard or similar, and using it in a standard manner, this should be a mandatory addition.
Works as advertised. I enjoy the modularity
I love the ram inserts and the placard. Especially when reindexing your magazines during tactical reloads. I will definitely buy more upcoming products.
Initial thoughts and observations were very positive. The ability to hold up to 4 mags is very nice, however with PMAGS it's a bit tight brand new. I have adjusted the insert a few times and have gotten the elastic to loosen up a bit. Best practice is to place the mags in the Insert and then put the insert into the Arc v4 placard. The Velcro on the insert is strong so be weary when you trying to move the inserts. make sure to look at the instructions when attempting to place the inserts into a Velcro Placard, I'd recommend V4 Placard for ease of use.
I also purchased the Arc V4 placard and honesty love it, I have some modifications in mind that I am going to test out with some upcoming training events but overall, the inserts pair extremely nice with the Arc V4.
