Mystery Ranch was one of the first companies to jump on board offering aftermarket pouches and such for the molle system. The price back then was above market and I pretty much forgot about them until you posted. 15 years ago everything was made to order. They possibly were the first people to offer the built in straps over the tabs. I have a few pouches still and they work all these years later. Quality gear and used to be very specialized. The market has stepped up, so I can't speak for today's gear. They could have fallen behind or continue to lead the way, not sure.
