Hey Bud!!
Last September my team and I made the trek out to Toronto for OP Border Wars II. Before the OP, we tinkered around in Toronto for a few days visiting most of the Surplus Stores.
All of them had components of the 82 Pattern Web-Gear to varying degrees, and some had actual sets put together. Granted, not many were correctly assembled or with all of the standard pouches - but not everyone had the benefit of going to battle school right?
Anyhow, as our team uses the 82 pattern Web-Gear, we noticed quite quickly that there was one store in particular that carried a lot of the older 82 Pattern gear, such as C2 mag pouches, and the SMG mag pouches - and that most of the pouches they carried were never issued and looked brand new (yay - no broken plastic clips for holding the stuff onto the web belt!!). Hell, they even had the 82 Pattern holsters for the Browning 9 Mil. Anyhow, the store I'm referring to was "Save More Sports Store", at 114 Queen St. East.
There was another Surplus store north of Save More on Younge Street, called "Central Surplus". They had a lot of pieces of web-gear, though at a glance the only older pieces we saw was one or two SMG mag pouches.
Most of the other pouches there appeared to be C7 pouches, but admittedly, we didn't look closely at the pile of pouches in the back with the exclusive purpose of determining whether we were looking at C7 or FN C1/C2 mag pouches.
Anyhow, either place was a bit pricey, but they do have what you're looking for (particularly Save More).
Ideally, if you or someone you know could go down there, then you'll be able to piece together what you need and ensure it's serviceable. But, if you're only looking for a pair of C1 or C2 pouches for instance - then I'd go with Save More only because their stuff appeared new, so it should be less likely to have any defects/broken parts etc.
Anyhow - hopefully that helps.
Cheers!!
Brian
