USMCman01 Posted November 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 26, 2015 I saw this strange bandolier and couldn't help but know what it is. It looks like a carbine bandolier but I don't know for sure. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinb Posted November 27, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 27, 2015 Frags only. Chemical grenades are too tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browninggunner688 Posted November 27, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 27, 2015 Hayes Otoupalik has these for sale for $490 for a pair. I dont know how to post a link to his web site but they are in the U.S. bags, belts and pouches section, the item number is 003250, just keep scrolling down past civil war and ww1 gear untill you see ww2. There is a brief description for these as well as pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrayGhost Posted November 28, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 28, 2015 Hayes' prices are usually on the high side and can get a bit wild on the rarer items, so take his valuations with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
