Manchu Warrior Posted June 3, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2016 I found this Claymore Mine Bag at a thrift store today for a couple of dollars. I have never seen one with a white instruction sheet or with Velcro closures. The bag is also much thicker then the ones that I have handled with the green sheet. I looked on ebay and even watched You Tube to see if it was a modern bag and I did not see any with a white sheet. My question, is this in fact a new recent bag?

bheskett Posted June 4, 2016 Share #3 Posted June 4, 2016 The older ones are cotton, your looks to be nylon. Are there any numbers in the bottom corner of the instruction sheet that may give a date of the document or a revised date or some other clue.

Bob The bag is made of Nylon and there is nothing to indicate a date on the bag. Any other thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtmonroe Posted June 5, 2016 Share #5 Posted June 5, 2016 The last specifications for the cotton version of the BANDOLEER, APERS, MINE, M7, ASSEMBLY (FSN 1345-828-2927) were revised on 1 June 1973 (MIL-DTL-45417, Revision C). The specifications, MIL-DTL-45417, were revised recently (on 31 January 2014 - Revision D), but it does not state what material or closure devices are to be utilized in its construction. I believe you have the "newest" version of the M7 bandoleer (aka "Claymore mine bag"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohawkALSE Posted October 12, 2018 Share #7 Posted October 12, 2018 Raising this from the dead. I think that revision was to change the instruction sheet showing the non-electrical firing system that is used. That being said, has anyone seen a surplus M-7 bandoleer with that type of instruction sheet? Id love to buy one of those for the collection since I have one of the earlier style with the electrical firing system instructions. Ive only seen the new one in the 2013 dated TC/FM.

doyler Posted October 12, 2018 Share #8 Posted October 12, 2018 I recall the older ones had a green instruction sheet and the buttons or snaps changed from the early Vietnam era ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
