PriorityOne Posted December 21, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2014 I found this bad boy at the gun show, guy had no idea what it was, and picked it up. I have seen one other one before, I was curios how common these things are and when they were made. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMoose Posted December 22, 2014 Share #8 Posted December 22, 2014 Always interesting. Made to go up front and be in between the belt and the suspenders, so I am going to guess ammo pouch. Maybe a trial SAW pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted December 22, 2014 Share #9 Posted December 22, 2014 Some dimensions might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoose Posted December 22, 2014 Share #10 Posted December 22, 2014 The only thing I can think of that shape is the 50 cal M107 mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMoose Posted December 25, 2014 Share #12 Posted December 25, 2014 Interesting. I would say SAW gun pouch, the SAW drums are about that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anelles Posted December 26, 2014 Share #13 Posted December 26, 2014 Belted 7.62×51mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriorityOne Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted December 26, 2014 Very well could be. Any other info on the pouch itself, was it part of a system or a one off thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 26, 2014 Share #15 Posted December 26, 2014 It reminds me of the XM7366 battery carrier for the Redeye guided missile launcher. I posted a thread on the pouch several years ago after finding one in a surplus store. There was a foam insert that went inside the pouch to hold the batteries. Since the Redeye was introduced about 1969, this might have been a trials pouch for carrying the batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 26, 2014 Share #16 Posted December 26, 2014 Here is the old thread on the Redeye battery pouch from 2009. Unfortunately, the photos have disappeared, but I probably have them on my computer somewhere still. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/54510-xm7366-battery-carrier-1969/?hl=redeye&do=findComment&comment=397811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 27, 2014 Share #18 Posted December 27, 2014 Here they are - unfortunately, I don't have the pouch handy to take measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PriorityOne Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share #21 Posted December 27, 2014 That seems to be the same size, that's for showing it. I think that may be what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 27, 2014 Share #22 Posted December 27, 2014 I think there is a pretty good chance - lots of similarities here. I will try to find my pouch so that I can take measurements... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriorityOne Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted December 27, 2014 Ok sounds good, thanks for posting those pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted December 27, 2014 Share #24 Posted December 27, 2014 Those two pouches do not look similar at all to me. Note the lack of the eyelet tab and the different webbing holding the slide keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriorityOne Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share #25 Posted December 27, 2014 This was the experimental pouch before that pouch (mabey) so that might explain the lack of features. Not saying it definitely is but that would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
