caseloadr Posted April 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 2, 2019 My friend came across a 30 cal ammo can with 2 full belts of 30cal round with tracers every 5 rounds . The box it self has a locking lever on the one end. I know diddly squat about ammo cans in general. Is the lever for mounting on a tripod on a jeep or truck? I had a picture of it but lost it on my phone . I figure someone here knows . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasemonkey247 Posted April 2, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 2, 2019 It's probably the M1A1 ammo can made for the 1917a1 machine gun mount. The can was developed at the end of WW2 and was mostly used in Korea I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Look here to identify your flavor of ammo can -> http://browningmgs.com/AmmoCans/Steel.htm The "locking lever" allows the can to firmly attach to an 1917A1 tripod cradle.

caseloadr Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks guys I learn a bit . I thought it was to lock it on to something just wasn't sure as to either a tripod or a vechicle mount. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
