shrapneldude Posted May 17, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2010 This is my post-WWII pack set, came assembled. I know it's not WWII, but should give a better idea of how they look when they're "stuffed" and kitted out fully with the bayo and the e-tool.

hotlead Posted May 17, 2010 Share #6 Posted May 17, 2010 Late war rifleman.... This is a set I put together and took pics of just to show how it all worked, so there's some late WWII stuff mixed with post war and Korean War stuff so the colors and pieces would contrast to show where everything went. I put it on a M-55 flak so it would show how it would sit when worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Flage Guy Posted May 18, 2010 Share #12 Posted May 18, 2010 "BOYT -44-" Ammo Belt, fully rigged... All the Pack set-ups above are "stuffed" with empty welding wire boxes scrounged from the trash at work; they fit perfectly into Marine M1941 Packs Various sized plastic bags filled with styrofoam chips are excellent pack-stuffers as well!

Brig Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share #14 Posted May 18, 2010 very nice, gents. Hotlead...how is that bedroll attached under the pack? Being a Grunt, and knowing I'd need into my pack during the war, that's how I'd've set it up, too. What model pack is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted May 19, 2010 Share #15 Posted May 19, 2010 I'm gonna have to look through the books and see if I can't find some shots of Packs rigged like Hotlead's is; very practical indeed! Looks like it's just 2 Bedroll Straps run through the loops meant for the shoulder straps when the pack is used without the Suspenders. BOYT -44-: Beautiful pic!! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotlead Posted May 19, 2010 Share #16 Posted May 19, 2010 'Flage guy has it right, the two bedroll straps go through the shoulder strap loops and the poncho sits a lot more secure and comfortable than it does on top, it's much easier to shoot from prone as well. I remember seeing a couple pics of Marines doing it this way in the PTO and in Vietnam, I wonder why it wasn't more common? Brig- It's modified M-1941 pack, folks call it a "roll top" version.

etienne Posted April 25, 2011 Share #25 Posted April 25, 2011 Late war rifleman.... HI, I know this thread is not new but as you were wondering if the marines used this setup, with the poncho or bedroll under the haversack, here is a illustration.
