No problem, 8 dated 42’ is Awsome, I still only have 1 43 dated pouch, nothing earlier, still haven’t found one yet. Always love seeing your posts, never disappoints!

Exactly gear fan. This was definitely exciting. And to find 8 that were 42 dated was neat.  Thanks for the comment.

Nice score! It’s always the best when you find old stuff you forgot about, it’s just like finding something brand new, gives you a similar adrenaline rush, and best of all it doesn’t cost any money!

A Maltournee Jeep? Did you the blue tag on the oil filter bracket?

Not really rare, i got mine for $10

In my garage! While looking for a box of helmet liners earlier tonight I uncovered these carbine mag pouches. 31 of em of which 8 were dated 1942 and the rest appeared to be 1943. Kind of a surprise. I plan on digging some more tomorrow.

I stopped working on the bloody (literally) bolt firing pin hole clearing and worked on getting the bolt and op rod sliding in the receiver channel instead. It just needed a little more filing and it works smoothly now.  I’m sorely tempted to get a better operating rod. My Garanding budget is out for the moment. Maybe with my next paycheck.  IMG_1929.mov

Another offered with belt on FB in US Military Collectibles "Make Offer" Page. Naval Aviator named to Phil Hardy. Interesting that it is being sold and shipped from Vietnam.   

Here's one that was offered in a lot on FB and sold in US Military Collectibles "Make Offer" Page.  

What a mess!
