Vietnam War US General Purpose Ammo Pouch (M2 Bag) | M3 Grease Gun / M60 Ready
Description
A versatile piece of load-bearing equipment with strong Vietnam War provenance. While officially the M2 Ammunition Bag (drawing no. 7052430), collectors know this better as the General Purpose Ammo Pouch used by unconventional forces.
-
Vietnam Usage: As noted in reference materials (VietnamGear kit 269), this bag was favored by CIDG and SOG teams because it perfectly fit M3 Grease Gun magazines or Swedish K mags, which didn't fit in standard M1956 pouches. It also served as a heavy ammo carrier for M60 machine gun belts or rifle grenades.
-
Markings: Clearly stamped "CASE AMMUNITION / 7052430".
-
Design: Features two large canvas pockets connected by adjustable cotton shoulder straps, designed to be worn like a vest for weight distribution.
-
Condition: Very Nice. The canvas is strong, and the markings are legible.
