A Little Box has Arrived.

Post by AR4412 » Wed Jun 03, 2020 8:34 pm

But, can anyone guess what is inside this time?

The parcel dimensions are 37 x 25 x 21 cm, and all up weight of the parcel was 2.3Kg. Don't let the figures fool you as the objects size may be diferent, and it's weight is only 1.5Kg.

Well..all I can offer is that the packaging is very similar to D&B packing dept decor.

I will go for....Lmg 4 cartridge catcher.

:shock:

Hiya Sidders! :D ,

You sir, know your packaging. It is indeed an item from D&B, but not for an LMG.

Hiya Shaun! :D ,

No, not a claymore mate. Although I would like a complete claymore/bag/firing cable/clacker set at some point.

Hmm! I used to have several of these at one time (not the claymores themselves, of course, as they had been fired), but the ancillaries and bags. When we did demolition training we used to set them off using det cord and safety fuse so all this stuff was left over. I used to have the hand firing devices for RDKs as well - they were wind-up dynamo-style exploders. Everything went when we cleared out my father's attic after he died! It's annoying when you realise you've got rid of something you later want. Same with all my uniforms when I left the army - I could have kept everything, instead I even got rid of my woolly pullies - why?

Hiya Neil :D
I thought I'd start exotic mate, just on the off chance :), so not LMG, maybe GPMG 50rd box mag but you've probably got one anyway?
BTW, you beat me to that 4.5" case of Shaun's!!, I'd clocked it from a ammo box on gleebay N97, Mk8 or something like that IIRC.
Best,
Bob
