does the main bag have 3 sections inside, some used to have rigid dividers whilst others were canvas. This was for the 3 spare barrels for the SF gun and the front to carry the C2 sight in its box. There was also a ground marker triangle and three small white pegs, a black/white aiming post (looked a bit like the old type trip flare posts minus 1 prong) and a trilux lamp that affixed to it for night shoots and laying off the gun for pre-recorded targets etc.

 

The triangle was put on ground directly below gun tripod and the three pegs placed at end of each leg to allow you to remove gun and tripod and return and place it in exact same place. for example if it was a night sentry position or gun line that was only periodically used or for a reserve fall back position etc

 

hope this helps

gary, Its definately a GPMG spare barrel holder.

This version is a cheaper made one in fine weave canvas.

They are usually encountered in a green '37 type Webbing with the thicker weave.

Used with the SF (Sustained Fire) kit when used on the Tripod .

OPPS! Sorry Mark! I forgot to add. The three main internal pockets are for barrels, The small pocket is for a spare driving spring assembly. The Aliuminium tube is for a Large Black & white painted aiming post which the Tritium lamp fixes to for night usage. This would give a reference point to gauge from in the dark. Large pocket on the outside is for the C2 sight box, which gary has mentioned.

It SHOULD contain: a small pozidrive scrwdriver, a tritium lamp, a C2 Optical sight, A sight bracket for the Tripod, a releasing tool, three marker pegs, a mounting pin, & a Triangular marker plate.

And if my memory serves me correctly the rear plate(buffer) to replace the butt. Couldn't beat the sight of 6 SF guns on the gun line blatting off 1 in 1 tracer or a good night shoot over the heads of our advancing troops.
