.308 only ammo can.  Current issue for German forces using the MG3.  These cans are skinnier than earlier German ammo cans.  These only work with .308 and fit into double gun mounts, vehicle mounts and tank mounts.  If standard ammo cans are two big for your mount than this is the can you need.  Holds 250 rounds of belted .308.  We have two conditions for choose from.  Used for $10 each and NEW for $15 each or two NEW ammo cans in original box for $28!
