About Original U.S. Vietnam Era M1956 Ammunition Case
Original Item: The M-1956 Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment Ammunition Pouches were marked "Case, ammunition, Universal underneath the cover flap. They hold short magazines for the M-14 rifle and the M-16 rifle. The case has slide tab closures attached to a canvas flap and snap closure grenade loops on both sides. The so-called "M56 ammo case" includes an adjustable attachment strap on its back that clips onto metal loops on the Load Bearing Suspenders to prevent wobbling of the case and to distribute the weight better from belt to suspenders. Measures Approximately 8" x 4" x 2" Offered in solid but used condition. Two Alice clips included. All covers are from in the late 1950s through the 1960's with most ink stamps faded. One Pouch only.
