If that came packed in a clear plastic bag all neatly folded then I saw the same thing at the last gun show, about 2 weeks ago.
It caught my attention because I have never seen the package before. Looked brand new. |

Sounds like they've been put together in the bags like that for resale. Never seen 'em like that in the field, although that don't make it impossible but I just never seen it.
We always got 'em full and then made 'em empty, usually then just rolling the bandoleer up and tying it with the strap. I still find it hard to believe how much the "kits" sell for considering how many I've tossed in the past. |

Don't forget the black safety pin to keep the bandoleer on your shoulder. Not authentic without it!

The brass safety pin is to mark which pocket on the bandoleer holds the stripper clip guild.

Anyone know where I can get some of these bandoleer kits, preferably online?

Quoted: The brass safety pin is to mark which pocket on the bandoleer holds the stripper clip guild. Kharn Really? I've wondered about the old "what the heck is the safety pin for?" question. Now you've given a third answer (pin the guide, shorten the strap, mark the guide's location). ARGGHH! Chuck Rupe has been selling them this way for a while now, and has the best prices and excellent service. His wife irons the cotton bandoleers, apparently. Nice people! He can be reached at [email][email protected][/email] - has a website but I can't access it right now... |

Now here is the silly question of the day. The cardboard silencer. Are we talking a silencer for a rifle, or is it for silencing your movements, or what? I am former Navy, so we did not get to play with such things much.
