While I was at it today I made the .303 ammo holders that fit into that funny pyramid that was a former discussion way back. these fit on the port side and a wider one on the other side.

I'm pretty sure the rounded end would be for smooth belt feed to the gun. Simple idea and no doubt very effective. I need to get the .5 ammo size before I make the other holders.

Thankyou for your comments.
Jordan, they're great photos and the last one certainly is of the Vickers. It is a later model than mine and probably a Mkv1B but it's all familiar stuff inside and a photo I have never seen before. Can I ask which Webb site to found them.
Colin.

Not a lot of wartime stuff. But the quality of photography is awesome.
