Now if I can just figure out a cure for the trigger I will be a happy man. :-)

Cheers

Re: Identify This Can???

Thanks Matt, Bergflak (Reidar) has also confirmed this... This one came with the MG13 sold from Germany to Portugal, and never saw any German service. It has the typical pre 1939 camouflage. The typical set-up for the MG34 was a standard 300 round box with two of these cans. The Petroluem cans are s...

I realized that after I posted and of course on this forum, you cannot go back and correct typos!
