I bought one the 8mm belt loaders from Sarco this week and was surprised it did not come with it's storage can. I really didn't think it was a big deal as I have several ww2 German ammo cans laying around here. I got one of the empty ones out and try as I might I cant get all of the parts of the loader to fit in a standard ammo can. Either the can that was originally shipped with the loader is bigger than the standard ammo can or I am an idiot. I vote number 2.

It's quite a trick to puzzle-fit all the pieces in. I had the same problem and with a bunch of googling, found a picture of how it all goes, but I've long since forgotten where that was. I think it's also in the books. If none of those help, I can dig mine out and photograph it.

I spent about an hour googling different word combinations. Found many pictures of the iTMS but nothing that was helpful . How can you tell if you have an 8mm can or a 308 can?

I have a photo of belt loader in can, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to copy a image to your website. What gives?

Figured it out, here's belt loader.

wow talk about tight! I thought maybe I had a 308 can but it all goes in just like the photo.
Thanks much I would have never figured all that out.
