MG08 loader boxes

Post by bmg17a1 »

Picked up three MG08 loaders, all DWM and complete with loaders and parts in quite excellent condition, and one has a box that is taller than the others. It still has the ID of the maker stamped on the inside botom. There is no recess in the inside bottom of the top to accomodate the end of the axle of the loader drum when in the box. Never noticed the height difference compared to other loader boxes and it is taller than the other loader boxes in my collection.
Anyone else have taller boxes with some of their loaders?

I will check mine when I get home.

Bob, if you are looking to sell one of your loaders, my friend with the 08/15 sideplate might be interested in the least expensive one.

Mine has the angled cut on the top near the hinge. The box is 12.5" tall.
