paulsavoy Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm not good for DIY, so please be indulgent : Pay more attention to the idea than the result This is a 5" x 8" tin box, used to present the advance parts needed for precaution.first difficulty is to cut the emplacements, not easy with soft foam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeport28A1 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Ive been told that foam can hold moisture so check your parts once in a while for signs of rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adg105200 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Ive been told that foam can hold moisture so check your parts once in a while for signs of rust. Just buy a pack of Zerust plastabs and keep one underneath the parts. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsavoy Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 I reopen the topic after 4 years !

No sign of any rust yet 🙂 (box is in a dry place) Also I would like to present my other "Spare Part Box", inspired by the great Gordon Herigstad tin box. First please excuse the finish, I'm not very manual ! The idea was to create a spare part box that could fit in a regular XX pouch. I used a bad demiled XXX mag. It can content cleaning tools, tools and/or parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD. Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Very nice. A great use of a demil magazine. I would wrap everything in a cleaning rag so no rattles. I really like the 2-cell pouch. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the only two cell pouches produced during WW2 were for the Colt .45 mags, and they were not the same size as Thompson XX mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsavoy Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 I really do not remember where I found it years ago, It was sold as original, not repro, but I'm not enough specialist to be 100% sure. That I know is that the threads are cotton, not synthetic, and it is different of some repro I saw. More info welcome 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked at the French web page for the knock of Cutts compensator, I see a similar mag pouch (I presume this page has a reproduction pouch), but I’d love to know more information about either pouch.

paulsavoy Posted July 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) So far, all the reproductions i saw have the 2 holes placed lower, and no strap on the back. Not sure, but it (the original) could be from eastern Europe Edited July 8, 2023 by paulsavoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
