This cover (English: Spare Barrel Cover) is a classic piece of equipment of the United States Armed Forces (USGI), specifically designed for the safe transport and protection of the spare barrel of the heavy machine gun Browning M2 (.50 caliber) was developed.
Here are the key details:
Design and material
Material: Made from sturdy, heavyweight cotton canvas. Older models are made of canvas, while later versions were partly made of nylon.
Color: Classic olive green (Olive Drab, usually OD #7).
Closure: The bag has a long opening, which is usually secured with robust metal snaps or a heavy-duty zipper so that the barrel can be removed quickly.
Functionality
Protection: It protects the precise replacement barrel from dirt, moisture and mechanical damage (scratches) during transport in the vehicle or in the field.
Wearing comfort: Equipped with an adjustable webbing shoulder strap to allow the soldier to carry the heavy spare barrel over his shoulder.
Heat resistance: The canvas material is heat resistant to a certain extent, which is important if you need to store a barrel that is still warm (although ideally you should let it cool down).
Technical markings
NSN (National Stock Number): 1005-00-796-4436.
Part number: 7964436.
Imprint: You can often find black stamps on the outside such as "COVER, SPARE BARREL" as well as the part number or the US lettering.
