MG42 Barrel Carrier Post War - With Waffen Marking - BK/60

The MG42 barrel carrier. Built from pressed steel by Rheinmetall and similar German subcontractors after the war, these carriers were meant to serve as cheap and easy ways to store extra barrels or overheated barrels safely without harming the gunner or assistant gunner and ensuring the barrel's safety. This specific post-war carrier, marked BK/60, is distinguished by its Waffen marking, adding a layer of historical authenticity to its design. They're squared off at one end for the barrel extension. Today, these surplus post-war barrel carriers, despite minor cosmetic wear, are ready to carry your extra 8mm or .308 MG42/M53 barrels once again!
