VICKERS MG ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT
Ammunition boxes, belts and loading accessories:
One of the key components to any weapon is ammunition feed - it can be the difference between firing and stoppages. This page identifies some of the accessories for the Vickers MG that were used to feed that ammunition to the gun, store that ammunition in transit and any other items that relate to ammunition.
