Genuine British Army .303 ammo bandolier designed to carry 50 rounds of rifle ammunition.
50-Round Storage Capacity
Built with five distinct pouch compartments, this cloth bandolier holds ten 5-round charger clips of .303 British ammunition. The fold-over top flap keeps clips secured, preventing dirt ingress while allowing quick access in the field. Each pocket uses a simple metal wire hook closure through a cloth loop, offering a silent, reliable fastening that will not jam with mud.
Cold War Military Issue
Issued under military nomenclature Bandolier, 50 Rounds, .303 Inch, Mk 3/1, these original mid-1960s items feature authentic factory stamps from Radway Green (RG) and contractor marks. Made from heavy-duty tan cotton canvas with a reinforced bottom strip, this Mk 3/1 version improves on wartime designs by adding extra structural stitching to prevent wear during field transport.
Field Utility and Reenactment
Featuring an integrated cotton webbing shoulder strap, the bandolier can be worn cross-body or stowed inside standard 1937 pattern basic webbing pouches. It provides historical accuracy for living history reenactors and British Army collectors. Shooters and outdoor enthusiasts can also use the lightweight pockets for organizing small tools, field gear, or rifle cartridges.

- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
