What is it ???

someone found this, they claim in an ammo chest. any idea’s ???

its a Chinese gun oiler. the Russians made one to…

I’ll probably be called a bullshitter, but here goes…

I was on a short overnight local security operaton with a squad of CIDG.
Much of our AO was triple canopy with thick undegrowth.

We stopped for a break along a faint path and I noticed one just like in the picture against the base of a tree a few feet away.
The hair on my neck went up and we moved on.

Booby traps were rare in our area as Charlie used the same routes at times.
I didn’t care, that thing is prolly still sitting there.

Not very glorious, but sometimes it wasn’t. Stirred up a memory, though.

It is an oiler and a grease can for a rifle. My Yugo mauser came with a similar one. Judgeing from the gliphs on it it is most likely Japanese.
