This vintage USGI M249 SAW Barrel Carrying Case is a genuine military-issue item, designed to transport and store a spare hot barrel safely during extended operations. Constructed from heavy-duty canvas, this roll-up style bag was issued to SAW gunners to protect themselves and their gear from a hot-swapped barrel, ensuring quick-change capability in sustained fire situations.
Stamped with "HOT BARREL" on the inside, this case features metal clips and a reinforced shoulder strap, allowing it to be carried over the shoulder or attached to other gear. The interior heat-resistant lining helps dissipate barrel heat, preventing accidental burns or damage to equipment. An instruction label remains intact, detailing proper use and handling.
