Be very aware that repops of these are trickling onto the market as we speak. And if I might be so bold as to say, I haven't ever seen one as bright and shiny as this one, not even straight from Ordnance!

These containers came out directly from Austrian surplus. Originally used for the pulltrough of the subcaliber device of the Carl Gustav.

If that's right, then that should be good enough for anyone. But they have certainly aged well. VERY well in fact

[Gil Boyd]

Hope people don't get stung here on either item, they look really to new for me on reflection, and if the bottle had been used operationally at all, it picks up stains that you can't hide or get rid of.
£33.75 for a brush

Sooooooo much negativity! I have a Container Pullthrough which is as minty as the day it was made and I know with certainty its route out of the military. The bottle in question came from a certain RAF establishment in southeast England in 1989 and has been wrapped in plastic and housed in a box for the last twenty odd years and is clear and bright as the day it came out of the mould!

[Gil Boyd]

Probably the only exception then.....a brand spanking new one. Not intended to be negative, just wary!! Look what the chinese have done with the Rolls Royce copy ha ha!!
Good luck if you are the seller, pushing the price of the L42 CES up each day, can't be all bad
