Post your photos of firearm related items here and see who can identify them first.

Would love to know what this is. Found it in a box of old miscellaneous gun stuff.

Almost looks like a tool to help with a belt fed.

What's the approximate size?

That's what I thought it might be. It's about 5" long or so, about 3" high.

Anything on the other side?

Does it say "UP FOR LEFT FEED"?

Not sure, I only took the one pic. Will have to dig it up, it’s around here somewhere. It’s from a relative’s garage cleanout.

Just as long as it doesn't say, "Front toward enemy"

I could see it being used to switch the side the belt is fed into the gun.

I did a little digging and couldn't find any definitive answers on which guns that was an option.

It’s a live cartridge stop for a 50 caliber machine gun blank firing adapter kit. They are usually tethered to the big overbarrel attachment but a lot of soldiers cut them off and lost them, or kept them, many times unintentionally.

You can see it here. 3rd or 4th picture. https://www.bmggunparts.com/product/9324931/
