[Milsurplus] Re: WTB: BG-81 for BC-221.. Correction

[J. Forster]

Thanks Robert. I've never seen one.

My BC-221 has two columns of 3 each female snap fasteners and a D ring on each
side. They don't appear to have been used, but the 221 is essentially NOS.

So, if anyone does have the appropriate canvas (covers and/or strap) please
email me off list.

Also, the wooden bits for the battery box would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
-John
