US WW2 Ammo Pouch Pederson Divice

US WW2 Ammo Pouch Pederson Divice
During World War I, the United States secretly developed the Pedersen device attachment for the M1903 Springfield rifle that allowed it to fire a .30 caliber (7.62 mm) pistol type cartridge in semi-automatic mode. This attachment was developed to allow an infantryman to convert "his rifle to a form of submachine gun or automatic rifle" in approximately 15 seconds. Very nice ammo/magazine pouch maker marked “R.I.A.” and dated “1919”. In very good condition.
