Are these ammo box's out of a Bradley ?

[BLK HMMWV]

Any of you Bradley guys recognize these ammo box's.
I'm trying to figure out what they were out of.
Sea foam green leads me to think U.S. Armor of some vintage.
25mm make me think Bradley but I can't find any pictures of them in a Bradley.
Thanks for your time.

The BFV ammo boxes had ammo chute attaching lugs. And I think they held up to 200 rounds.

Is there a NSN on the pox? or part number?

I was close on the ammo in the ready boxes. Ready boxes held 230 & 70; HE & AP rounds. 600 rounds were in black boxes and stored under the floor and in sponson boxes. Total combat load is 900 rounds. I believe there may have been other 25mm variations like SABOT.

OK, I got it. These are “hot boxes” for storing ammo 25mm under the floorboards in the rear of the BFV. Prior to this there were black plastic boxes that the ammo came in and we stuffed them under the floors. It appears that these boxes replaced the black ones.

This would explain why I haven't seen them when looking at interior pictures of the BFV.
Under the floor boards.
Thanks

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, a NSN or Part number is gold worth!

The black plastic boxes only hold twenty rounds and they are not all linked together, The hot boxes are designed to facilitate faster reloading of the Bushmaster. Fifty rounds are linked together and placed in the three boxes.

I guess I haven't been a member long enough to post messages to individuals. Any chance I could get measurements of that hot box?
Thanks

 

[Guyfang]

Correct. You need to get up to at least 15 posts before you can PM.

 

[Long Tabber]

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to notify OP of my question in case he hasn't seen it. I would appreciate it.

 

[Guyfang]

When you want to try and get someones attention, do this.

Are you trying to make one?Buy one?
