IDENTIFY MACHINE GUN LINKS AND STRIPPER CLIPS

[2700fps]

I have a box of this stuff for a while. There are 2 sizes of links but most are the larger size. Also a bunch of striper clips including these extra long ones with the letters bxn 52 and bxn 53.

Anyone know what firearm and caliber they might be from?

Photos attached.

Thanks!

The stripper clips looks like 5.56 for the M16 series rifles and the big link is more than likely for 50 BMG (M2) kind of hard to tell in the picture.

Yep, looks like links for the Ma Deuce 50 cal. and the smaller ones are for the 1919 Browning 30 cal.

M2 and 1919 pull the cartridges back out of the links.
Modern links the cartridge is pushed forward and doesn’t have the smaller part that is on the shoulder and neck.
