Saa links

[smle2009]

Hi to all,
Turned these links up today and have no idea what they are used in,calibre or country of origin.
Simular to the German spring links for the MG42/MG3 but are the disintergrating type.
All are marked AA52 SAV,any help on id with the above would be great.

Cheers
Tony

Links

They are for the French AA52 light machine gun.

Many thanks TonyE,is that the same beastie as the MAS 52 in 7.62mm NATO?
All the best
Tony

Aa52

Yes. I believe it was made in both 7.62 Nato and 7.5mm MAS.

These French links are quite similar to German MG81 links and work pretty well in that MG, too.
