Description of Flask
Limited to 762 serialized pieces
This limited-edition drinks flask is an exact replica of the U.S. military's ‘Long Range’ variant of the M118 7.62 x 51mm cartridge, known as the M118LR. This cartridge was issued to the USMC Scout Snipers for engaging & neutralizing long range targets.
The flask is an exact 1:4 scale replica that emulates all the key features of the M118LR. The removable ‘bullet’ is a clone of the 175 grain Sierra Match King Open Tip Match (OTM) head that was used in these cartridges.
The impressive detail extends to the head stamp on the base of the cartridge where letters and numbers are carefully CNC’d into the base. The “LC” stands for the Lake City Arsenal where the M118LR’s are produced.
The “LR” is due to being the “Long Range” variant of the M118, and the numbers are the year of production. There is also a stainless steel ‘primer’, to contrast with the rest of the cartridge for a true to life feel.
This flask is manufactured on state-of-the-art CNC machines from premium 6061 aluminum for a high quality finish. It holds 1.5 fluid ounces, which is the equivalent of one US shot…. One shot, one Kill!
Each and every flask from this limited edition (762pcs) is individually engraved and numbered. All proceeds from the sale of this flask will go towards funding the Marine Scout Sniper War memorial.
