M1956 Sleeping Bag Carrier – Original U.S. Military Issue

Original U.S. Army M1956 sleeping bag carriers, designed to attach directly to the M1956 suspenders as part of the classic Load-Carrying Equipment (LCE) system. These carriers were issued to securely transport a sleeping bag, bedroll, or rolled poncho while keeping gear balanced and accessible in the field.

Constructed from heavy-duty military canvas with steel hardware, they’re built for durability and long-term use—whether you’re completing a period-correct M1956 setup, outfitting a field pack, or adding an authentic piece to a Cold War–era collection.

These are New Old Stock (NOS) items. While unissued, they may show minor storage wear or light oxidation on metal components from decades of storage—purely cosmetic and consistent with original surplus.

Features:

• Genuine U.S. military surplus

• Designed for M1956 suspenders

• Heavy canvas construction with metal hardware

• Ideal for sleeping bags, ponchos, or bedrolls

• Perfect for collectors, reenactors, or surplus enthusiasts
