That's a wierd one...
Maybe for something like a Pederson Device or a Charlton device, which turned bolt rifles into semi's with a wierd toggle action (like a big Luger).
Extracts the case out of the back and then brings it forward?
It's a new one on me?
@buffalowinter any ideas?
Cheers,

Could those be belt loops on the side?
This concept?
Thank you,

The note in op says 3006 dummies so this answer seems promising ?
+1 @MrSmith above, that's a belt 'magazine' not an 'in the rifle magazine'.
The "dummy" refers to the cartridges with bullets and fired primers ....

^^^ That makes total sense... dispenses rifle grenade launching cartridges quickly!
Cool find!

uff ... the inside is more complicated than I imagined
I assume that little hinged divider thing can be moved along the corrugated metal for different length cartridges? That would help explain why the spring leafs are so short.
Weird that there's not a single mark on it.
I tried searching for answers a little earlier and got nothing. May try again tomorrow. Can't believe it's a one-off, somebody must have made a few of these and sold them.

I’m not one of the vintage experts around here, by far, but were there rifle fired grenades in WW1? Either way, cool piece of history!
