My neighbor wants to know the time period this ammo can came from. I don't think it's very old.

Likely 30.06 ball ammo loaded on 5rd clips in bandoliers for the 1903 Springfield rifle.
Likely repacked over the years to the can from original packaging.
They also spelled "bandoleers" incorrectly.

I have only seen M2 on clips in sealed tins

Do you have any of the ammo or bandoleers the bandoleers usually have the lot numbers and such on them also.
you can't load an A4 with strippers
Meaning easier to strip single rounds off strippers than enblocs to feed it.
yeah that's true. Certainly quicker than fighting with the enbloc. Plus you don't have most of the rounds drop out of the stripper clip when you remove the first 2 rounds.
