Ammo boxes
« on: November 30, 2015, 09:36:01 PM »
Anyone have a cheap source for .30 cal Vietnam era ammo boxes in Victoria?
I remember seeing an advert years ago on gumtree, I think the seller had pallets of them, around the frankston area.

No pic Mick.
Guess I could just buy any old 7.62 ammo box and repaint them with a new correct era stencil.

I know what the 7.62 boxes look like. If I find some, how much should I offer?

You could make this fellow an offer:

Good thing he clarified it was empty. I thought it was full.
I thought it for a pallet of them!
I'm sitting on a fortune with the ones I've got!
Oh wait, someone has to pay the price first, bugger.
