I had no idea that the WW2 wooden boxes where repainted/stenciled and filled for 7.62 and had assumed the boxes changed to the wire bound plywood version with two cardboard boxes therein when the C1 came on issue. Maybe that was a transitional thing going with the WW2 box till the plywood/cardboard versions came about in numbers. Cool idea collecting the boxes and packaging.

It gets worse when you try and collect every year of Canadian 7.62 stripper clip, every different marking on 5.56 stripper clips, mag loaders, bfa's......
Also have the wooden crates that metal ammo cans come in.....

Ammo cans not so much ( though I do have a good Selection of types And sizes) started with shot shells then African big game then slid to military calibres and 50 bmg then of Course afew collections then to hunt down the missing calibers/types to complete the holes. And now its clips, belts and mags to hold them in to groups . Keep your stick on the ice we are pulling for ya !
