Vintage WWII US .30 Caliber M1 Carbine Ammunition Box

Now, this is a real treat for the eyes and the ears, so, pay close attention. *Reaches behind the desk and brings out a metal box* This, my good friends, is a Vintage WWII US .30 Caliber M1 Carbine Ammunition Box. This is the type of heavy duty ammunition carrier that was used for weapon drops that carried extra ammunition. Able to carry up to sixty 30 round clips, this ammunition box is the ultimate in ammunition carrying dependability. Now, think of yourself in war, with your M1 Carbine. You only have 7 bullets left in the magazine. Then, all of a sudden, you see a weapon drop! You run over to it, and get more ammunition. That senario I just explained was a real life thing in WWII.
