FRANKFORD CALIBER .30 M1 TRACER WW2 NEW REPLICA 20 ROUND AMMO BOX (2 PCS)

Description

Up for your consideration is a set of two reproduction CALIBER .30 M1 TRACER 20 round ammunition cartons with a FRANKFORD ARSENAL label.
The .30-06 cartridge, first developed in 1906, was the official U.S. rifle and light machine gun cartridge in both World Wars and Korea, with combat use finally ending in the 1960s. The huge quantities of ammunition required for World War 2 dramatically reflected the impact on warfare of rapid-fire weapons like the machine gun and semi-automatic rifle. Total small arms ammunition production from 1940-1945 exceeded 41.7 billion rounds, and of that total the Caliber .30 round accounted for 25 billion rounds in all loadings. During the 1930s Frankford was the only plant in the U.S. producing military small arms ammunition. It also carried out the bulk of the research and development work on small arms ammunition, and personnel from the Arsenal formed the nucleus for the expansion program when the "waves" of other plants were built.  In October 1941, the Arsenal was put on a 24-hour basis to manufacture the necessary ammunition for the expanding armed forces. Daily production included 9 types of .30 caliber loadings, and 5 types of .50 caliber loadings. Frankford Arsenal was not closed down at the end of the war, continuing operations until 1977, when it was finally shut down for good.
Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for 2 unassembled cartons with dividers and labels. The Frankford Arsenal label has the unique WW2 green and yellow stripes, which identified the contents as tracer ammunition, and a hand-stamped lot number matching my originals. If you prefer, I can match the lot number of a spam can, crate, or original cartons that you may have. The cartons, dividers, and labels will be shipped flat, with assembly instructions, and the shipping is free within the U.S. I had a lot of these made, so if you want multiple sets, just change the auction quantity before you click the "Buy It Now" button.
Check my feedback and buy with confidence. I prefer paypal, and shipping is free to U.S. buyers. I will ship world-wide, with the buyer paying all shipping charges. Those charges will be added by eBay during the checkout process. Payment is expected within 3 days of purchase. Returns are accepted within 14 days, with buyer paying return shipping. If you have a lot number preference, please send details in the checkout instructions, or send me a separate email.
