REMINGTON ARMS CALIBER .30 M2 BALL WW2 NEW REPLICA 20 ROUND AMMO BOX (2 PCS)

Description

Up for your consideration is a set of two reproduction CALIBER .30 M2 BALL 20 round ammunition cartons with a REMINGTON ARMS CO. 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. Beginning in 1939, small orders were placed with Remington Arms and Western Cartridge for military cartridges, paving the way for future expansion. During the critical period from late 1941 to early 1942, this company and Frankford Arsenal produced most of the small arms ammunition for the U.S. armed forces. Then, as the new ordnance plants started coming on line in 1942, Remington was the operating entity/contractor for the Denver, Kings Mills, Lake City, Lowell, and Utah Ordnance Plants. The total production of military calibers by this company exceeded three billion rounds during the war.
Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for 2 unassembled cartons with dividers and labels. The Remington Arms Company label has the unique WW2 red stripe, which identified the contents as Ball ammunition, and a hand-stamped lot number matching my original. 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.
