Description: *NOTE TO EBAY - THESE BOXES ARE EMPTY AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY RESTRICTED AMMUNITION COMPONENTS*Up for your consideration is a set of two empty reproduction CALIBER .30 M2 BALL 20 round ammunition cartons with an early WESTERN CARTRIDGE COMPANY (WCC) 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 II 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, these companies and Frankford Arsenal produced most of the small arms ammunition for the U.S. armed forces. Western's military contracts from 1941 to 1945 included Cal. .30 carbine (ball and grenade), Cal. .30 (ball, frangible, armor-piercing, tracer and blank), Cal. 38, and Cal. .45 (ball and line throwing).Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for 2 unassembled cartons with dividers and labels. The Western Cartridge Company label has the unique WWII red stripe, which identified the contents as Ball ammunition, and a lot number matching my original. The cartons, dividers, and labels will be shipped flat, with assembly instructions. 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. I will combine shipping for international buyers for multiple items if you send me a request during checkout. Be sure to check out all my other replicas.
