LAKE CITY ORDNANCE PLANT CAL. .30 M2 BALL WWII NEW REPLICA 20 ROUND AMMO BOXES

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 a LAKE CITY ORDNANCE PLANT 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. In 1940, with war under way in Europe, sites were selected for the first 3 government-owned, contractor-operated small arms ammunition plants, one of which was in Independence, Missouri. The Lake City Ordnance Plant, operated by The Remington Arms Co., was set up to manufacture both .30 Caliber and .50 Caliber ammunition. The plant was in operation by September 1941 and the first lot of ammunition was accepted in October 1941. In 1942 production of .30 Carbine ammunition was added. During the next four years it turned out over 3 billion rounds. The Lake City Ordnance Plant was closed during August 1945, but later it was reopened for the Korean War.Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for 2 unassembled cartons with dividers and labels. The Lake City Ordnance Plant label has the unique WWII red stripe, which identified the contents as Ball 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. 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. If you have a lot number preference, please send details on the eBay checkout page, or send me a separate email. Be sure to check out all my other replicas. Just click on my store link at the bottom of this listing. Thanks for looking, and I appreciate your business.
