*NOTE TO EBAY - THESE BOXES ARE EMPTY AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY RESTRICTED AMMUNITION COMPONENTS*

Up for your consideration is a set of 3 empty reproduction M1 carbine 50 round ammunition boxes, with REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY (R.A.), WESTERN CARTRIDGE COMPANY (W.C.C.), and EVANSVILLE ORDNANCE PLANT (E.C.) labels.

 Development of the .30 carbine round was started in late 1940 by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company under an Ordnance Department contract. By late 1941, with war on the horizon, additional contracts were given to Western Cartridge Company and Remington Arms Company, while continual refinement of the design was carried out by Frankford Arsenal. During this same period the Ordnance Department was beginning the small arms ammunition plant expansion program due to the limited capacity of Frankford Arsenal and the commercial manufacturers. By mid-1942, the Evansville Ordnance Plant was completed and producing finished carbine rounds by January 1943, although the bulk of Evansville's capacity was devoted to .45 caliber production. The Evansville plant was later responsible for the development of the small arms ammunition "spam can" used for long-term storage, and resulted in many of the boxes getting the "Repacked E.C." red stamp  as part of the process.

Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for 3 unassembled cartons with one each of an  early "REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY" label, early "WESTERN CARTRIDGE COMPANY" label and mid-war "EVANSVILLE ORDNANCE PLANT" label. The lot number is hand stamped on the lid prior to shipping, either matching my original boxes, or if you prefer, I can match the lot number of a spam can or crate that you may have. The cartons 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 on the "Buy It Now" button.

Check my feedback and buy with confidence. I prefer paypal and shipping within the U.S. is free.  I will ship internationally, but there will be extra shipping charges involved. Those extra charges MUST be paid by the buyer, and will be added by eBay during the checkout process. If you have a lot number preference, please send details to me on the eBay checkout page, or send me a separate email.
