Description: NOTE TO EBAY - THESE BOXES ARE SHIPPED FLAT AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY RESTRICTED AMMUNITION COMPONENTS*Up for your consideration is a set of 2 empty reproduction early-war M1 carbine 2-piece 50 round ammunition cartons, with the early WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS COMPANY and WESTERN CARTRIDGE COMPANY labels. Winchester Repeating Arms Company was the manufacturer selected by the Ordnance Department to develop the cartridge that was to be used in the new light rifle that was in competitive development at the same time. The nomenclature assigned to the original cartridge was "Cartridge, Cal. .30, Short Rifle, M1." The round was developed from Winchester's commercial Cal. .32 self-loading cartridge. The first two lots of cartridges (March and May 1941) were used for weapons testing. A third order was placed in November 1941, with the box label reading "Cal. .30 Short Rifle M-1 Self Loading Cartridges" and was the first production batch that utilized the 2-piece carton. After that third lot, Winchester, Western and Remington started mass production of the Cal. .30 Carbine round, and the nomenclature was standardized as "Cartridges, Carbine, Cal. .30, M1". The two piece carton continued in use for ball rounds by Winchester and Western well into 1942, when it was finally replaced by a one-piece carton.Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for 2 unassembled 2-piece cartons, with one of each of the early Winchester and Western labels.. The cartons 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 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. I will also combine shipping for multiple items if you ask.
