.30-06 Ammo Crate Question

[rob love]

The NSN is indeed for 30 cal blank. The NSN also mentions that it will be packed belted 250 rounds to a belt, each belt in a M19 metal box, and 4 boxes into a crate number C23. Sounds like yours has been altered from blank to ball.

Nice Vietnam era crate! Did you get it the metal ammunition boxes in it as well?

Hi Ed,

No the crate was empty when I found it...

I don't collect Canadian or post WW2 gear so will have to see what I will do with this....

Thanks for the replies all...

If you lived in Canada, I would be trying to cut a deal with you on it.

TheNATO symbol on the box (broken circle) depicts "Blank". the symbol for "Ball" is just that, a black ball.
As most ammo(Ball) even at that time, was packed as; 4 Ball, 1 Tracer (4bit) that makes yours pretty rare. I cannot explain the contradiction
