I found mine on the back of an old tractor at auction. I'll give Derk Derin credit.....I recognised it as a military box, it was Derk who recognised it as the ammunition bin. I didn't have to buy the tractor to get it...I merely had to deal with the guy who did buy the tractor. I guess when you pay $350 for a tractor and get $40 back for the little box under the seat, you are doing OK.
I quickly sandblasted it and brought it to the MVPA convention in Alabama to show John Bizal. We had had a bit of debate about how high these boxes were supposed to be. He had repros of a significantly higher box. On seeing mine (with part number) he borrowed it and made a new pattern of copies. |

Are we talking bren mags, or bulk ammo storage?

I believe this box held 5 bandoliers worth of ammunition. One of the equipment listings says it held 250 rounds. My understanding is that it was an earlier version of the "bail out bags" seen on the later carriers.
I tried fitting 5 full bandoliers and they fill the box rather well.

Well it looks like you got to steal my line. You also got a Ford MCP that day, along with a nice pair of Ford doors, although I'm not sure it ever left my yard.

Yep, designed to take 250 rounds, of loose .303" ammo.
So what are these used in apart from a proper Bren carrier (pre universal that is)?

Now it's all coming back to me. I did get something that day. Alot of good parts on that truck for my Ford MCP dump truck that wound up in your yard in the end.Yes that parts truck was brought to your place and never left. Good thing too cause it saved bringing it to my place and then back to your place! Here's the good truck we picked up that day on the perimeter and hwy 59.
