Found

[Whiskers]

I came across a big box of junk that contained some WWII items. .30 Caliber Carbine 2 clip pouch, one clip is still in the original wrap, about 20 rounds of .30 Caliber Carbine ammo, stamped 1942. 30/06 ammo stamped 30 gov 1906, cardboard 20 round ammo box printed the same way. In this big box was a bunch of OLD 7mm, and 7mmMag brass, and loaded cartridges. There are some of the old 5 round strip clips used for the Springfield 30/06, they still have enough spring to hold the rounds. Anyone interested? If this is posted in the wrong place please move it. Thanks.

I am going to attempt to post pic's of the boxes.

Anyone have any idea of how old these are? I have emailed Winchester, and Remington, but haven't recieved a response.

The boxes that are shown above look to be like some that my grandpa had. He thought that he got them after he got home from World War II.
Are you looking to move them?

I may be looking to move them, the Western Box is full of never fired ammo. The other two have spent brass.

Nice find, Those boxes look pretty old, if I were you I would take them to antique dealer and see what they have to say.
Maybe even check ebay.

Those Western rounds with the 220 gr boat tail bullets - are they round nose? A round nosed boat tailed bullet - shows how gullible folks are!

Here is a picture of the M 1 Carbine Clips in the pouch. The one on the right has never been unwrapped. Also have 20 rounds of .30 Carbine ammo stamped 42 on the base of the brass. I am not sure if thats the year they were manufactured or not. I don't know what the Avery 1945 means.

Calif. Hunter here it is.

The second and third boxes are just like the ones I was buying in the 50s and early 60s. I still have some of them. Doubt they're worth much, but who knows?
