Description: RARE...THE WIRE HANDLE IS MISSING... AND SOME BOZO PAINTED IT BLACK..NO MAJOR DINGS...A LITTLE RUST STARTING ON BOTTOM.... M1A1 .30 Cal. Box showing opener, wire handle and tripod catch. The M1A1 was designed for use with the M1917A1 Machine Gun. The Cal .30 M1A1 box, side view showing nomenclature, makers name and side handle. The "flaming bomb" symbol of the Army Ordnance Corps was present on most WWII ammunition boxes. This one was last loaded with 250 rd of .30 cal AP and tracer ammunition in links at the Twin Cities Arsenal.The M1A1 box was designed for the M1917A1 Browning Water Cooled Machine Gun. It had a rubber gasket on the lid that was superior to the gasket on the M1 box and could be repacked and used again many times. Some M1A1 boxes have been found marked "Cal .30 M1 Box"." On some of these boxes the "A1" has been added in black painted letters after "M1". These were probably of earlier manufacture. A cartridge is embossed on each end of the lid of the M1A1 box to show the direction that the cartridges face. The M1A1 box measures 11" x 3-13/16" x 7-1/4". RUBBER SEAL INTACT AND IN GREAT SHAPE...

The catch on the end was used to fasten the box to the left side of the tripod of the M1917A1 machine gun but it was used with ammunition for other weapons as well. The M1A1 box was said to hold 275 rounds of .30 Cal. ammo in a link belt or a 250 round cloth belt with a gross weight of approximately 22 pounds. Four M1A1 boxes were"shipped in a wire-bound wooden box labeled "1100 CARTRIDGES Cal .30, 275 RD LINKED BELTS". The gross weight was 92 pounds.
