Description: B*NOTE TO EBAY - THESE BOXES ARE EMPTY AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY RESTRICTED AMMUNITION COMPONENTS*Up for your consideration is a set of two empty reproduction Pre-War CALIBER .30 M1 BALL 20 round ammunition cartons with a FRANKFORD ARSENAL label. The M1 Ball round was officially replaced by the M2 Ball round in January 1940, and much of the Frankford production was packed in stripper clips for use in the M1903 Springfield-model rifle. The labels were then marked "IN CLIPS" on the top so as to differentiate those rounds from standard, loose rounds used with machineguns, the BAR, and the new M-1 Garand rifle. The .30-06 cartridge, first developed in 1906, was the official U.S. rifle and light machine gun cartridge in both World Wars and Korea, with combat use finally ending in the 1960s. During the interwar period Frankford was the only plant in the U.S. producing military small arms ammunition. It also carried out the bulk of the research and development work on small arms ammunition, and personnel from the Arsenal formed the nucleus for the expansion program when the "waves" of other plants were built for WWII. The M1 Ball cartridge replaced the M1906 Ball cartridge, which lacked sufficient range when fired in machineguns, in October 1925. Production of the M1 Ball cartridge continued until the latter part of 1941.Each "Buy It Now" single purchase is for 2 unassembled cartons with dividers and labels. The Frankford Arsenal label has the unique Ordnance Dept. red stripe, which identified the contents as ball ammunition, and a lot number matching my original. The top of the label is marked "IN CLIPS", also matching my original. The cartons, dividers, 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 the "Buy It Now" button.Check my feedback and buy with confidence.
