Box 510

Here is an interesting ammo can I saw at a surplus dealer in Canada.... not that you find modern .455 Revolver boxes anymore especially dated '78.

Hi MissingSomething,
Yes, very unusually marked box. Not seen one like this before , made at the Kirkee arsenal in India, which sort of explains it. The strange bit is the lid is marked up for 5.56 Ball.
Cheers

Is it not an M2A1? Can you show a picture of the 2 ends?

 

[MissingSomething]

It is a M2a1 can thats been repurposed. No other pics available.

Could it be a mongrel of two boxes? A lid marked with 5.56mm fitted to a box marked as .455?
