I record my vintage .22 ammo, but if I had your ammo, it would take me the rest of my life to record it!😀 Of course, it would be nice to know what all you have.

Drm50, that is because it is your old case! The only thing better is if you had thrown in your ammo back then!!

AJ, I took a look in the dungeon this afternoon and decided that time is all I have other than my health. Digging into the dungeon for ammo is a bit like going on safari looking for tigers under trees. You would understand if you saw the dungeon.

I'll try to post a picture.

The dungeon is behind the curtain in picture #3. Pictures #1 & 2 show it as I was starting to enlarge the space. I still can't stand up in there.

I just got a chance to look at this site for a very few minutes and something I thought was kinda cool. Under the CCI Commemorative Boxes were these. It seems they would sometimes make boxes to commemorate special occasions for some employees, like retirements of longtime employees, I guess. I wonder how many they made of each? I would assume they were never for sale to the public, just maybe for the families. Check these few out.

Paul, the box is very cool. I see "For Model 1903 Automatic" printed on the box. Approximately, what year is this ammo from? Thanks.

A few that I’ve picked up over the years. Always enjoyed having some matching vintage boxes to go with my guns and before I knew it, I had a decent ammo collection.
