WWII M19 Brass Shotgun Shells 00-Buck - Boxes and Spam Can

[Nick B]

Really nice OP. I’m still looking for a sealed can of Vietnam era 12 gage
flechette rounds . ��

And if you happen to be one of the fortunate ones to own, a genuine military issued 12 gauge trench gun, these would be a must!

I don't own a U.S.Military Combat Shotgun. However, I made this one up from surplus parts and used it when I taught Combat Shotgun Courses to the Navy eons ago.

Yes, you are correct they are far more valuable in full boxes are sealed spam cans as collectors than anyone would pay for shooting ammo!!

And if you happen to be one of the fortunate ones to own, a genuine military issued 12 gauge trench gun, these would be a must!

Not to belabor the point, but when I was going to gun shows, loose rounds were being sold for more than you would pay for a 5 round box of current production 12 gauge buckshot. I would assume they go for even more now.

A few loose rounds would make a nice display with a trench gun, even if you didn't have a full spam can.

But if someone wants to shoot it, that's their business.

I am planning to put a box of 10 rounds up on a well known auction site so if anyone is interested in bidding on a box shoot me an email or PM and I will forward you a link to the auction.

Thanks for all the replies!
