P-60 boxes down under
15 of them. This is the smoke round box that fits in the FAT backdoor step cradle. Good deal but over there. Cheers Rob

smoke one? I thought there fit the AP...
-btw - geat find - very nice cond - my are worse - and were more expensive :) Frankie |
Hi Rob,
Were these multi use? The few i`ve picked up (they are common over here, not to rub it in) have been marked as 25pdr shell boxes and from memory the ones i have are marked HE? I am likely not joining the dots together and assume i have missed a link between the 25pdr and the FAT, hence the box? Cheers, Ian. |
P60 box vs. cab 13 FAT - http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=14429

I wonder a what a pallet from down would cost.
They also fit in the door of a Cab 12, but here they tend to be a nuisance. |
YOur right Ian...
Smoke or HE, still a good fit.

Originally, the P60 is for AP projectiles, each in a cardboard tube. Smoke and HE came in P59 boxes, four in a clamp carrier.

P60 boxes
I would like to buy them all and ship to Vancouver but at what cost?
I'm sure there are a few here that have been looking for a couple each for a while now. In North America P60 and P59 boxes are no where to be found, why is that? Walde :confused |

Here is a box i have, hence i asked based on the markings. Not one to be up on what shoots what at who, I didnt know if this was correctly marked for the use on a CMP based on the above statements on the P60 boxes use, or just the same box used for something else. Not that I mind, its a neat and well marked box and one of the first things I bought along time ago so has some sentimental value even! http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/data...mmo_box_2.jpeg http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/data..._IMG_8171.jpeg Ian. |
As I hit post, I remembered this other one. It's now residing as a tool box under the seat in the jeep. Has a neat slot cut in (don't shoot me for doing that to what seems something hard to find for others!) with a tab sticking out to enable a lock to be fitted as seen in the photo- makes for great secure under seat storage. It is welded (neatly!) into a frame which shares the front seat bolts and so is kept securely in the vehicle. Fits a hand bag perfectly I get told often!

They do seem to be common over here (that said, don't know when I last saw one in the 'wild' at a garage sale or swap to even get to help!). Cheers, Ian. |
I am now in possession of the 15 P-60 boxes that were advertised on Gumtree. I use these cans for storage and have picked up a number of them over the years so probably now have more than I need? Condition varies with none of them being pristine.
I'm not out to screw anybody but do have a fair investment in time distance and treasure. PM if interested. David |
