Greetings,
I am in search of ammunition boxes for the 6pdr7cwt ATG. C298 but especially the 6 round C264. Also searching for the wooden chest that carried tools and spares. I would appreciate any assistance! Cheers,
Paul

Rob, all in cm, width 63, depth 32, height 24. If not 6 Pdr, maybe something else ?

Hi Paul,

Are you sure about the C298? I think you would want the C263 or C263A. Like the one in the last picture on top of the stores chest.

Cheers,

I am pretty sure. I have one (with no original markings of course) but somewhere in my images collection I have a picture of one marked up. On BOCN there is a theory, it seems, these were Canadian only. But yes, I would also happily take C263 or C263A!
