3. Rifle box of some nature
4. Rifle box label
5. Rifle box exterior

It is interesting to note that since the 90mm gun section has been at Prefair, there have been no air attacks in that area. As for the frames, a road trip has been organized for early Saturday morning - once again, Bob Carriere's Ford will be hauling home the rusty gold. Hopefully another HUP will find its way to the Hammond Barn this Spring...
The rifle box is a mystery to me. A guess would say it is for the recoiless rifle. I say this because the NSN prefixes shown are for us made telescopes or optical instruments of some kind. We had no other equipment with the term "rifle" that used US optics that I can think of. If you are back at the store, can you take a shot of the full NSNs shown?

Prefair will soon lose it's protection from air attacks. I have information that all 3 guns are to be heading out west, likely in the spring.
