Default Boyes Ammo bin

Hi everyone

I just got a Boyes ammo bin today and it needs a bit of work. Can someone post a clear straight on shot of the stencil markings on the side for me. Also if you could let me know the size of the letters it would be great.

The bin I got needs to be repainted and the orginal stenciling is long gone.

Thanks

Jordan,

The next time you are over why don't you grab one of mine. I suspect that I will never get a Boyes rifle ( the way Charlie watches me all the time when I borrow his ) so I have a spare.

You could probably borrow the real nice one and get a good deal on the one with a hole drilled in it, then just bring back 1!

Gun club 'til noon, drop by anytime.

Jordan,

At $53US I suspect that you will take the 2 Boyes ammo cans that I have up for grabs when you come over. I think they even have one of the super rare 2 button bandoliers with them.

After seeing what they were asking at the gun show for this stuff I better take out some more insurance on the basement - and the wife said it 'was all junque' - ha!


Stewart

remember Monday is grocery day in B'Ville ...

Every time my wife complains about not being able to park her car in the garage, I show her what some of the items I have are selling for on ebay...usually 2 or 3 and sometimes 10 times what I paid for them!
Doesn't shut her up permanently, but it does end the discussion for that day anyway! lol!
