Default 2 pounder ammo locker

I acquired this rusted ammo locker from a Tim Scriven in Australia for just the cost of shipping to UK. The damaged area was mostly contained to just one side. Fortunately we have Terry Roberts (Metal Magic) here in south UK. I had it sand blasted and freed the hinges, door clamp and threads with the aid of heat and die nuts. I then gave it to Terry who repaired it by copying the good side. Just needs a few heavy coats of primer before top coat....good as new. Cheers Tim Ron

Default ammo box

Hi Ron, That restoration on the ammo box looks suberb, its great when you can retore rather than make a new one, i have a bren mag loader box with the bottom rotted out waiting to be rebuilt.

Ron, you interested in a 2 pounder site in leather case, australian made. I can send over some picks.

merry christmas, kevin.
