Pretty cool site. We should get at least one crate for rifle M1 Ammo, and one or two for MG ammo. It's something to think about in the future. We could use them in the field, and at LH events.

Mike - that is a very nice fine.

I wonder what the inter-demensions of the K ration crate is. I've purchased about 22 basically brand new tent stakes, and will be getting another 25 or so. I think it would be cool to get one of these crates to storage and house all of our tent stakes. All the stakes are the same size so we can get a better/new crate.

Dave, I have a K Ration Crate. It is 12 1/2" X 24 ".

I have some of his crates. A C-ration, and an ammo crate/

Ack! I waited to long. He no longer sells crates anymore. Bummer.

That is a shame! I was planning on buying some more ammo crates from him too. Oh well. Maybe someone else will pick up the mantle and start making/selling this type of accessory. If someone were skilled in carpentry and could turn out bangalore crates, K/C Rat crates, etc...they could make some serious $$. Shipping is always a problem, but if the individual sold them at battles/events, I think units would grab them up.

There is an guy in the 506th (101st airborne unit) who makes them, and I think sells them.

Here is a make-it-yourself instructions
