Anyone collect .22 ammo boxes????
Want to trade?????
Being stuck on an island, we never had the variety like those in the states.
I've got a few (for us) odd ones, but mostly the common brands.

I sorta collect some. Not seriously. I have a few I'm told are kinda rare. But I try & get mine full of ammo. I also know a gentleman in Ga. who has a much larger collection of 22 stuff. I actually swapped him an old store display from Remington I had found.
Are you looking for anything specific?

Let me know what you are looking for I just cleaned out a fellow's basemanet and I have a bunch of different boxes 1/2 full. I was going to dump the ammo in my test box and throw the empty boxes away. some of these boxes are marked 29 cents for 50 rounds.

But WHAT an island to be stuck on! I am sure many of the shivering folks on the east coast would like to be there.

Please don't do that! I'm more than willing to pay for the shipping and toss in a couple bucks for them sight unseen. Just PM me .

To the OP , sorry about the HI-JACK! Wouldn't shipping full boxes be $$$$ , IIRC ammo can't be shipped by plane (i think)

PM me your snail mail address. I have some old Monarch 22 LR boxes (empty) and a Winchester Super X 22 Mag box (also empty). I'll flatten them out and mail to ya in an envelope.

Ammo can be shipped to us, but it's expensive.
I'm not looking for boxes with ammo in them. Better for me if there empty and flattened. Cheaper to mail.
I'm looking for mainly off brands. But really early common brands would be nice.
I would really like to find some store brand boxes. I have an old Sears box.
Anything old and odd.
Kind of like me. Old and odd.
