Yes, two barrels each. Well, I have a truck so...load 'er up.

I like these old photos of the men and women who supported the war efforts from the home front.
Thanks, and keep them coming.

The containers look interesting.

They called it "Canning" and did it for long term storage. They did carbines and rifles...and we all want some. Everyone dreams of some warehouse somewhere still holding them.

Definitely. And who then call us here and tell they have some stuff for real lovers, not for the market. For us, who deserve all those gats!!!:rolleyes:

I do not know how true it is but i had heard that some of m1 returns from Greece came packed in cans. Probably an urban legend.

Possible, they may have received them like that and they just sat. CMP would have broken those down anyway.
