Anybody have an idea how to preserve a ammo box, what to wrap it in so it can still be displayed?

I just take a good picture of it and it stays that way forever.Laugh

I use 3M window insulator plastic and wrap it like a christmas present using scotch tape and then shrink it with a hair drier.

I have the materials that you buy to make certain sized plastic envelopes by heat sealing. You make the correct size with one end open, put in the box of ammo, heat seal it, and then shrink wrap it with a hair dryer or heat gun. Very slick but takes practice. Peter
