Looking for empty Winchester shell boxes for a Winchester Model 70 Super Grade featherweight display. Need one box 308 and one box of 270. Need help to right side up. Looked right when uploaded.

PM- if you have the listed boxes for sale.

Hi Dick-

For a M70 Super Grade Featherweight (manufactured 1955-1959) display I presume that you are looking specifically for the 1946 style red/yellow boxes (1946-1959) like the one you pictured?  Not the 1930s-40s red/yellow/blue or 1960s yellow boxes?  Obviously 308 WIN (introduced in 1952) wasn’t put in the earlier box, but 270 WCF was…

I don’t have any empty boxes in those calibers, but just want to clarify what you’re looking for in case I run across something soon…

Yes, I am looking specifically for the 1946 style box as shown in the WTB post. Thanks Lou, for your help in clarifying my request.

Hi Win61,

I have this empty box 270 Winchester Primed Cases. I believe it’s 1952 – 1954 vintage?? I have no idea what it’s worth.

PM me if you are interested.

Thanks,

Al

A few weeks ago  my local gun store had a minty full box of 308 ammo in the red, white, and yellow box that are seeking.  I believe price was around $90.  I can check if they still have it next week if you wish.  Send me a PM if you would like me to check.

Al,

I believe this is the style prior to the one that I am looking for.

Thanks for posting it.

Don, 

Received the box of 308 ammo today. The box was wrapped extremely well. It made the trip through our postal system without a dent or scratch.

Thanks for an outstanding transaction.

Still need the 270 box.

Glad to hear it arrived safe and sound.  I’ll keep an eye out for the 270 box you are seeking.  You are very welcome.
