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.
