Winchester Ammo Boxes

Interest in one aspect of shooting often results in interest in some other aspect. Some folks actually commit money and time to the effort. Rick Bachman has managed to accumulate these ammo boxes for Winchester 1876 ammunition.

Check out the late (circa 1915) box of .40-60 WCF. Look at the model designation at the bottom of the label. It says for Model “86. This is a very rare “error” label box. This is actually a sealed, unopened box. I’ve had it in my collection for nearly 45 years.
