Summary
The M2 Standard Ammunition Box was a replacement for the wooden M1917 Ammunition Box and the wooden M1917 Ammunition Packing Box. It held 110 belted or 105 linked rounds of .50-caliber ammo. It was made from 1942 to 1945 and was phased out by the 1950s. Unlike the other metal ammunition boxes it opened from the front and was secured by a cotter pin.
