wooden ammo box.

publius · May 7, 2015, 12:38 PM

I want to make some old time wooden shotshell case boxes and I don't have the dimensions for the sub-gauges (20 and smaller) I'm talking about the old wooden box that hold a real full case, not these 10 box cardboard things they sell now. I know, I could stack up boxes of shells and get the dimensions but I can get exact measurements including the wood thickness if someone has some actual case boxes in .410-20ga. Thank you to anyone who can help.

End .691 inch thick
Side .334 inch thick
Bottom .334 inch thick

Inside depth 5.20 inch
Inside length 12.75 inch
Inside width 5.20 inch

Sides are 14 1/8 by 5 1/4 .334 thick
Ends are roughly 5 1/4 square by .691 thick
Bottom is 5 5/8 roughly by 14 1/8 .334 thick

This is a wooden Western Super X case. 410 2 1/2 inch.

Ends and sides same thickness
Side 14 7/8 L by 7 1/2 D
End 7 3/8 W by 7 1/2 D
Bottom 14 7/8 by 7 3/4

20 Ga. 2 3/4 Western Super X 500 rnd

I would cut a little proud first box.
