Product description

A handy, lap-sized wooden crate. These have housed assault rifle ammunition in their former life, and we think it's pretty awesome the Czech armed forces have actually put these into circulation instead of destroying them with fire.

The milsurp wooden box business is a tricky trade, as the usefulness of the features of each box varies a lot. However, once in a blue moon a near-perfect candidate steps forward; these have an actual metal latch thing on the front, real hinges in the back, and even folding metal handles to keep the storage space at a minimum. It's always worthwhile to remember that these are not fancy decorative boxes but made for real military use, so you can jump on them and such.

Outside measurements 37 x 20 x 33 cm, inside dimensions 31,5 x 15 x 28 cm. Inside you can fit 20 cans of refreshing beverages, see the photos!

Used army surplus

Real deal Czech surplus, all probably made during the Cold War. These have been thrown around warehouses and trucks and then stuffed away, so they might be worn and dirty, but entirely intact. The quality level is pretty, well, level, so we saw no need to take a photo showing the piles of boxes.

I lucked out and received a grenade stenciled box with the original Czech instructions glued inside. Very well made and nice looking with working steel handles and front latch. I'm storing gun cleaning parts inside.

Great boxes, can comfortably carry heavy loads in two hands or lug them around with one in each. Need to clean the box and give the metal parts some oil when you receive it but for 20€ each they’re a quality purchase. Two stacked on top of each other with a foam pad on top makes a great camp chair, also use them as a step ladder to load things onto the roof of my car.
