Turn ammo box into storage box.

Dear Editor,

The M2 machine gun has lots of tools and other stuff that it needs in the field. It's easy for the items to go missing, which can be serious in the cage of something like a timing gauge.

We've managed to stop losing so many M2 items by turning an old amino box into a storage box. We paint the box a different color than a normal ammo box so it won't; be mistaken for one. Then we stencil stencil, cutout device of oiled or shellacked tough and resistant paper, thin metal, or other material used in applying paint, dye, or ink to reproduce its design or lettering upon a surface.  the M2's ID number on the box.

Here's what; we keep in the box:

* headspace head·space  
n.
The volume left at the top of an almost filled jar, tin, or other container before sealing.

Noun 1. headspace - the volume left at the top of a filled container (bottle or jar or tin) before sealing
 and timing gauges

* ruptured cartridge extractor

* operator's TM

* cleaning kit

* barrel change mitt

* range card

* a list of what's kept in the box

We check the list before we go to the field to make sure everything's in the box. Then we make sure the box goes with the M2.
