I don't like plastic, I like genuine USGI M2A1 or M2A2
Since genuine USGI boxes command such a high price, I'd like to be able to just buy new and know that I am getting the same USGI box.
I haven't been able to definitively discern who makes what.
I don't want Chinese made....I don't care how well they are made.
Here's what I know :
I can get genuine USGI, but with shipping it always seems to be about $20 for a M2A1 box.
Harbor Fright is Chinese and the metal is thinner than genuine.
And the giant label doesn't come off easily.
Sportsman's Warehouse Eagle branded ($20) looks genuine, but I am not sure.
Bimart Blackhawk branded ($20) looks genuine, but I am not sure.
Bimart 3 pack currently on sale (embossed "BIMART") is Chinese.
Cabela's 50 cal (embossed "Cabela's") is on my "not a fan" list and is of unknown country of origin.
Any intel to add ?
