Chubbster Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hi all, I'm after the BS paint code for the lighter brown british post war (1960's) .30cal ammo box. As used in ferrets etc.. Any help would be great. Cheers. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Alex I think I have used "Service brown BSC381C 499" on ammo boxes. A close civilian match was "Conker" but can't remember the make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Alex I would just wait & see what others have to say before you rush out & get some mixed. I'm just concerned that you said "lighter brown". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbster Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Clive, You could be right after a little web search of Bs381C 499 I think that's the dark brown that is used on the ammo boxes you see for 7.62, 5.56 & 105mm etc.... I should have posted a picture really to avoid any confusion. I will post one today if I get a chance. Cheers Alex P.s Clive you should have a picture of the .30 box (and the gun linkage). It was my turret you where photographing at Evesham this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Oh I see what you mean. This is your colour. The colour I was referring to was this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
