Some tips:
>Inspect the box for rust. Select one with minimal amouts.
>Clean thouroughly to remove any gunpowder residue.
>Ensure it has a good inner seal.
>Check for water tightness by immersing in water overnight.
>Paint over any ammo reference on the box.
>Label the outside of the box.

This hide adds a bit of a twist to the usual ammo box hide. Do NOT post any spoilers giving anything away. Such logs will be deleted.
