[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Federal Brown Box XM193 Question

Posted: 3/31/2008 7:41:22 AM EDT

As I contemplate revictualizing yesterday's complement of magazines I again ponder the perforations near the top of boxes of Federal XM193. How does one take advantage of what appears to be a packaging feature meant to facilitate getting the ammo out?

I would like to hear this answer also, I usually use a knife and cut through the glue on the top flaps of the box. It would be helpful if there was an easier way to open them.

I bust'm open on the corner of the ammo can like a roll of pennies !

Grab a big handful and cram em in the mags and blast away.

Incisors will expedite the removal of rounds from packaging.

Damn I thought the same thing with mine. Just like the plastic insert, if it comes in a brown box, why not use a cardboard insert?

I use a knife, too, but I can't help thinking the perforations are there for more than just esthetic appeal.

Once upon a time, someone posted pictues that if you remove the box along the perforations, you can slide a stripper clip over the ten rounds and have a quickly loaded stripper clip.
