Winchester Commemorative WWII Victory Series Ammunition, NEW for 2019

EAST ALTON, Ill., January 18, 2019—Winchester pays honor to the anniversary of World War II with its commemorative Victory Series ammunition, specifically packaged in collector’s cartons and wood boxes. All ammunition as part of the series will also include special head stamps and period correct load specifications.

Winchester offerings in 2019:

• .30 Carbine (M1 Carbine) available June 2019
• 12-Gauge, (1897 Trench Gun) available November 2019

12-gauge offering utilize period correct brass hulls. During WWII, paper hulls commonly used for shotgun shells were inadequate in wet and rugged conditions on the battlefield. In response, Winchester provided full-length brass cased buckshot shells for use in clearing trenches and close fighting. Due to the advent of plastics, these shells have not been commercially available from Winchester for decades, but remain a very eye-catching piece of wartime history.

Similarly, the .30 Carbine is loaded to the same specs that paratroopers carried while jumping into Normandy on D-Day and elsewhere throughout the war.

Each product will retail for approximately $25-$30 per box.
