They are not that rare and its not a box its more like a bracket, very easy to reproduce. You'll have a harder time finding a nice Thompson replica to put in it. Gary Hebding has some, www.halftracks.com

Hello,
There is a Thompson box, and a Thompson bracket that were used. I have both types. The bracket type was made mostly for the M2 M4 series halftracks to be bolted to the ammo storage boxes inside the vehicle. The box was used on the M16 series and has a lid which opens and has several compartment to hold something like 21 XX mags (i think, going by memory as i am at work). The front of the box has brackets to hold 1 gun. It can also be removed from the vehicle quiclkly by lifting two latches. They are around as the above post mentioned. They usually run about 300 or more. Roland
