Solid Tactical 50 Cal Ammo Can – New Steel Ammo Box Military & Army M2A1 for Long-Term Waterproof Ammunition & Valuables Storage

I have purchased 7 of these now over the past couple of years. I could get them cheaper but the quality of these make them worth the price to me. I can cram 1000 .223/.556 rounds along with a silica gel moisture absorber with ease.Updated 5-7-16 received most recent order of these and they are not brand new as in the past. They still serve my purpose but I don't feel that they are worth $29 each with a couple dents, faded paint and surface rust. One had dried grass clippings inside. I deducted one star only because I will order one more time in the future and review again

My father landed on the beach at Normandy and fought his way across Europe on foot. Dad served in the US Army through The TET Offensive in Vietnam. Always a husband and father first, he was a kind man who never raised his hand or voice to my mother or his children. We always loved and respected him. He had great love for our country and the United States Army. He often joked that he was so Army that when he cut himself he bled OD green. Dad passed recently and it came to me that the only vessel suitable for this brave and highly decorated soldier had to be "Government Issue". I have an expert painted standing by to stencil Dads name and dates on this 50 cal ammo can. What I needed was the best Military spec product I could find. Solid Tactical not only delivered, they followed up to make sur it was right. I will be honored to present dads remains at his full military service this Spring. It will be professionally stenciled and clear coated. I will be proud to present this unique vessel at ceremony at The Vererans Memorial. Thank you Solid Tactical!In memory of MSGT William Rhodes US ARMY, 1925-2015.Love you Dad!

My father was a 27 year Marine Sniper and recently passed away. After retiring from the USMC in 1972 and for the next 35 years, he would reload ammunition as a hobby; in fact, the entire basement was his reloading room. I purchased this Ammo Can for my father as his Cremation Urn since I thought it was the perfect symbol, and represented who he was. I could not be more pleased with this Ammo Can; it is worth more to me than the most expensive Urn.

This was a great solution for us but not for Ammo. We needed a box to keep chargers and cables secure so that anyone that needed to could charge their electronic devices. We cut 3 small slits on each side of the box added a lock and bolted it to a cart. We having had a problem with any of the cables or charges being misplaced.The box itself is made very well. The hinges and such are smooth and the latch operates very well.I'd purchase this again from this vendor.

I just received one each of a .30 cal and a .50 cal. ammo can today (which was a pretty fast turnaround). Both came painted a much darker color than these pictures.....more of the old school olive green rather than olive drab. They appear to be identical to GI ammo cans. There were no brand stickers on either one. Other than that, the cans are in good shape and seem robust enough, and are pretty much what you see in the product pictures. The lids were stuck pretty fast on their seals when I first unlatched and opened the boxes, but the insides were dry and clean, and both cans are rust free. Both have an intact rubber seal, which seems to be coated with some kind of talc preservative. My next task will be to find out how many rounds of .308, 5.56, 9mm, and .45 ACP each can will hold, and then I'll order as many of either size as I need to reorganize my ammo storage. I can see other uses for them too. I don't know if these prices are competitive with other providers or mil-surp dealers, but they seem fair enough for what you get.I have attached a photo of the smaller can, containing exactly 360 rounds of .308 Winchester 150 grain boat tail soft points.

While the construction is solid, it seems a little shoddy or at least rushed. Welds are not as neat as older cans I have, and far too much excess paint to peel off. No I am not a welder but I do have other older cans to compare this with. Kind of thought something that cost $3o+ would be better than the cans I can get at a surplus store for 15 or 20.However as some people noted, I had NO rust in my can, and it opens and closes without issue. After being open for almost two days, the can still has a Very strong paint smell.While completely usable, and my issues with the can are probably not the vendors fault, I will probably not buy from them again.

I bought this to store the ammunition for my new AK-47. The can arrived earlier than I expected. It looks great, is solidly constructed and holds 500 rounds of 7.62x39 with no problem. The desiccant packs are a nice added touch as well. I shoot a lot and tend to buy my ammo in bulk. The next time I need an ammo can I'll absolutely be ordering another one of these. Oh and people buying these for bulk ammunition purposes might want to invest in quantity of ziplock quart sized bags. I find they save space and add an extra layer of protection against for the bullets.

I was happy overall with the product. Holds the 400 or so rounds of 9mm ammo that I have fine. Feels like strong build quality and worked okay with the ammo can lock I purchased. A minor note was the inside of the can had some extra paint that seemed like over-spray in it which if aesthetics are hyper-important to you may annoy you.The one flaw that I had to fix was that the seal was not put in properly when I purchased it. An area that extended a little past one corner of the lid had the seal bulging out beyond the crimped metal, the solution for this was me putting a smooth metal shim behind the crimp and pushing it out, then twisting and getting the seal into the lid myself, then re-crimping the metal.After that, the can worked and sealed fine. I gave it 5 stars still because I know it was just a QC slip up
