Case Club 50 Cal Ammo Can with Pre-Installed Locking Hardware

Solid and safe! Very strong construction, heavy (that's a good thing) and well sealed. I use the case as a camera enclosure and it's endured a snow storm and a winter thunderstorm. The locking hardware is strong, holds a 1/4 inch shackle lock.Update: I've had 6 of these containers in the field for well over a year. They sit outside, through rain, sleet, snow, ice - everything. Never any water leakage, after so much use they are finally showing some very slight paint chipping at the lock area. I'd give these things six stars if it was possible. As for the locks - don't get a cheap ass lock! I use only ABUS Titanium locks with 1/4" shaft and they also have spent over a year exposed to the elements without any visible wear. Like any lock they don't like very cold temps (like <10) and ice, but work fine if you apply some de-icer or heat for a minute or so with a butane torch.

In order to comply with California laws, when transporting ammo and pistols, they have to be in locked containers and not readily accessible to the owner. To comply with this as I make my next trip through California, I needed to have strong sturdy lockable boxes. The  Case Club New .50 Cal Ammo Can with Pre-Installed Locking Hardware , made in China, is a good substitute for the military grade ammo can. It is all metal, but not as strong and rigid as the military surplus cans. The side walls flex when squeezed with one hand. I can't do this with my military can. It is lighter in weight than the military cans. It has the typical handle on top, seems to be stackable (divits), but the most important attribute is the presence of the bolt with the hole at the end that accepts a lock. My military can does not have this. Do not get me wrong. This can is sturdy enough for all of your civilian needs. The lock is not included so I also purchased the combination lock recommended with it on AMAZON. The lock fits well and is easy to use. As to price, it is more expensive than the used cans one can get at a surplus store but competes favorably with the other new cans posted on AMAZON, andit fits my needs in terms of California law. I bought two of them, one for ammo and one for pistols. I plan to purchase a few more for storage of other valuables. Case Club New .50 Cal Ammo Can with Pre-Installed Locking Hardware

Great ammo cans! In the past I have ordered used restored X military ammo cans. These turned out to be either worn on the seal area or slightly sprung in the hinge area from abuse. The almost perfect restored ones with locking hardware installed were much more expensive. The Case Club ammo cans are brand new. They do have a small sticker inside the can saying made in China. Overall, a very well made can with a perfect new seal and well installed quality locking hardware. For the price point, these are the only ammo cans I will be purchasing in the future. Great quality for less money.

Bought several of these to store random items. All so far came in perfectly fine condition, no blemishes, no dents, hardware locks installed well and arrived quickly. I buy them individually since they ship free because they fulfill the minimum $25 threshold for free shipping (at the time of this review post) and they come in a nice custom sized cardboard box.

I received the Case ammo can with locking today. It feels and looks sturdy enough but it has two flaws that some other reviewers mentioned. One, the locking hardware is not quite centered and the opening for a lock seems a tad narrow. And two, I don't like having the name of the manufacturer on anything I buy. I will be painting over that. Other wise I like the can.
