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

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.

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!

This is by far the strangest review that I've had to write! I'm giving the product listing 1 star due to page being inaccurate and not properly detailing all the available option!!! I'm sure the actual NEW Solid Tactical cans are 5 star worthy. BUT, the item description says "Solid Tactical 50 Cal Ammo Can – New Steel Ammo Box Military & Army M2A1". Also says that every can comes with a pack of desiccant. This seems to me that they are NEW, never USED ammo cans and they come with desiccant! When I ordered, there was an option for 6 ammo cans, just one green or just one black. When I selected the 6 ammo can option, none of the details changed. I selected add to cart and it never gave me other buying options. When I checked out it showed me and estimated arrival window about 2 weeks away and that they would be coming from AMMOCANMAN. I received the ammo cans in about half of the the estimated time! I noticed that they were not NEW and never USED ammo cans as advertised! When I looked at the included packing sheet it showed the same blurb that I mentioned earlier but said Condition: USED and Sub Condition: Very Good. Apparently the 6 can option was actually for used cans not the NEW Solid Tactical cans! As far as the condition of the ammo cans I received... They are some of the BEST USED ammo cans I've seen over 20 plus years but they didn't come with desiccant. Fortunately I already have some that I can use. I also found out that AMMOCANMAN has GREAT customer service!!! They emailed me the day the package arrived and said to please contact them with any concerns. I called them about my confusion about the NEW vs USED and were very nice and helpful. I will definitely be ordering from AMMOCANMAN again in the future and will likely just order directly from their website to avoid any future confusion!

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.

These are a very good ammo box compared to walmart and other places, but I dont know if its us made or in poland. Their are only 3 manufacturers that supply the us military who makes them picatinny arsenal and 2 in poland from what nsn (nato stock number) had listed. It does not have their stamping below the m2a1. Federal ammunition has the m19a1 for their 420 rounds of m193 or m855 from lake city army ammunition plant. I do not know where these are made.

Update 8/19/2020:I ordered another 3 cans because you can never have enough! Again brand new, came in straight with no scratches or dents, however they weren't individually packaged like before. Not a big deal, but i do see the extra packaging providing additional protection.To date, this vendor still remains on top of my list for ammo cans! Highly recommended.I was pleasantly surprised when i received the packages. I ordered three of them, each one came into its own packaging, brand new and shiny! I will definitely buy more since these ammo cans you can use in many ways! Value for money only 4 stars since they are not cheap but i do understand given the fact that they are well packaged and brand new.
