Redneck Convent Tan .50 Caliber Ammunition Flip Top Lockable Storage Box - Waterproof Metal Military Ammo Can Container - Airtight Latching Dry Box Bullet Case Steel Field Box

Hey guys, first off, this ammo box is as good as any other at least upon initial inspection. They use some low-odor paint as mine had virtually no paint odor when opening. Anyway, it's an ammo box, nuff said. Good price yada yada. I've included a series of pictures with how you can keep the lid from sliding out, the hinges on these units are all identical, the lid is designed to easily come off. For those of us who want to keep the lid on all the time, and want a mechanical fastening, this'll work. 1. 1-1/4" #6-32 screw: Any form of 1-1/4" #6-32 screw will work, I happen to have a bag of 2mm button head socket cap screws laying around. You could probably use a 1-1/2" it'll just be a bit tighter clearance to the adjacent hinge. 2. #6-32 nylon lock nut: You'll want a lock nut for this because you won't be torquing the nut against the hinge, and if you do it'll just work itself loose in time. 3. 1/8" pin punch: Any suitable means of punching the pin out will work, but this will be easiest. 4. Hammer First punch out the pin on one end. Then mate the lid to the body and slide your screw through, there will be 1/4" or so sticking out, thread on the nut, then use pliers to tighten it down. Done, lid can't fall off, and the screw diameter won't cause any binding.

Great little box and sturdy to last a lifetime

Very sturdy and also a very good investment considering the cost of the ammunition in each ammo can is 15-20X the price of the can. Make sure you order the “new and unused” cans. Also, understand that the “tan” cans are lighter in color than actual FDE (flat dark earth). The cans have a good solid rubber gasket, sturdy hinge, and strong closing clasp. The two tan cans I ordered were individually packed in bubble wrap and arrived as advertised. Ordered late on a Friday evening and arrived on Sunday morning with Amazon Prime Delivery. I will definitely order some more...as soon as I can get more ammo.

Works good, seals good. I use it for 12ga ammo.

I have various ammo cans, usually ones that come free with bulk ammo purchases. This one seems to be every bit as sturdy and solid as any of them. I mean, it’s a metal ammo can. Not much you can mess up there. The one issue that knocks off a star for me is that the lid is not actually attached at the hinges. I’ve never seen that before. Most cans swing open and the hinges are permanent, but this one has hinges that let the lid come completely off. Might be a bonus for some people depending on what they like. It was a drawback for me.

As suggested by our local funeral home, we found this item cheaper on Amazon than in their showroom. They were also kind to provide us with two of the Marine Corp. emblems with which to decorate the urn. The magnetism worked well!

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent 'build' quality of this product line. The lock, and hinges all work easily and feel very sturdy. The cover can be removed for (cleaning, etc.) by sliding the hinge apart while the can is open. Most importantly: the rubber gasket (seal) mates-up perfectly so that the contents will remain dry. (This is critical for ammunition, seeds, or other moisture-sensitive items)! This price-point may not be the cheapest you'll find on the planet for this item, but the finish and mechanical working of these ammo boxes are worth it if you're looking for quality.

The width at the bottom of the can measures very close to what the army surplus measure which is 5 5/8.durability seems to be the same the rubber gasket on the lid that seals the can seems to be made out of a different rubber material it seems just as durable however it is a softer rubber than the surplus military cans seems as though it'll last just as long time will tell. And the concern that people have about the lids detaching they're made to detach from the bottom portion of the can and the lids do not just spring off when you open the can you can open the can it is tension-type meaning that when you release the latch it does spring or can of bounce open but the lid doesn't fall off of the hinges like some people are suggesting unless you don't have it on level ground.so far I see nothing wrong with this can it looks like it will hold up very well and do everything the surplus cans do. Not to mention you don't have to worry about Rust and debris inside your cans that you have to clean out. We'll update this review of anything changes but so far five out of five. He's also work great with the MTM case Gard system which you can find online at MTM case-gard.com.these metal cans measure very close and width to the army surplus cans which MTM is made to fit with also the height of these cans is probably around a quarter of an inch taller than the military surplus cans that I have which doesn't really matter unless you have limited height in terms of storage where you place your cans.! Buy with confidence. No issues here.
