Lockable 30 & 50 Cal Metal Ammo Storage Box 9mm - Military & Army Steel Ammo Can for Ammunition Storage - Waterproof Ammo Crate Utility Box

I purchased this for a snack container for my front porch. I have many delivery personnel and contractors who come to the house and I don’t want them having any medical problems when they’re here.I previously had a plastic box with lid that the thug squirrels in the neighborhood chewed through while they were stealing snacks.I wanted a secure stainless steel box that would stop the squirrels in their tracks, bonus points if it had a tight latch.I had been looking for a few weeks when I came across this ammo box. I liked that the measurements would fit the snacks, that it was lockable if I needed that and that the latch was beyond a squirrel’s mental faculties for figuring it out.I watched the video of the guy demoing it in a pool and loved that this box is also waterproof. I was pleasantly surprised that the price wasn’t higher.If at some point I stop doing snacks, this box has endless possibilities besides using for ammunition.I read that the welds were tight as well and this should help to keep the furry, freeloading bandits out of this box. Good luck chewing through it.

My Mother had prepaid her cremation and funeral to be interred next to my Father in their plot. However, the funeral home sold her a beautiful square, wooden urn and a concrete vault to go in the ground that was NOT waterproof. Their suggestion was to buy a more expensive vault but they were not guaranteed waterproof. I measured our wooden urn and I had 1/8" clearance if the Seller's measurement was accurate. IT WORKED! Had room to add mementos and photos. My parents kept their important documents in an Ammunition box my Father brought home from WWII - I wanted to use theirs but it was too small and not water proof. When I told the Family and friends what I had done - they all approved and said my parents would love it because 'my Mother was a 'pistol'" with a big smile on their faces! FYI - you can find waterproof vaults on Amazon and online but they are 'waterproof' because they include a little tube of glue. That wasn't comforting to me. This product is tested and tough.

Lots of competition in ammo boxes. I needed something strong and neat to store my lithium batteries in and this one was perfect. No sticky labels, no cheap paint job, just a well-built, coated and operating box.

Great functionality, easy to apply a lock and good value for the price.

I was initially hesitant to order these ammo cans from an untested seller, as I have read mixed reviews online about people getting products that were not to spec, were damaged, or were simply poor quality.These ammo cans arrived exactly as advertised, and I have been so happy that I doubled my order and got more. Here's what I like:- The seals are in great condition- The boxes are freshly painted and have little to no imperfections- The latch mechanism feels very sturdy and provides a solid closure- The handle is robust and stands up to lifting VERY heavily packed ammo cans (more on this below)- The cans are easily stackable and stand up to a lot of overhead weightI bought the 30 cal ammo cans instead of the 50 because I wanted to keep my ammo in more manageable portions without having the cans getting too heavy, and because I can stack these two deep and two across in my Stack On gun cabinet and they take up exactly half of the space, with enough left over for 4 rifles.The main thing I wanted to know before I bought these was how much ammo they would hold. With loose packed ammo, my experience is roughly as follows:- A little over 500 rounds of .223 / 5.56- About 1000 rounds of pistol ammo, a little more for 9 mm and .40, a little less for .45- About 100 of 12 gauge 2 3/4 inch shotgun shells- I didn't have enough 22 to fill up one can but I would estimate it is over 3000 roundsAn ammo can full of pistol rounds weighs about 30 pounds and is by far the heaviest of all the fully packed cans. Generally I keep these in the bottom of the stack - not because I think the cans won't stand up to the weight, but just so I don't have to lift them up and down.PROTIP: for long-term ammo storage, take your ammo out of the cardboard boxes, which can retain moisture, and throw a desiccant in with the ammo. The ammo cans are airtight and the desiccant will eat up the moisture inside. I use the 40 gram Dry Packs, which have an indicator showing when they've absorbed all the moisture they can -- you then bake them for a few hours to restore them to working condition.

Purchased both the 30-cal and the 50-cal cans and these things are the real deal! Made with top grade metal, all seams are well fitted, and hardware is top-notch. The lock is firmly welded. These are just like the ones we used back in the ARMY. Would highly recommend.

This is honestly a great product for the most part. Well built and everything. Lockability is great. The foam sent is very versatile (far more sent than is strictly necessary). But for a 50 cal box, its not that big. I'm using it for 5.56 pmags and I can't fit that much in it. Increasing the height so pmags could stand up would be a huge improvement in capacity, but as it stands even the biggest size of this wasn't big enough for a few boxes of ammo, 4 pmags, and 2 60-round quadstack mags. Just kind of awkward dimensions for these things.

Best ammo cases I ever purchased
