The product photo is an example of one of the worst quality ammo cans from this batch. Any can you purchase will likely be better quality than the photo!

This is a bona fide military surplus 50 Cal M2A1 ammo can! The government was gracious enough to part with a huge number of these things at an auction we recently attended -- not because they’re giving up their habit of storing massive quantities of ammo, but because the cans were a little too well-used for our soldiers’ taste. We assume that at one point a cadet complained to their drill instructor that they didn’t like using anything save for brand new ammo cans, and the drill instructor very politely registered their concern and ordered up a fresh new batch of ammo cans especially for them. In any event, you’re the real winner here, because this leftover ammo can works great!

We separated our newfound trove of used mil-spec ammo cans into two categories: good and fair. This is one of the fair ones. Please expect some minor rusting both inside and out, as well as some dings and bends that add character without sacrificing functionality. This ammo can has seen some action, and is pretty well scuffed and may even have some spray paint on it. If you’re after a versatile ammo storage solution that you won’t feel terrible for damaging yourself, this can is a great way to go. It’s also stellar as a prop for a haunted house or other entertainment venue, and if you’re filming a movie with scenes in a military base or bunker a few of these stacked up in the background will add real authenticity!

This can is made of steel, and is without doubt ready to withstand a lot more abuse than the Armed Forces alone could have subjected it to. Its lid still closes tight to allow its gasket to do its trick, and its handle and bail work as well.

When my cans arrived they still had vacuum on them. So I know they were air tight. No dents. Paint faded is the only way...

I bought 16 50 cal cans. Cleaned and organized my ammo storage just as I hoped it would. Went from bricks, bulk, random rounds boxes to neat 50 cal ammo cans. Nice air tight seal. Touched up minor rust and good as new.

Purchased these cans described as "fair" condition. Other than a few odd splotches of paint they are in excellent condition - all metal & lid seals intact, no dents or dings. Very happy with my purchase.

ALL CANS have working lids. All are 100% functional. I bought 25 and they are perfect to me...some have some scratches and paint on them, but so what. Paint them if that bothers you, the key is that they all work perfectly. Worth every cent.

I ordered and received three cans. All were in fair condition as advertised. They closed and opened with difficulty due to slight bending of the top lid side flaps and had a particularly bad smell to them as if something decaying was stored in them I siliconed the seals and side flaps and cleaned them out. I am not disappointed I bought them, but would seriously think twice about purchasing these again in that condition.

They seem more like Grade 1 than Grade 2- generally perfect with few blemishes and rust spots

These are typical 50-cal ammo cans. sturdy, solid, and they all even have the gaskets to make them waterproof.
A few spots have slight surface rust, and others have some touch-up paint, but all in all, they are what I wanted and at least as good as I expected.
