Yes, we have a lot of people (fire/ems/police) using them for first aid! Another great use! Thank you!

When I was a kid I bought a small can for $0.75 and a large one for $1.25. I still have them over 60 years later.

[@bobbyb7127]

I still have mine I bought in early 70s. I just bought 2 more from Sportsman Guide for $7 each. A little rusty but nice easy project cleaning them up.

There was an older fella in a motor inn who had two rooms filled to the gills just like this in Howes cave NY, on the access road. His son was head of the security detail for Condoleezza Rice. He had the inside for his dad on the big scores, He had everything you could imagine. It was called Bobs bunker. I scored 4 brand new pair of woodland camo cargo pants at 10 bucks a pair. I also got a pair of desert tan boots for 35 bucks brand new. I went back some time later and it was cleared out. He was a good ole guy.

I recently picked up a WW2 side opening 50 caliber ammo box in near perfect condition. On the lid on top it is stamped in ink ( REJECT) After looking it over good, I discovered it has never had a rubber gasket installed in it. No signs of any glue in the area, just nice paint. I recently brought up this idea on a gun forum. How about using 30 caliber ammo cans for GI burial urns. Cans should be from the era the GI served and one could also include service records and some pictures. On the outside could be a brass plaque with the GI's name, rank and time served.

[@richardkluesek4301]

When I ran a mobile tool truck route I used to sell these cans to the mechanics as small tool boxes and continers for delicate diagnostic electronics instruments. Many of them were gun guys too.

[@thedufflebaginc4631]

Yes, the cans are great for tools and equipment! Thank you for sharing!

If you want the lid to be permanent...knock out the pins with a drift punch... Then knock off the insulation of a 5/32 weld rod..drive in,cut off excess

[@anotparticularlynotableguy]

Well, the can isn't empty if it has the paper inside, now is it?

Do this with ammo cans and Tygon and Nalgene bottles... drop in dry ice and let melt. Check with match and when match goes out... seal.

I haven't seen a lot of genuine GI ammo cans, but I can get the new copies any time and sometimes on sale. No leaks so far.

Watch local estate auctions. Lots of pro 2A boomers passing away, leaving ammo cans up for grabs. I bagged 12 such cans last summer for about $30.

[@MegaRiffraff]

Also good for log chains !

I've been buying brand new 50cal ammo cans at Walmart to store certain food items in. The rubber seals on the brand new cans seal out water, oxygen and rodents.

[@bobbyb7127]

I would love to visit your store but I'm in Louisiana. I have some China cans I'm going to test in a bucket of water. Also I wish all those cans came with the note that they are empty. :)

There's a feller on the east coast by the name of Justin Johnson. This man makes 3 string guitars out of ammo cans, shovels, cigar boxes. He's also a very talented musician. Check em out.

I have several 30 & 50 ammo cans and some of them needs some outside cleaning.. by chance for the normal US ammo cans does anybody know the "color" for spray cans? thanks much.

[@thedufflebaginc4631]

Hello! That is a great question. I will have to research that myself, if someone else knows the answer please let us know.

[@anned8634]

the US government cans are also EMP RESISTANT. This is because these cans are also used to ship and store electronic primed or fused devices The Chinese cans are not as they do not have the very fine metal powder in the gaskets.

Does anyone know what the little handle on the side is actually used for. Is it just a carry handle, or does it serve a specific purpose?

If someone pulls the lid off and thinks they broke it, they are obviously not smart enough to own one and are a shining example of our country's education system.

Not at all fireproof, that is not what they are designed for. They are designed to transport and store ammo.

Blackhawk ammo cans are made in china. They are some of the best I have found and the price is good when you catch them on sale.

Cool old man and cool store. Unfortunately, it’s better now to buy ammo candy from harbor freight than from these stores. I know the old man would punch me for that, but it’s true. I’ve always bought ammo cans from surplus stores and half the time the seal wasn’t good but it’s what we had. Harbor freight sells 30 and 50 gallon ammo cans with perfect seals and no imperfections. They’ve been torture tested and they hold up better than used military cans. And, they’re brand new. I do miss having all the cans with the military markings, but it is what it is. Not to mention most surplus stores just ask too k

[@skuttsupreme8351]

Ask too much for the cans now. Many times they want more than the harbor freight cans which is just ridiculous considering the harbor freight cans are brand new and fully functional. Times change.

[@thedufflebaginc4631]

WRONG! The ones at Harbor Freight, Northern Parts, Tractor Supply etc. are made in China!!! The metal isn’t same. The gasket is crap! Not airtight! The Chinese are always in trouble with toxic paint found on baby toys and even dog/cat toys. Lord knows what kind of crappy paint they put on those cans! As I said in my presentation, really nice ones are getting hard to find. Even the ones offered by Sportsman’s Guide are starting to lack in quality. SG is now supplementing their inventory with BLACKHAWK brand ammo cans. Ask them where they are made. Fancy names mean nothing. On another note, thanks for “tuning in!” I welcome comments or questions on any item of Militaria . I appreciate your feedback and subscription!
