- Harbor Freight now has a metal Military Style ammo can that is a direct copy of the .50 cal M2A1 ammo can used by the US Military. It is made in China, but the quality appears to be better than comparable ammo cans sold by other mass retailers.
Price before coupon: $15.99. With 20% coupon= $12.79
I have these too... good stuff. When i was in the marines we were using 50 cal ammo from WWII. The metal can is loaded with ammo. And formaldehyde. Then that is sealed in a foil type wrapper with more formaldehyde... then packed in a wooden crate. We had to open everything outside the aircraft because if we opened them once in flight it would make people not used to the smell sick. Sometimes i would open one if someone was onboard i didnt like... lol... so thats the smell for old ones God Bless
+Probe Team99 Ha. Great story, thanks for sharing.
They have them at Costco and BJ. They are all good quality even if made in China.
If you get the Harbor Freight sales ad you can pick those cans up for $9.99
I bought one a few days ago ..It is a nice hefty can with a great seal on the lid and the color is the dark green that I like ..I had a cheapo brand that was a lighter green and it was flimsy made
I agree. There are many cans that are almost too flimsy to use. Thanks for commenting.
Bought one a few weeks ago for intentions of making a gun car safe..I did build the safe and 100 percent satisfied..so much I purchased another one today...and will keep purchasing more as long as they have them..
+Randy Nester 👍
Thank you for sharing the video,I have one as a small tool box at work with the plastic dividers inside and I love it,is just like the military one but a fracture of the price...
Thanks for the comments.
An ammo can made in China to US Military specification is just a less expensive ammo can. I would encourage shooters to buy as many as they need (and can afford) [$20-$30 for used mil. spec. cans or $5 -$16 for new Chinese cans]
here the used actual us ones are cheaper than chinesium
Is it seal water proof
A lot of these cans are dust proof and rain proof. Some start to lose it with a beating train or submersion. Are those still air tight enough that a silica packet will last?
Easy to test your new cans. Just throw a paper towel inside and submerge it in water.
Picked some up for $10 with a coupon.
I just picked up on today for $10 with a super coupon.
+Douglas Martin 👍
I saw a pallet of them at Costco last week. I took it for granted they were Wing Wang junk so I didn't even look at them. I may go back now for another look. 👍
I would. These are the best of the 'Made in China' brand i've seen, so I would hit up a Harbor Freight if you have one close.
These are really good quality ammo cans and I plan on getting more from harbor freight. Don't buy the ones at Walmart they are junk and I had one break after opening it several times.
Thanks for sharing
I was at Costo yesterday. They had the .50 and the .30 inside for $14.99. No brainer as I bought 3.
351WINCHESTER nice!
I'm sold on this!
Need something to keep my stash in, so that would-be thieves of my snacks would keep away.
I'll say "I keep my gun in there, don't go snooping in it!"
Seems legit.
They'd be wise not to open it.
Thodio 50cal A-box vs jbl boombox. Please
A can is. A can what is important is how you use it.........
How do you like that 22 ammo? Im thinking of buying somebfor my 10/22. Thanks for the review on the ammo can, ill biy a few if i can find a coupon👍👍
+mikesvacation gear, gun& cigar reviews the federal or the cci? I really like the cci, but either work well with the factory mags on the 1022.
KevCentral thanks, keep the great videos coming👍👍
Walmart has some for like 10$
They work great. I don’t know what this dude is talking about flimsy. Mine are all beat up and they are still going strong.
I agree, Walmart's ain't flimsy! Probably same Chinese manufacturer. I bought 4 from Wally World, lock mechanisms off eBay, and a set of 4 keyed alike locks from WW, have nice locable water and air tight boxes for less than $20/can!
I just bought one of the Walmart Cans and had high hopes on getting one of these Harbor Freight cans once I saw this video but then when I went to Harbor freights site and saw it was $3 more....the color green on it isn't that important to me....they both look like very nice cans but $3 is $3!
Frank ! Never pay the sticker price at Harbor Freight. There are coupon codes always available. I wouldn't pay $3 more either.
Never thought of that? thank you, I will keep an eye out for one!
I might go to the army navy store for mine. They sell them dirt cheap
Nice. Can't beat the real deal.
The label sure is a pain in the butt to remove.
This only real problem with this one, besides the fact that it's made in China, is that the sticker on the side held on by some kind of freaking super glue. Took me 30 minutes to get it off with a razor and some Goo Gone.
A heat gun or hair dryer on the hottest/highest setting held close to the sticker for just a few moments makes it super easy to peel the sticker away in one simple easy motion, all in one piece, with no glue residue left behind. But without a heat source, trying to remove these stickers is a real PITA.
I bought 3. They won't remain stable when stacked.
don stromberg I have over 15lbs inside each of mine, so maybe that makes the difference. I haven't tried to stack them empty or with little weight inside.
Academy has them for 14 and way better
Walmart sells this exact same high quality ammo can (without that big white sticker) for about $12.89 no coupon needed
Dude, the sticker peels right off....not too complicated.
The smell from the USA can is real rubber not synthetic in the China can.
That smell is the cancerous chemicals
Those cans won't stack.
don stromberg I have a few of these intermixed with my military surplus cans and they stack just fine. When did you experience them not stacking?
FFS, quit buying chinese made products of any kind!
Thanks for the suggestion - that you typed on a computer or phone made in China 🙄
@@KevCentral Smartass!
@STS My pc is made in TAIWAN, it is an ASUS.
@STS I went to Harbor Freight, guess what? these Ammo Cans are of excellent quality! same quality as the US made ones by Clean Ammo Can Man. check reviews before buying most anything. G'Day!
my harbor freight cans say they are made in Vietnam
What else can you use these cans for beside bullets?
Anything
