MTM 50 Caliber Ammo Storage Can
MTM ammo cans are a great way to store bulk or boxed ammo. Its all plastic design is lighter in weight than the 50 caliber US Military Surplus Ammo Can. Transferring ammo to and from the range, just became a little easier! Ideal for ammo storage.

Sturdy and latches firmly. Seems to have a good seal. The size is just right - large enough to hold plenty of ammo but not so big that it gets too heavy to deal with when full of ammo.

Well built cans with quality you can feel. Great value for stackable ammo storage IMO. Would recommend to a friend!

Love these ammo cans. 50cal size is expensive but these work great and are stackable. Seem to have a decent seal and like the double clip locking lid.

Nicely designed. The plastic is sturdy and the locking mechanism is tight. Holds a good deal of boxed ammo.

Super resistente y te ofrece seguridad al sujetarlo del maneral. Vale la pena ya que la calidad superó el precio

Very nice and heavy duty ammo can.I use this box to hold 1000 rounds or AR15 ammo and it does the job quite well with a little space left over. At first I was unsure how durable this box would be but found it very heavy duty. It also includes a gasket in the lid so that when you close the box it becomes water proof. I have stacked these ammo boxes 4 high and they top and bottom corners of the case enable them to almost lock into each other to help them from sliding around. There is also a place to install 2 padlocks on the box in the front on the right and left side. Not too sure why one would lock a plastic box because a criminal would rather take it than empty it, maybe to keep little hands a little bit at bay. The handle has a nice and easy grip to it. You hand will not get sore carrying this box a little distance.PROS:- Heavy Duty plastic- Holds ample amounts of ammo or other items- Has rubber gasket seal on the bottom side of the lid in a grooved track to prevent water penetration- Strong double snapping clasp on front- Strong hinge system- Will accept 2 padlocks on front right/left- Comfortable handle that can take the weight of the contents- Top and bottom has notches/raise areas that allows slip-proof stacking- Have stacked 4 filled cans without damage (better to limit at 3 as 4 starts to feel unstable)CONS:- Item price appears to have gone up with popularity

I have to mention that this MTM ammo can is very good quality and a great size. The side walls are fairly straight which gives decent usable internal dimensions. I once bought a Plano at a similar size and the side walls were so weak that the top was a struggle to line up when you closed it, it had too much flex and also less internal usable dimensions. I do not see that being an issue at all with this new MTM!Looking at the carry handle, it is the only point of weakness. The way it was designed it clicks (locks) itself to the lid from the side and my feeling is with enough weight and a jolt it might come out. To explain, If you look at the picture you will see the handle can pivot only 90 degrees from the recessed area that it nests in and into the upright position. Well maybe 95 degrees if your lucky... Point being when you use the carry handle as your walking the case is being thrown side to side a little and considering the carry handle wont go past the 90-95 degree mark it jams against the lid. The way the design is the pressure created when it jams pushes the handle in the direction that could push it out of the click/lock. I have 22 pounds in this case right now and with the leverage and weight I wondered how close it might have been to letting go. I shook the case side to side with the weight in it and it was ok and never let go so this is not an issue handle feels sturdy and it means this MTM is built very well. It just could have been designed better to be completely solid and not putting leverage pressures in the areas that could cause a failure in more extreme conditions. Still a 5 star product for sure!

I bought the Green MTM .50 cal ammo can to store the large number of rounds of ammo for my Ruger Security Six revolver. It did a great job, storing approximately 700 rounds of .38 Special, .38 Special + P, and .357 Magnum ammo in their factory boxes. The things I like the best about this product are it's exceptional strength (no bowing or flexing of the plastic when loaded), it's low weight and lower cost (compared to milspec metal .50 cal ammo cans), it's strong, secure dual-locking latch (you can't lock the milspec metal ammo cans), and it's very efficient O-Ring sealing capability. I like it's performance so well that I will probably purchase the Black MTM .50 cal ammo can when it is back in stock on Amazon.com. That way, I can store my .38 Special and .38 Special + P ammo in this Green ammo can and store my .357 Magnum ammo in the Black ammo can, to make it easier to get to the specific ammo I want to use. I believe these MTM .50 cal ammo cans will store as much .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammo as I'll likely need in the future safely and securely, and keep it nice and dry with the help of a silica gel packet in each ammo can. I just found some .38 special and .357 magnum ammo can decals that I can put on the front and sides of the cans to help my color-blind friends go to the correct ammo can for the ammo they need. I LOVE THEM !!!

I have three of these 50 cal plastic cans. My oldest MTM can is perhaps 4 years old. I personally prefer metal cans, but these do the same job without rusting. I have found that the MTM plastic can, can hold up to 30 lbs before the top starts to give a little, gaps forming when lifted. In one can I have 8 boxes of 50 count 9 mm Luger rounds, and 4 boxes of 50 count 40 S&W. The total weight was just under 28 lbs. There is still room for a few more boxes of shells on top, but it feels comfortable not being over-stuffed. Even full I can still find room for a sizable container of desiccant. In another can I have all .22 LR rounds, so the weight isn't a concern at all. The third can holds an assortment of shotgun shells with room for cleaning supplies, yet still half the weight of my pistol ammo, perhaps 15 lbs. I had read some reviews stating that these cans didn't transport well when loaded. I speak from personal experience that I have yet to have a problem and I do move them around frequently. I have carried the heaviest can approximately 1000 yards, down a hiking trail, to an open range on multiple occasions, and the can still operates perfectly. My expectations of the waterproofing ability is that the can seals when not under a carry load, and keeps rain out of the can while in the field. These MTM cans meet my expectations, and for the price I certainly cannot complain.

First, these are made in the USA so anytime you can buy a great quality product that supports a company in the US, that's something you may want to consider. I'm very impressed with the quality. The can is sturdy and well built. The handle is nice and easy to hold. Has a solid, comfortable feel to the handle and there is no wobble either. You have the feeling this can will handle pretty heavy loads. The can itself seals up very nice and the latches have a nice solid sound and feel when you latch them. The product came exactly as described with no flaws or shipping issues.The ammo can is advertised as a 50 caliber ammo can but it's useful for storing any sort of ammo or other gear that you want. The inside dimensions of the can are 5.8"(L) x 11"(W) x 7.2"(H). The top of the can is stackable and I intend to buy a couple more of these cans soon. I've owned the metal, original 50 cal military cans but these are much nicer. And they won't rust like metal ones.There is also a double padlock option on these so you can lock them on both sides. The o-ring seal is nice and feels like it would do a decent job of holding water out although it states water resistant only.Basically it looks and feels like it should cost more. A quality product with nice features like stackable, double padlock, o-ring seal, sturdy handle, and thick wall plastic construction. All made in the USA. What's not to like.
