Just a friendly little piece of advice. If you load these ammo cans full of ammunition, don’t go bigger than the .50 caliber cans. Years ago I bought 2 .50 caliber ammo cans full of Norinco 7.62 X 39 mm ammunition. It was difficult to carry them a few hundred feet to my vehicle because they were so heavy. Anything much bigger than the .50 caliber cans will require 2 people to carry them.
Thanks for clearing that up for me i didn’t know there were 2 different sized 50 cal ammo cans. I bought 2 fat boys at a gun show, then ordered 2 more 50 cals from Apex and was disappointed when I opened the package and saw how small they looked. Good video sir!👍🏼
Great video sir! I've purchased the fat 50, grade 2 (used) through the 'Amazon' from the Ammo Can Man for $21.12 delivered. I gave found them to be a good value for their storage capacity. Not a bad deal...
Great video...great review! I particularly like the realistic test of how much ammo fit in both....a great perspective. Will be heading to TS this weekend....thanks!
It would be interesting to also compare the 30 cal ammo can. I have a standard M2A1 50 cal ammo can but was thinking about transitioning to using a pair of 30 cal ammo cans. With one being for my preferred sidearm a few magazines and some cleaning items, and the other for magazines, ammo, and a speed loader. To consolidate things a bit and minimize the amount of weight that I'm toting. I'm sure that if I only carried the sidearm 30 cal it would be significantly lighter than trying to tote everything all at once.
Appreciate the size comparison. Looking to build some 'saddle bags' for my bike. If I've got the room for the larger one on the bike theres no reason not to use it. Are the knock off cans from TSC still avaliable? I dont want the rural king or cabelas logo embossed on them. These ones look nice being clean.
The small box looks USGI to me, not Chinese made, how do I know that, inside the lid there’s a large rectangular dimple, the Chinese’s is shorter in length.
I wouldn't expect them to hold up to actual military use, but if you're just fine then the store valuable items and keep moisture out of those items, these should do fine.
