1 Fair Condition Surplus Mil-Spec 50 Cal M2A1 Green Ammo Can

See the picture of that beautiful, green, and lovingly used ammo can? That’s what we call “fair condition” -- not “good condition,” and by no stretch of the imagination “new.” We chose that particular specimen as an example of the most abused ammo can that “fair condition” encompasses. Whatever cans we send you will nearly certainly be in better shape, though!

This is the genuine article: a military surplus M2A1 ammo can, designed to hold 50 BMG rounds but perfectly capable of storing and transporting anything else. We seriously doubt that this can ever held 410 Bore ammo during its stint in the Army, but now in its retirement it would be more than happy to.

This can is still totally functional. Its steel sides repel trauma and contaminants, its rubber gasket locks up tight to seal out corroding moisture, and its handle handles securely. Nevertheless, this can has character. “Character” is a retailer’s euphemism for “damage,” which in this can may take the form of dings, bends, rust, scuffs, and paint. We say that’s a selling point. Ever bought something new only to scratch it immediately afterward? Well, soldiers have already generously attended to the scratching process for you, so you won’t have to worry about sullying something pristine.
