Case Club 50 Cal Ammo Can with Pre-Installed Locking Hardware

In order to comply with California laws, when transporting ammo and pistols, they have to be in locked containers and not readily accessible to the owner. To comply with this as I make my next trip through California, I needed to have strong sturdy lockable boxes. The Case Club New .50 Cal Ammo Can with Pre-Installed Locking Hardware , made in China, is a good substitute for the military grade ammo can. It is all metal, but not as strong and rigid as the military surplus cans. The side walls flex when squeezed with one hand. I can't do this with my military can. It is lighter in weight than the military cans. It has the typical handle on top, seems to be stackable (divits), but the most important attribute is the presence of the bolt with the hole at the end that accepts a lock. My military can does not have this. Do not get me wrong. This can is sturdy enough for all of your civilian needs. The lock is not included so I also purchased the combination lock recommended with it on AMAZON. The lock fits well and is easy to use. As to price, it is more expensive than the used cans one can get at a surplus store but competes favorably with the other new cans posted on AMAZON, andit fits my needs in terms of California law. I bought two of them, one for ammo and one for pistols. I plan to purchase a few more for storage of other valuables.

I originally purchased a Sheffield "Field" box and wanted a locking box. It's made of plastic and wasn't as sturdy as I was hoping. Returned it and bought this Case Club Ammo Can. Night and day difference and this is a very sturdy, well-built ammo box. It has a durable locking mechanism and I also bought a 4-digit Master combination lock to go with it (Master Lock 643D Set Your Own Combination Padlock). Excellent choice if you're looking for a well-made, sturdy ammo box.

Perfect for storing ammo or anything else! Easily stackable as well. Will be buying more for my art supplies as well!

Solid and safe! Very strong construction, heavy (that's a good thing) and well sealed. I use the case as a camera enclosure and it's endured a snow storm and a winter thunderstorm. The locking hardware is strong, holds a 1/4 inch shackle lock. Update: I've had 6 of these containers in the field for well over a year. They sit outside, through rain, sleet, snow, ice - everything. Never any water leakage, after so much use they are finally showing some very slight paint chipping at the lock area. I'd give these things six stars if it was possible. As for the locks - don't get a cheap ass lock! I use only ABUS Titanium locks with 1/4" shaft and they also have spent over a year exposed to the elements without any visible wear. Like any lock they don't like very cold temps (like <10) and ice, but work fine if you apply some de-icer or heat for a minute or so with a butane torch.

Nice sturdy box to store you gun supplies. The box is difficult to close due to the locking component on the box aligning with the hole in the handle. Hopefully it will loosen up over time. My biggest issue, the "Made in China" sticker inside. We need more stuff manufactured in the US!
