M2A1 / M2A2 50 Cal Size Ammo Cans

The M2A1 / M2A2 50 Cal Size Ammo Cans are military-grade storage containers originally designed to transport ammunition for U.S. weapon systems such as the M107 .50 Cal rifle and M2 machine guns. Constructed to Department of Defense specifications, these steel cans are engineered for durability, weather resistance, and long-term use in the harshest environments. Whether you’re organizing reloading components, storing surplus rounds, or prepping for the range, these ammo cans offer trusted protection in a compact, stackable footprint.

Both M2A1 and M2A2 versions share the same outer dimensions, collapsible carry handle, and waterproof rubber gasket lining for secure sealing. The M2A2 version adds a reinforced latch with a welded metal bracket, designed to protect the gasket from compression when stacking multiple loaded cans. This small but critical improvement makes the M2A2 ideal for heavy-duty storage scenarios or long-term stacking without compromising the seal’s integrity.

The 50 cal size is favored not just by the military but also by shooters, reloaders, and outdoor enthusiasts. It comfortably holds a wide range of ammunition and gear—perfect for organizing calibers like 5.56, 9mm, 12 gauge, or even linked .50 BMG. The rugged olive drab finish gives it a classic, field-proven look, while the durable steel body ensures contents remain protected from moisture, dust, and impact.

Important!

Before MAKING your purchase, please carefully review the information below.

Ammo cans are U.S. Military Surplus items and are sold as AS-IS, in a USED condition.  As a USED / MIL SURPLUS item, they may contain surface rust, blemishes, scrapes, gouges, dents, stenciling, paint markings, adhesive labels, and other cosmetic imperfections.  We do not guarantee any of our cans will be free from these conditions, however, it is our goal to deliver you the best can possible.

Stencil marks will vary from lot to lot, and may include markings such as "9mm", "5.56", "Shotgun", "Ball", "Blank," and others.  We make no guarantee the markings will match our product photos.

During our inspection and make-ready process, we discard any non-functional cans, wipe off any excess surface rust, and assign one of three grades. All cans are 100% functional, and grades are used to rate their cosmetic condition.

Grade A - Excellent Condition.  It should be as close to new as possible for a surplus item!  It may contain slight signs of handling/use.
Grade B - Good Condition.  It may contain increased signs of wear or slight surface rust, especially in the pivot points.
Grade C - Acceptable Condition.  May contain more blemishes, paint, surface rust, adhesive/stickers, etc.  Excellent for those customers wanting to recondition their cans.
