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.
