MTM Case-Gard AC45 Ammo Can - 45 ACP, Forest Green, Durable Polypropylene Storage Box

The MTM Case-Gard AC45 ammo can is a no-fuss, lightweight alternative to surplus military ammunition storage. If you're stocking 45 ACP or need a compact, portable range box that won't wreck your shoulder on the drive to the range, this polypropylene design delivers rugged durability without the weight penalty of steel. Built to handle a full 500-round case of 45 ACP or equivalent shotshell loads, it's the practical choice for shooters who value portability and weather protection over a collector's nostalgia.

MTM engineered this can around their proven tongue-and-groove O-ring seal system, which keeps moisture out without requiring submersion-level waterproofing—exactly what you need for typical range days and casual storage. The dual-latch mechanism locks firmly and resists accidental opening, while the heavy-duty handle tolerates a 20-pound load, so you're not fighting overstuffed gear on your way to the line. Molded stacking ridges let you organize multiple cans without them sliding around, and the forest green finish blends into field gear without screaming "ammo box."

This isn't a fancy safe; it's honest equipment. The all-plastic construction sidesteps the rust and sharp edges that make military surplus cans a pain to handle, and the dual padlock tabs give you real security if you're storing at a range locker or in shared space. Made in the USA from tough polypropylene, it'll take the bumps and heat cycles that come with regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ammunition fits in the MTM AC45 ammo can?

The AC45 is sized to hold one complete 500-round case of 45 ACP ammunition. It will also accommodate 4 boxes of 3" 12 gauge shotshells if you're cross-loading. For other calibers or quantities, check the case or box dimensions against the interior space (8.2" W × 5.6" L × 6.0" H).

Is this ammo can waterproof?

The MTM AC45 features a water-resistant O-ring seal that keeps moisture out during normal storage and transport. However, it is not designed for submersion; it won't survive being dunked or exposed to sustained heavy rain without some water eventually seeping in. For dry storage, vehicle transport, and range bag duty, it performs well.

Can I stack multiple MTM AC45 cans?

Yes. The cans have molded-in stacking ridges on the sides that allow safe stacking without them sliding or shifting. This makes organization easier if you're building an ammo storage setup.

What's the difference between this plastic ammo can and a steel surplus can?

The MTM AC45 is built from polypropylene plastic, making it significantly lighter and easier to carry than traditional steel military surplus cans. You won't deal with sharp edges or rust concerns, and the handle is rated for 20 pounds of weight. The trade-off is durability in extreme abuse—the plastic is tougher than it sounds, but steel is more dent-resistant.
