MTM Case-Gard AC50C40 50 Cal Ammo Can - Black Polypropylene, 7.4" x 13.5" x 8.5", 25 lbs

The MTM Case-Gard AC50C40 50 caliber ammo can is a lightweight, durable alternative to military surplus steel cans for shooters who move ammo to and from the range regularly. Built from rugged polypropylene plastic instead of steel, this 50 cal ammo storage box weighs just 25 lbs and delivers the same bulk capacity as its heavier counterparts—making it genuinely practical for transport without the fatigue. Whether you're stocking rifle rounds, pistol cartridges, or shotgun shells, this can keeps your ammunition organized, protected, and ready to go.

MTM engineered the AC50C40 with a tongue-and-groove O-ring seal system that resists moisture and dust, so your ammo stays dry in basements, garages, safes, or field storage. The heavy-duty dual-latch design locks tight and won't pop open accidentally, while the molded-in stacking ridges let you organize multiple cans without slippage. Double padlock tabs secure the lid against theft or unwanted access. The interior holds a genuine 50-caliber can's worth of ammunition—1,200 rounds of 5.56, 2,200 of 9mm, 1,750 of .40 S&W, 1,300 of .45 ACP, 640 of .308, or 250 rounds of 12-gauge—so capacity won't leave you short.

Black polypropylene construction means no rust, no corrosion, and no maintenance. The ergonomic handles are built into the design, so you can grab and move your ammo without hunting for a place to grip. This is the ammo can for shooters who value lightweight durability and practical storage without the bulk or weight of surplus metal.
