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.

Got this to safely store ammo that's strictly for home defense prepping; I'm not a hunter or arms-bearing professional. I have kids, and it was hard to find ammo cans that come ready to lock (without having to install some kind of hardware). This came just as promised, and consistent with the various positive reviews already here. The seal seems to be nice & tight, and it's super sturdy. Easy to lock too. It's not super-big (read the measurements/capacity info carefully), but it serves my purposes. Great product!

Great ammo cans! In the past I have ordered used restored X military ammo cans. These turned out to be either worn on the seal area or slightly sprung in the hinge area from abuse. The almost perfect restored ones with locking hardware installed were much more expensive. The Case Club ammo cans are brand new. They do have a small sticker inside the can saying made in China. Overall, a very well made can with a perfect new seal and well installed quality locking hardware. For the price point, these are the only ammo cans I will be purchasing in the future. Great quality for less money.

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!
