The MTM Case-Gard Military Style .30 Caliber Ammo Can – Tall (Dark Earth) is a lightweight, heavy-duty polypropylene storage container designed as an alternative to traditional steel US military .30 caliber surplus cans. It provides passive, lockable, and water-resistant storage for boxed factory rounds, loose bulk ammunition, reloading components, and field gear. Weighing approximately 0.42 kg (0.93 lbs) empty, this American-made can features an integrated tongue-and-groove O-ring seal to protect contents against dust and moisture during vehicle transit, range trips, and shed storage.

Key Features

• High-Impact Polypropylene Construction: Molded from rugged plastic that resists impact without the weight or rust potential of surplus steel cans.
• Tongue-and-Groove O-Ring Seal: Seals out dust, rain, and humidity to keep contents dry during outdoor transport and storage.
• Mechanical Latch & Dual Padlock Tabs: Secured by a heavy-duty mechanical latch and molded double padlock tabs, satisfying standard transit lockability requirements when user-supplied padlocks are fitted.
• Molded Stacking Ridges: Built-in top and bottom nesting ridges allow multiple cans to stack securely on shelving or in vehicles without sliding.
