Pack of 2 - Ammo Can U.S. Military Surplus AA16(Stamped) 9mm Frangible (Stencil) Grade 3

• Item: Steel military ammunition can, olive drab, hinged lid with latch
• Can manufacturer and can model: NOT MARKED - no maker's name, model or part number appears anywhere on these cans
• Stencilled contents marking, as worn: DODIC AN16 / AN16, 1000 CARTRIDGES, 9MM FRANGIBLE. The stencils on this pair are worn and the code reads AN16 in places; the DoD code for this round is AA16.
• What DODIC AA16 means: it is a Department of Defense Identification Code for the ammunition, not a can designation. AA16 is "CTG, 9MM, FRANGIBLE, MK254 MOD 0", NSN 1305-01-442-8717.
• Lot numbers stencilled: WMA21E100-031 and WMA23K101-031

• Interior stamps, verbatim and unidentified: SASM, R.D.2, 21
• Construction: Steel

Spec Basis: verified 2026-09-16 against this record's own photographs. Every marking above is transcribed from the cans themselves. The DODIC AA16 definition is from published US DoD ammunition identification data. These are empty cans; the stencilled cartridge markings describe what they were packed with, not what is in them.

CORRECTIONS - MOST OF THE PREVIOUS ENTRY WAS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE CANS:

• "Designation: AA16 (9mm size)" was wrong in kind. AA16 is the ammunition's DODIC, not a can size or can model. The cans carry no model designation at all. The record model field (FID 57) reads "AA16 (9MM)", which puts that same DODIC in a model field.
• "Manufacturer: U.S. Military / Southwest Contracting and Fabrication" - neither name appears on the cans. The record manufacturer field (FID 56) reads Southwest Contracting & Fabrication; nothing in the photographs confirms or contradicts it, and the stencilled contract numbers are the only trace of origin present.
• "Exterior dimensions (each, per record): approximately 12 in L x 12 in W x 8 in H" was taken out - "per record" means our own handling figures, which are not a factory specification.
• "Closure: ... rubber gasket seal", "Seal: Airtight and water-resistant" were taken out. No gasket is visible in the photographs and no seal performance has been tested or is published for an unidentified can.
• "Construction: Heavy-gauge steel" was reduced to steel; the gauge is not marked and has not been measured.
• A "Quantity: Pack of 2 cans" line was taken out - quantity does not belong in this field.

NOTE FOR A HUMAN: this record and record 17821 carried a byte-identical Factory Info entry, and they are near-duplicate records of the same item at two different prices and two different grades. Both also have an empty warehouse location (FID 241). Neither point is a Factory Info matter, but both were visible from here and are worth someone's attention.
