USGI M2A2 can size, commonly used for 5.56, .223, or .50 cal loose ammo

These are the same size as .50 cal cans, but are not originally intended for that use, they are labeled as 5.56mm. These cans are repurposed military surplus with 5.56mm markings.

Our photos accurately represent the overall condition of these ammo cans — we did not cherry-pick the best units for photos. What you see is a true reflection of the lot, with the majority of cans in similar condition as shown. While minor cosmetic differences like scratches, dings, surface rust, residue, are normal, all cans are fully functional with clean interiors, watertight gaskets, and smooth-operating hinges. We stand behind the functionality and integrity of every can we ship.

We lubricate all hinges BEFORE IT LEAVES with Tri-Flow® Superior Lubricant, a premium PTFE-based oil that penetrates deep into hinge joints, displaces moisture, and leaves a long-lasting protective coating. Unlike basic oils, Tri-Flow reduces friction, prevents rust, and keeps the hinges operating smoothly for years, making it the superior choice for military ammo cans exposed to tough environments.
