Product Overview
Used military surplus has a different appeal from new storage equipment: it offers useful function along with the character of prior service. Rothco GI .30 & .50 Caliber Ammo Cans combine that surplus history with straightforward metal storage for ammunition or survival supplies, making them useful for organizing equipment at home and carrying it where you need it.
A carry handle that folds out of the way
The collapsible handle gives you a dedicated grip for moving the can, then folds down when you put it away. That keeps the handle from remaining upright during storage and makes the can convenient to carry between your storage area, vehicle, and shooting location. For survival supplies, the same arrangement lets you keep a group of essentials together in one portable container.
A hinged lid provides access to the contents, while a tension clamp holds it closed during transport. It is a straightforward closure for keeping stored items contained as you move the can. This combination of a folding handle and clamped lid is especially useful when you want storage that can travel with your equipment rather than stay on a shelf.
What to expect from surplus condition
These are used active-duty surplus cans, so condition varies from one example to another. That is an important consideration if you are buying for a collection or prefer a uniform appearance. The yellow stenciled text appears on only one side of the metal can.

Select the size option that suits your storage needs. For shooters, surplus collectors, or anyone organizing survival supplies, the key purchasing distinction is that these are previously used service containers rather than new cans.
