Original .50 cal. Ammunition Case

Original used ammunition box in M2A1 format

This original ammunition box is a used military-surplus item in the classic M2A1 format, commonly referred to as a .50 Cal ammunition box. It is made from steel and features a hinged lid with a carrying handle and a substantial side latch.

Its robust construction makes the box suitable for storing tools, spare parts, outdoor equipment and other smaller items. It can also be used as decoration or as the basis for a creative project.

Original military-surplus item

We purchase these original used ammunition boxes in larger batches. Their appearance, colour, markings and condition therefore vary from box to box and between the different batches we receive.

Scratches, dents, wear, patches of rust, various military markings and areas of spray paint may be present. Spray paint may have been used to cover previous contents, transport or identification markings. The product images are therefore for guidance only and show one example of how a box may appear.

Markings may refer to other ammunition types

The term .50 Cal refers here to the box’s M2A1 format and not necessarily to the markings found on the individual box. This type of container has been used to transport and store various kinds of ammunition.

The original text on the box may therefore refer to 5.56 or other calibres. It is not possible to select a particular ammunition description, military marking or paint finish.

External and internal dimensions

External dimensions: approximately 30 × 18 × 15 cm.
Internal dimensions: approximately 27.9 × 17.5 × 14.9 cm.

The measurements are stated as length × height × width and are approximate. Minor variations may occur between individual boxes and depending on where the measurements are taken. If the dimensions are essential for a specific project, we recommend contacting us before ordering.

Important information about condition

This is an original used item and not a newly manufactured reproduction. It is therefore not possible to select a particular patina or cosmetic condition. The surface, paint, latch and any fitted seal may be affected by previous use. The box is not sold as guaranteed waterproof or airtight.
