New Plano Synthetic Ammo Can Inspired by Timeless Wartime Classic
OutdoorHub 07.24.14
To the sportsman and military veteran alike, it’s iconic. They line the workbenches of countless man-caves, containing everything from mismatched nuts and bolts to actual ammunition. Yes, the original post-World War II, .50 caliber M2A1 ammo can is a coveted classic. Returned with war heroes; purchased game-worn at surplus stores; or found brand spanking new at sporting goods merchants – the familiar metal olive drab box is time-tested.
There are, however, two major complications with the military issued tin box. For one, they’re not always readily available for purchase. And two, they’re pretty darn bulky, built with consideration for storing ammo, certainly not the task of transportation.
For these reasons, Plano introduces its version of the Ammo Can. It, like the original, is predicated on maximizing cargo space and offering infallible protection of its contents.
Plano’s Ammo Can generously houses six boxes of 2-3/4” or 3” shotgun shells. Pack it with a hunt’s worth of rifle or pistol ammo and there’s still ample room for ear protection, shooting glasses, calls, handwear or whatever accessories you take to the field or shooting range.
The trustworthy Ammo Can offers heavy-duty features on the outside as well. A beefy handle fits comfortably in your paw while a robust latch keeps the lid at bay and prevents dust and moisture from entering.
