Ammo cans, or Craft Boxes, you decide.

They look exactly like the ammo boxes that are sold at Harbor Freight. The HF ones are dark gray in color however. I use them for ammo and for general storage of stuff. They stack easily. The turquoise ones look kinda' pussy though.

·You just reminded me - been meaning to post about these since several weeks back.
Same box and same price it looks like except located in the hardware section with the different label and name you see here:
(btw, are the Harbor Freight boxes made in china, like almost every single thing in that store is?)

Do these craft boxes seem to also have a tray insert?

@Chef Duane that's exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah, I usually use my superpower x-ray vision but it tends to melt the box.

And THAT is why metal is better than plastic.
Not that it stopped me from buying 4 of them last night.

No doubt. But the plastic ones are so much less expensive. I also use them for misc storage in the garage.

And THAT is why plastic is better than metal. Doesn’t rust, either.
I have a mixture. My US and Russian type surplus caliber ammo is in metal, my mixture of “other” milsurp is in plastic. The handgun ammo is the same way, except it’s range fodder in plastic, “real” defensive ammo in metal. Except the 10 mm, which is in the pink plastic. Which one would I grab if I actually really was running for the hills? The metal cans full of 5.56, 308, and X39, the .40 and 9 mm, and the pink ones. If I have time, I’ll grab the big plastic crate of .22 as well.
Obviously, I’m taking the truck. If I had to walk...nope. I’m in rear guard mode by that point. Go on, leave me boys, I’ll hold them off as long as I can.

I won't argue your point, but I will add that that "turquoise" is suitable for Key West Camo duty; bet you can't see it on Duck Chaser.

Boat in the photo above. You can't shoot at ducks in Florida if your boat is moving or if the duck is in the water, but you can chase them.
