US GI 60MM AMMO CAN (PA124) USED

The US GI PA-124 60mm Ammo Can is authentic American military surplus — a heavy-duty steel storage container originally issued to hold 60mm mortar rounds. Standing tall and narrow rather than in the familiar squat profile of a .50 cal can, the PA-124 offers a serious volume of protected, weatherproof storage in a footprint that tucks neatly against a wall, into a truck bed, or onto a garage shelf. For dealers, this is a repeat-buy staple: preppers, reloaders, hunters, and collectors can never seem to own enough real GI ammo cans, and the tall PA-124 stands out from the more common sizes on the shelf.

Built from stamped steel with a powder-coated Olive Drab finish, the can features a full-length removable lid secured by double latches on both ends — a design that lets the shooter or storekeeper drop the whole lid off for easy loading of long items, rather than fighting a hinged flap. A continuous rubber gasket runs the perimeter of the lid, sealing out moisture, dust, and insects for long-term storage of ammunition, powder, primers, documents, electronics, or anything else that needs to stay dry. A folding steel carry handle sits on top for one-hand transport.

Ideal End-User Applications

• Bulk ammunition storage — the tall interior easily swallows hundreds of rounds of centerfire rifle or pistol ammo (roughly 840 rounds of 5.56 depending on packaging)
• Long-term dry storage for reloading components, black powder, and primers
• Faraday-style storage for electronics, radios, and sensitive gear
• Prepper caches, tornado/hurricane document safes, and vehicle emergency kits
• Range boxes, tool cans, and rugged utility storage in the shop or garage
• Militaria collections, reenactor displays, and man-cave decor

Condition

This is genuine US military surplus in used condition. Cans have seen honest field service and will show the expected character of real-deal issue gear — scuffs, scratches, paint rubs, minor dents, faded stenciling, and hardware patina. Latches, gasket, and structural integrity remain sound and serviceable. Each can is unique; markings and wear patterns vary from unit to unit, which is part of the authentic surplus appeal that customers can't get from a new-production storage box.

A strong, high-margin add-on for shops selling ammunition, reloading supplies, hunting gear, tactical accessories, or emergency preparedness kits — and a proven impulse buy at the register for collectors and militaria enthusiasts.
