Frequently Asked Questions

What type of ammo cans are best for storing firearm magazines?

Standard military surplus ammo cans, like the .50 caliber size and the larger 'Fat 50' or SAW cans, are excellent choices. They are durable, often waterproof, and readily available, providing secure and organized storage for both pistol and rifle magazines.

How many Glock 9mm magazines fit in a .50 caliber ammo can?

A standard .50 caliber ammo can can fit approximately 11 Glock 9mm magazines stacked sideways in a single row. Multiple rows can be stacked within the can for higher-density storage.

What is the best ammo can for AR-15 magazines?

The larger 'Fat 50' or SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) ammo cans are ideal for AR-15 magazines. These cans are dimensionally larger and can typically hold between 30 to 32 standard 30-round AR-15 magazines.

Do USGI and PMAG AR-15 magazines stack differently in ammo cans?

Yes, PMAGs often require different stacking methods, like 'head-to-toe', compared to USGI metal magazines. This is due to the wider floor plates on PMAGs, which can affect how many fit in a given space.
