Okay, let's get the insults out of the way, yes I am a "godless filthy, good for nothing noguns yurapeean" I do however, like milsurp.Gas masks, moldy old tents from the late 80's. You get it. But. Mostly camping gear as it would be stoopidly expensive to get into firearms for me right now...last time I did a big order, I may have had a few too many. And also got this.So the question is, what the hell do I do with it? If I use it as a tacklebox the normies will call the police. I'm waffling, basically>you have a 50.cal ammo can>but no gunWhat do you do with it.
Also, if anyone know more about the markings, I'd be happy to hear it
Heard a popular use is to turn them into tent stoves, already got one. Or use them for self combustible chemicals, like boiled linseed oil rags
>>63063255Fill it half full of oil and use it for quenching your smaller pieces. It works great because you can seal it up to keep crap out when you're not using it.
>>63063257That's a 308 can, not a 50. Second row is powder, charge, bullet type, and weight. Storage conditions, lot number, assembly information is all pretty self explanatory.
>>63063255>So the question is, what the hell do I do with it?Jam it up your ass and make this thread on /diy/ or something
>>63063423>That's a 308 canwell, clearly says 7.62x51...
>>63063447okay, so you have nothing of value to add to the discussion, cool, thanks for posting
>>63063502I have like 25 ammo cans and they’re all full of ammo, because that’s what ammo cans are for Next question
>>63063255Use it as a lunchbox when you go to work
>>63063255It's a 7.62 can for regular bullets from what I see, unlike one ofbthe fancy ones for tracer, ap etc.
>>63063423>>63063473308 is 7.62 more or less, almost identical rounds although not 100% interchangable between all weapons
>>63063502Just filter the furfag if you don't want to see him kvetching about everything
>>63063683>literally doesn't know the difference between 50cal and 7.62x51>is posting on 4chan on the weapons boardIf anything this dude should be banned, it's off topic and he's actually retarded
not particularly rare so you don't have to feel bad for fucking around with it. Paint it with stencils and turn it into a speaker.https://www.instructables.com/Ammo-Can-BlueTooth-Boom-Box/
>>63063255I use them to store ammo I know I won't use for a long time, or random stuff that needs to stay dry in my shitty shed. Throw a pack of desiccant inside too.Anyway I recommend you get into guns. If you can't, you're either a lazy fatass or a retard which the system was designed to keep out of guns.t. fellow yuropoor
>>63063691>fucks dogsYou belong in jail
>>63063255Some of mine are used as toolboxes/storage for "messy" gun cleaning supplies. One holds burnishing rags for linseed oil finishing. Image related, you can get (or make)trays to drop in the can.I also used to use one as a tackle box, but it was not as flexible as a bag (both in material and use). Some of the small Plano tackle boxes drop right in.
>>63063893Proof?
>>63063419this. 120mm mortar cases like this pic are absolutely brilliant for quench tanks for long knives and swords, if you're into blacksmithing/bladesmithing. I have a series of them around my workshop.7.62 or .50 cans are great for small volumes like parks' 50 or Ryeoil 50 for knives up to about 11 inches. the seal means its less likely to get contaminants in it. I must admit, as an artyfarty design type, I've long wanted to get a 7.62 can, and use a lasercutter, and make an insert with 18mm dia. holes,for storing all my illustration and design markers, then repaint the olive drab, and then re-stencil with new text with "LETRASET MRKRS ASSTD", because the can would be just the right size to store them vertically.
>>63063255I use the so-called "Fat 50" cans, which are really for the M249, as toolboxes for outdoor equipment--the square shape makes them very easy to mount, often just by drilling some holes and bolting them to something. I've got one on my wood chipper (trailer), tractor, backhoe, and big riding mower. They're inexpensive, tough, weatherproof, big enough to hold work gloves, recovery strap, jumper cables, can of ether and some basic tools.
>>63063261Store cleaners and paint in it. I have some nail polish and paint I store in mine for paint filling lettering, painting iron sights, making things high vis/uv glow. All the caps are tight as can be and PHEW when you open that can the whole thing is filled with vapors. Makes me wonder how bad storing gun cleaners and nail polish etc is when it's under the sink, in the bathroom, in your bedroom, etc. Tons of stuff offgases you'd never think would. However, that also means don't store plastic in with that kind of stuff or it might degrade.>tackleboxProbably good for all the stinky bait whether fishing or trapping. But be warned as they're stupidly air tight so upon opening it you'll be releasing all that stink at once. You can also get one without stickers and text on it and spraypaint it some silly color if you think people are going to be that sensitive OMG SCARY over it.
