This crate is perfect for any occasion. The gift set comes with at least one genuine historic surplus items along with a few extras to sweeten the pot. The fully functional surplus ammo crates are in excellent condition and are moisture tight. We have added our famous authentic WWII Abatis, which can hold most liquor or wine bottles. These ammo crates can be personalized on the handle for a small additional fee (see Personalize under the search menu).

M2A2 AMMO CRATE ".50CAL"
ERA: Mid-2010's
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
SPECS: Most of the M2A2 cans are labeled 5.56mm M855 or other caliber ammunition. The lettering on the ammo cans may vary or not visible after being "demilitarized". The hinges and seals are in good working order. These cans would be considered Grade 2 cans. The M2A2 is known for having an improved latch assembly that prevents the gasket from getting crushed, which improves its ability to seal out moisture, unlike its predecessor the M2A1. The M2A2 can bear several hundred pounds.

WEIGHT: 5.2 lbs.
*we do our best to preserve all writing but writing and finish can vary depending on the condition and what paint was used to “demilitarize” the can.
ABATIS
Pure physics! This bottle caddy has been repurposed from an authentic WWII .50 Caliber Crate. The name Abatis comes from a defensive obstacle formed by felled trees with sharpened branches facing the enemy. They balance perfectly with wine or spirit bottles from 750ml-1.75 liter. The hand rubbed finish preserves the original integrity of the piece. This makes the perfect gift for someone with limited counter space. The simplistic design will enhance any decor.
