Overview of the Plano 1712 Field .50 Cal Ammo Can Medium ammo storage box | PLA1712P
Compact, Rugged Storage for the Range and Beyond
The Plano 1712 Field .50 Cal Ammo Can Medium ammo storage box (PLA1712P) keeps your ammunition and gear protected without eating up space. It is modeled after classic military ammo cans, but built in thick-walled polymer for lighter carry and easy stacking. The images show a matte black case with a molded carry handle and a strong snap-down latch, ready for regular range days or vehicle storage.
Water-Resistant Protection You Can Count On
A tongue-and-groove lid helps resist casual moisture, dust, and dirt. This box does not use an O-ring seal, so it is best for everyday protection rather than full waterproof submersion. Use it to keep ammo and essentials cleaner, drier, and ready to perform when you open the lid.
A Versatile Field Box for Real Work
Plano sized the interior around .50 caliber storage, and it also fits boxes of 5.56mm ammunition. It typically holds about 6 to 8 boxes, depending on packaging. It also works as a grab-and-go catchall for tools, electronics, and small accessories in the garage, basement, or work shed.
