That handle is used for lifting the can vertically in or out of something.
If you want an ammo can lock, see pic. There are other kinds of ammo can locks but this one doesn't need a hole drilled in the can itself.

It's a handle to hold down while you open the lid, it also holds the factory seal in place

Here is one that will help keep the can waterproof. You can also figure out how to make this for less than the $12 the guy on eBay wants.

Yeah. Bolt, nut, rubber washer, hole.

>>28726916
It's a lock holder

They make ammo can locking fixtures for vehicles.

Awesome company, their band saw table is god tier

>>28726860
It's where the factory seal was/is attached. You can loop some twine or wire through it.

>>28726981
Hello ammo tech.

>>28726860
That is used to tie strong to and hang from trees. WHen camping a soldeir would hang the ammo can high in a tree, above enemy reach, to keep the enemies from capturing ammo in an ambush.

How could that tiny lock stop anyone from opening that can?

>>28726975
I just drilled a hole into the top of mine and put a long lock through it

>>28726860
Carry handle you fucking idiot holy shit. Sure, the security crimp is attached to it, but that's not it's primary purpose. Fuck.

how on earth does that hold the seal in place.

>>28729932
neat

Forgive me for being a dumb fudd but what's the point of locking up an ammo can? Anyone who is gonna steal your ammo would have an easier time just taking the whole can, because that's the whole point of the can, to make it easier to carry ammo.

Just welded this shit onto it and bought a lock. was either too lazy to look online for legit things that go in it.

>>28730973
You loop the seal through the hole and through the handle. Done.

>paying for cans

>>28726860
its normally thought of as a handle for pulling off of a stack but the secondary purpose is a safety to prevent the latch from popping and dropping the contents if it opens upside down in a fall.

>>28726981
this

it's not a "carry handle", it's not a "lock holder", it leverages against the metal piece on the side to open the can.

oh my god this board really is 100% nogunz.

you can go the master lock rout like others have posted. but if you dont want to mutilate your box and find a way to reseal it you can do like i did with a gun cable lock. wrap it around the bar and through the handle hole as many times as you can

Why would you want to lock one of these in the first place?
Anyone wants to steal it it literally has a convenient carry handle for walking off with.

Child safety I guess?

Who are you trying to keep out of there? Just kids? Cause I'm pretty sure anyone else can get through that with a pair of dikes.

I have a question, are the new ammo cans as good as used GI ones?

Cabelas has a great sale recently

New production 50 cal cans for $9
30 cal cans for $7

I got like 6 of each

>>28732581
A battle would involve the side doing anything. Masterlock will be continuing to sell shit locks and bill will be continuing to fuck with them and the idiots doing stupid shit.

>>28731068
Its more to keep kids and nosy people out.

>oh my god this board really is 100% nogunz.

Not every firearm owner uses metal ammocans. For instance, all my shit is plastic.
So eat a bag of dicks. Individually, as if they were eclairs.

>>28730908
It's probably just for legal compliance. Like in CA, you're supposed to keep your ammo in locked containers while going to the range and shit.

>>28735070
This is only kinda true. It has to be in a locked container which the CADOJ agreed a trunk, glovebox, or even a duffel bag can be a locked container.

>>28734114
>dikes
what the fuck
arent those just wire/cable cutters

>>28735913

Diagonal cutters are called dikes for short.

>>28735913
Yes, you cannot cut cable locks with wire cutters.
