I have 3 of these that I picked up after a mortar shoot when I was in the Marine reserve back in the mid-90's. The mortar guys had 'em all in a pile and we're going to haul them to the dump, but grunts don't let anything go to waste.
I have one in the garage that is filled with sunflower seeds for my wife's bird feeders. The chipmunks had a field day with the 4 holes drilled on the front and back until I simply covered the holes with some heavy-duty duct tape.
For something more permanent - and someone with more skill - I guess you could weld the holes shut (?). Not sure.
I think the ones with the seal are for the 60mm mortar rounds. These are for 81mm, three rounds to a can, if memory serves. They also came with foam inserts for the three projectiles which were glued to the interior, but are easily removed.
Yea, kinda noticed that the next day, being a truck driver and was on a long one, and tired, didn't pay too close attention to detail. My ammo can has the seal, and on the posting the OP has up, the seller stated some of the 81's might have the foam still in them. Need to check out the stores in my area now.
When I was in the Navy in the early 80s, I tried to get there over size electronic storage boxes off the ship, NO GO ON THAT, big sizes and water proof and serious lock downs, perfect for ice chest.
Was able to get there boots, heavy winter wear and self inflating vest though.
And Thank You for your service also,:usa2:
