I was in a thrift store today and found this watertight can...it had these "cylinders" inside so I figure I could use it for something...and the thing that made me buy it was the price...$14.95

Ammo cans RAWK for storage in the truck, and the bigger ones can even make nice center consoles. That one is a size I haven't seen before, seems kinda tall and skinny.

I found some drawers in my shed when I bought this house. they are about 3 feet deep 8 or 10" wide and 8 or 10" deep. I put 4 in the truck, just like pull out drawers. Ive got several more but I dont think I need 8 of them lol.
Im the worst carpenter ever but it is functional

My grandfather worked at Aberdeen Proving Grounds blowing things up for a living. He brought home all kinds of ammo boxes,gun tape,'duds'....just the thing for a healthy growing boy in the 70s

Those are for mortars. 81mm mortar cartridges.
Where are those fired from? a tube, a tank?
Dropped into a tube. They have their own propellant.
Anyone ever found an ammo can the right size for a K5 center console? I keep looking, but always too skinny or too short.
I will like at Mikes again and see what they got...they get Gov'ment surplus all the time
Not my truck, but from a member here whose name I didn't record. Believe that's the 30mm box (not the 30cal which is much smaller.)
You can google to get the dimensions; for instance I found this site http://www.armysurplusworld.com/display.asp?subDepartmentID=118 I haven't actually bought from them. I have purchased buy from http://ammocanman.com which was great, though I couldn't find that particular size in a cursory search.

I think I did find that one once, but the thing is that it opens along that diagonal visible in the pic, so you can't really fill it up with stuff like a normal console. Unless that one is different than I remember.
Eh? The diagonal is just a brace, at least on the ones I got, and the lid is flat like all the others. These aren't hinged on one end, both ends pop off. They look like this without the lid.

Cool. Yeah, I found a mortar thing or something that was the right size but opened along a diagonal.
