How to bust open an ammo can from the back
An overview with pictures

    When I buy these cool military surplus ammo cans, I like to open them from the back so I can keep the can looking new. I hang them in the gun room. usually they are marked differently so I've collected quite a few types and countries. Usually for the AK47, AK74 or the Mosin Nagant

Would you like the small pictures to get larger?
Let us know, use the feedback form to request larger pictures.

It's a lot more work to load all the large pictures.
We are happy to do it if they are requested, but if not we leave them small to save time
