Ammo can hold downs

[RockRanger]

Just made these. Bolt the lower piece down and then the ammo can locks in with no holes in the can and no tools needed to get them out. I plan to add tabs for a lock to go through to lock the latch shut on the next set. Plan to make some for the larger cans but was testing the idea on the smaller ones. I have not installed them yet in a rig but they do feel fairly sturdy.

Very Nice

What is the thickness of the metal?

Are you bolting these in or welding them?

Once I get them finalized I can make a few extra to sell. With work though it will be a month or two.

I was just gong to drill holes and bolt it down with some pan head machine screws. No reason you couldn't weld it down if you wanted to though.

Very cool. I have a few ammo boxes I intend to use in the bed but never got to the point of considering how I'd secure them. I think I know now.

Nice work. That setup would be perfect for me. I just picked up a shotgun mount an AR mount with electronic locks out of one of our old patrol cars. I'm mounting them in the cargo area. Ive been trying to figure out a good way to secure spare rounds. If you come up with a locking version for the larger ammo can I'd buy at least two in a second.
