1 of 3

Feed the Pig! Up for sale is a fantastic, genuine Vietnam War-era US Military M19A1 ammunition can. This classic steel box features incredibly well-preserved original yellow stenciling from 1968. It originally held 200 rounds of 7.62mm linked ammunition for the iconic M60 machine gun. The stencils clearly detail the 4-to-1 Ball/Tracer mix and identify the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant (TW 68). The can is used but in great, fully functional condition with its rubber gasket intact and a beautiful authentic patina.

Description

Heavy metal history with a story to tell.

Era & Usage: The M19A1 ammo can is an American icon. This specific can was packed during the height of the Vietnam War in 1968, destined for infantry squads armed with "The Pig" (M60) or armor crews with the M73 coaxial machine gun.
Original Stencils: The yellow markings on this can are exceptionally crisp. It reads "200 CARTRIDGES 7.62MM, M13" and denotes the combat load: "1 M62 - 4 M80" (1 Tracer to 4 Ball rounds). The "TW 68" lot codes confirm 1968 production at the Twin Cities plant. The lid proudly states "FOR M. G. M60-M73".
Construction & Condition: Built from rugged steel with a removable lid and a heavy-duty latch. The rubber gasket is still present to keep moisture out. It shows honest field wear, scratches, and minor dents—the perfect "salty" look without being rusted out.
