Identify this ammo can

JnRockwall

Guys says he is selling a 50 cal and a 30 cal can. Doesn't look like a .30 can to me, looks like a .50 cal and one bigger.

What is usually found in that bigger can?

Thanks

The smaller can is a 5.56/.223 can so I would say the bigger can is a 30 cal can.

The larger one is a SAW can.

Seller has multiple auctions going with the same description and same pics, could be their stock picture or they could have gotten the description wrong.

The larger can carries a couple SAW drums of linked 5.56. The smaller can as stenciled on it is for 840 rds of 5.56, and is the same size as a .50 cal can.

I've bought several of those larger ones at gun shows where they were labled "fat 50s".

I cannot see the top but it looks like an 800 rd M249 SAW Can. It holds 4x 200 rd plastic M249 Linked ammo drums.

The can on the right is a M2A1 50 cal can. It will hold 100 rds of fifty cal but is used for other types of ammo. The can on the left I don't know. Common name of 30 cal can is for the smaller than fifty cal can that holds 200 rds of 7.62X51 also known as M1A1.
