M2A1 Ammo Can – Hinge Lock
A small and simple upgrade for the classic M2A1 ammunition can.
One of the annoying little issues with these cans is that the lid can sometimes slide sideways out of the hinge and completely detach from the box. This small insert acts as a mechanical stop, preventing the hinge from moving far enough for the lid to disengage.
The part is designed to fit into the existing slot/opening in the lid, between the hinge sections. Once installed, it stays in place with just a small drop of glue.
No modification to the original ammo can is required — simply insert the part into the existing opening, add a tiny amount of glue, and let it set.

I designed this after experiencing the problem myself. It's one of those tiny modifications that you don't really notice until you need it — and then you're glad it's there. 🙂
