MY EARS HELP ME GOD

when buying a ammo can the first thing to check for is if they are not bent, if the seal is in good shape ,,,,you shouldnt need to apply any type of lubes. I have shotgun ammo that is over 20 years old and have never stored it in a ammo can ...it shoots just fine. a dry area is what is needed most.

Never even occured to me that the seal should be lubricated.

since your can is only from 2006 it should seal fine for a while with out it. They submerge them in water after there packed to see if they sealed right. The person packing it is suppose to check the seal before using it. If by chance who ever DR is didn't do there job it might of been a problem but looks fine to me... But if you feel the need to do it go for it..

@floridafyme they make o-ring grease that wont damage the rubber seals

@theinfedel Yes it will.

@TheMunchKinney good advice thanks for the tip...i'll start doing that to mine

Great suggestion. I tried using motorcycle chain lube because it's formulated to maintain O-rings specifically.

i used cooking oil on my seal seems to work just great!
wont petrolium jelly destroy the seal in the can long term?

I tend to use silicon gel instead of petrolium jelly which can rot some seals.
