A lock adapter for an ammunition can having a clamp lever with an aperture includes
a rod element received through the aperture and mounted to a side of the can. The
rod element incorporates a relieved portion on an end opposite the side of the
can and has a length and diameter sized in combination with the relieved portion
for clearance of the aperture through an angular displacement of the clamp lever
for opening the can. A hole substantially perpendicular to an axis of the rod receives
a padlock. A bolt received through a drilled hole in the side of the can engages
a tapped bore in the rod. A Bellville washer is placed on the bolt between the
side of the can and the head of the bolt. The Bellville washer includes a sealing
gasket adjacent the side of the can to seal the bolt and bolt hole preventing moisture
from entering the can.
