I like it, but don't mail boxes have to be approved by USPS?

technically, yes, BUT if your mail delivery person does not say anything, who will?

nobody will dare to whack it with a baseball bat,
or shotgun it.

They´ll use a Garand! :-)

From USPS regulation manual.

3.2.2 Custom-Built Mailbox

The local postmaster may approve a curbside mailbox constructed by a customer who, for aesthetic or other reasons, does not want to use an approved manufactured box. The custom-built box must generally meet the same standards as approved manufactured boxes for flag, size, strength, and quality of construction.

So if the local postmaster is ok with it, the carrier will service it.

Here is my usage for 2 old ammo cans.

That is outstanding. What kind of cans are those?

[jkingrph]

Looks like a couple of 20mm cans.

7.62 NATO cans.
Did Telecom work for an inlaw, who was a CATAMS instructor in the USAF. Those were the payment.

I like the mailbox, but I live in Florida and in an area where the postal routes are manned by people with IQ's of less than 80 and they would have a hard time trying to figure out how to open an ammo can. I am thankful that they put my mail in my mail box 50% of the time, the other 50% of the time my neighbors deliver it to me because it was placed in their mail box by the postal person.........It is no longer politically correct to say postman, it is only correct to call them a postal person/worker or a mail/letter carrier according to my local post office. But I might be wrong because I had a very hard time understanding the postmaster, he had not yet mastered the English language, and I might have translated his explanation incorrectly. What a sad world we live in today…
