Don't need and but always looking and pricing .
Wal mart has them,on the bottom of the can is a sticker [MADE IN CHINA]
the real ones can be gotten by web search and delivery.
A few years back I found a guy in M N with the REAL ONES [name SLIPS ME]I bought fifty for around five bucks each on that quantity.
They all were dirty,and some had some sand inside

Does Costco have a free day with no membership needed?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have a few options now. I've been looking for an excuse to stop at the new Rural King in Hartland. Guess I got one now.

Academy has ammo cans on sale right now for $9.99 with free shipping. That is pretty hard to beat.

The last time I bought any, it was 8 full years ago. We went to National Gun Day on the Sunday. Got there kind of early (like before the show opened)and found a guy in the back who still had most of his pallet full, intact. His $12 price quickly dropped to half of that. Better still my oldest son was along. He traded his drivers license to the vendor for the use of his push cart. All I had to do was pay up, then as my son was hauling the first load to the van, I was getting the second load ready. Its how I got a basement wall covered 6 high. Still half empty, and I don't care.


Unhappy ammo seeker

Costco does have a good deal on metal ammo cans you get two in the deal. Harbor Freight has deals on them from time to time as well...

Cheapest I've seen them. I have 10 on the way. No Academy Sports in MI so no sales tax either!

Picked up four pairs for $14.99 $18.99 each after work tonight

EDIT: just saw my receipt. I misremembered and paid the same price as synthplayer.

Just got this email:

$4.95 + shipping for surplus .50 cal cans.

https://www.keepshooting.com/5...6f2d&mc_eid=[UNIQID]
Not sure how much to ship.

Could be a good deal.

Great price. I checked it out and they limit you to two per order and shipping on two to Michigan was $11 so comes out to the same price as Academy.

I do like the "original" ones but since I already ordered the Academy ones I hope I'm set for a while.

Just checked my Walmart cans against the other cans I have. The Walmart cans stack atop what I believe to be The Real Deal, and the "real" cans stack atop some of the Walmart cans properly. But the real can I tested wobbles a bit atop the latest Walmart can.

How anybody can screw up something this trivially easy is beyond me.

$7.95 each at ATG, limit of three:

https://www.ammunitiontogo.com...al-ammo-can-new-m2a1

Shipping for three to Davenport IA was $14.50, so for just three Academy Sports ($10 with free shipping) is a better deal.
