Yeah, check the gasket in the lid, too.

Martin-who-works-with-me and I picked up ten of these today. We rejected three because of lid gaskets.

I picked up 5 @ 2.99; they are smallish ".30 cal" versions; adequate for the purpose I intend.

Thanks for the link/coupon & timely heads up.

HF had about a 1/2 dozen similar designs & various suppliers; their 'standard Army ammo boxes" were metal but all thinner gauge that .gov version AND they were $15.99!

Last week a local guy was downsizing his barely used large Cabelas version; those for $5 were a good deal as well but just a 1/2" tall for where I wanted to put them. The HF will serve that location.

I was able to order 10 on line.

My local store had a bunch. I rejected 7 for hinge and gasket issues but still got five good ones. Thanks!
