Where to Buy Ammo Cans
Where do you guys like to get your ammo cans from?

I'm looking for mil-surp metal ones. They don't need to be new, but with good seals and no rusted out.

Thanks,

Don

I think Midway has a sale going on now with them. Bought from them before and they are good to go with new seals.

Believe it or not, Costco near me had a pallet of them. Packaged as one .50 cal with one .30 cal inside for around $20.

Might try it if there is one close to you.

I'm told that Rural King has new ones for $12.
I believe they're Chinese.

They may be Chinese, I'm not sure.

They are, but are a better quality can/finish than the USA Blackhawk cans I got from PSA. Also, they can be had for less than $10 this time of year if you check the flyer. Usually a full pallet near sporting goods.

PSA is out of stock:

Earlier this year they had a HOT deal of 12 for $90 with free shipping. Uh...no, at that time I thought I had enough.

Amazon. The last time I got 2 .30 cans for $18.00. They were in great shape and good seals.

Yeah, I bought the PSA deal too. I didn't really need them, but I should have bought more. My UPS delivery guy bought them too...

Now you tell me! Dammit, I just did my semi-annual trip there today, got light bulbs, Iron Out and a mop, but didn't know they had Ammo Cans!

I bought a damned mop instead of ammo cans! Arrrghhh! Big Grin

By the way, their website doesn't say where they were made. Any idea?

We don't have a Mermads here but at that price I believe they would be made in China.

Yes, besides the metal military type, there are the new plastic ones. I saw some plastic ines on Armslist the other day, from a dealer, $8 I think.

This was alocal pickup price.

Costco. For $18.99 you get both a brand new .50 and a .30. I can't tell any difference between them and the mil-surps I used to buy - except that they're brand new and unmarked.
