Hey guys/gals I have been looking for some 50cal FAT PA-108 ammo cans, Any ideas on where to get some? I did find a few sites with them some where $29.99 plus shipping, and used. Another site was $20 new but made in Taiwan. I dont mind if they are used but good condition, anyone know if gun shows have them? What is the going price now days? Thanks I do see them at local gun shows at times but quantity and quality vary. Haven't paid attn to the prices. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Last time I was at Big R they had them for $9.99. If you don't mind plastic boxes, you can usually use the $4.99 coupon and get these from harbor freight. I bought 9 of them on my last trip there and they are pretty decent. http://www.harborfreight.com/ammo-box-61451.html

OP's looking for fat 50s, though, not the regular 50s. |

Thanks for the replys....Ya I was looking for the Fat 50 Cans...But I always can use some more of the 50s. The ones a Rual King are made overseas, does that mean the quality is bad?
The last time I bought the Fat 50s was at the Kane show about 5 years ago, I haven't been to a show since then. |

I've purchased from ammocanman.com for fat 50 cans.
At the Indy1500 show, there were many vendors that had them. I think that they were around $15 I was at the show yesterday (Friday Jan 15). It was nice to see powders, primers and .22LR on the tables. |

you need a semi for the gov liquidations auctions. I met a guy in 2012 that had bought a load and sold them at gun shows and craigslist around the Naperville area he was like 10$ a can, I bought over 50 and filled my truck up. I doubt he is still around.
Sportsman guide aimsurplus.com $20 for a fat 50 I have bought from both before. I don't care if they are made in the USA if they get the job done so be it. |

For real military surplus they have to be American made that is what I meant. And your statement about caring about American made is why this country is going to hell, I for one prefer keeping my fellow Americans working.

I paid $15 for 50's at Farm and home in Jacksonville, il. These are painted with styrofoam lining. I saw some lower quailty ones for less. The gun shows in Springfield , New Berlin have them top shape
