Hey All,

Any good suggestions on where to find good ammo cans. Anyone able to speak to ones at Harbor Freight?

Used is fine I suppose. Can always sand and repaint.

Thanks,

I have been buying Fat 50 ammo cans and the Ammo Can Man is where I go.  I buy them 10 at a time and split with friends.  Sells on Amazon with free shipping, or did.

Why not get both?  You can buy a case of ammo that comes in a .50cal can for like $300.

Walmart, Harbor Freight & Tractor Supply ammo cans are all import Chinese garbage that are not airtight.

Midway had a sale a week or two ago. So did Sportsmen Warehouse. $8.00 for 30 and same for 50.

Edit: HF I would not trust with my ammo.

Academy has Fat 50’s in stock.  Not cheap by any stretch, but good cans nonetheless
