I'm in need of about 10 cans.
If you got em for 1$ a can, I'd be game for 2$ a can if I had to pick them up.  Hell, you could prolly sell them on craigslist ASAP for 2$ a can. |

50 cans would be need to justify that.. I can get 30 cal cans for $2 a can at a local surplus store.

Someone on the local geocaching forum bought a pallet of ammo cans from a surplus auction in Washington a year or two ago. There were quite a few damaged, rusty, and mostly worthless cans on the pallet, so don't be surprised if this is the case.
That being said, I'm sure I'd buy 10-20 fat fifties or just fifties at around $2/can. |

I think you should look into getting a group buy on a pallet of .223 or .308 or something that comes in cans.
I'm in for a few thousand rounds if so.

I found a good stash at The Post Exchange in Damascus. 3/$10 .50 cal (Fat .50's) and I think $2 for .30.
They also had cannon cans, etc. etc. |

Same here. 2k each, 308 and 223. Perhaps a k each of 9 and 45 too but above all, feed the rifles first. |

Well you can get MANY different sizes. Here's an example of some 5.56 cans (about the same size as a 50) that went for about $1 per can. cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=939791&convertTo=USD I'm just looking if there is enough interest to think about a group buy, not actually start one without prior approval......right PETA????

Yes, but that's the old address. I think they moved to 282nd, between Haley and Dee Rds. I sent an IM with the new area. If you can't find it, give 'em a call. |

Bah. I tried calling this morning and the number is disconnected. I may wander over that way tomorrow and see what I find. Thanks! Oh ya, did I mention I'd buy a few ammo cans at a decent price if someone eventually were to do a group buy.

NoAim was 100% correct, SGT Gator's Post Exchange is located on "282nd, between Haley and Dee Rds". They have a new phone number - 503.663.0862
All they had left were Fat 50s and 50s with lots of rust and nasty, cracked seals.  However I did pick up 3 30mm cans for a grand total of $6, plus $15 in gas. In conclusion - I'm still in the market for 5-10 50/Fat 50 ammo cans. |
