Any shops in SE PA or Lehigh Valley ares stock mil surplus ammo cans?
Looking for about 10-20 .50 cal cans in very good or better condition.
I know Army Navy in whitehall has them from time to time but they want about $10 a can and they are usually beat up.

There is a roadside surplus place not too far from A-town that has a shipping container filled with 30 and 50 cal cans for about $3-$5 each...I think its in Berlin or somewhere near there....Just up the road from Nazarath....

I think it on route 245, but Ill check. Its called CP's..Ill dig out the biz card and post the info. Its a bunch of shipping containers and they also have an old street trolley car sitting there as well. Right behind it is a cement factory and a place that sells concrete garden statues. There are a few military vehicles out front and a sign that says "Surplus"...They get all sorts of odd stuff as well as the regular surplus stuff....The cheaper cans are in the shipping container. They have some inside the main part as well, but I think they are $5 each...

Armygear.net has new/almost cans for less shipped than most local places unless you live next to a base. Take a look for yourself. I've gotten 40 + from them.

I have bought them on 611 off of 80 at warners (new to new condition direct from the base outside of camp hill)
I also get them at the dirt mall Q Mart  (ok to you have got to be kidding me condition)

Another place that has them is the Army Navy store in Pottstown. Prices aren't great but aren't terrible if you're in the need.

He closed his doors as of October 2008.  I went there a week after he shut down.  That was the last I was there.  It's possible he re-opened, I can let you guys know, I'm about 10 min. from there.  Shame, there was a TON of good stuff in there.  I have a friend that has loads of stuff from him.  

Edited to add: Yes, it's between Bath and Nazareth on Rt. 248
