| I thinking 500 dollars or more of 50 caliber cans and bigger. I want to replace the plastic storage containers that i use for misc. household stuff. A tornado blew the roof off my house the other day, i did'nt lose anything that mattered but i'll be using more cans on the future. Who's got em cheap? |

I've been hesitant to buy cans online because I don't want to end up with a bunch of rusted metal, so I usually buy them at gun shows. However, I haven't seen one can at a gun show around here in a long time. I need a couple of those SAW cans and maybe a few fifty caliber cans as well. What has been the condition of cans coming from the sources mentioned above? If I lived near enough a military base that was selling those cans by the pallet, I'd bid on them in a heartbeat. |
Yup, there is a guy that comes to the local shows and always has a bunch. Typically I walk out with (10)7.62 ammo cans for $30. Thats about all that is easy to carry in my duffle bag so I just buy 10 every time I go - usually I think I wont need them all but before the next show rolls around they have all been used for something.

3-4 years ago I picked up 4 for 10 bucks at a show. It was the last day of the show and the guy was down to about 1/2 pallet left. Didn't think he wanted to pack them up and transport them back so he had them marked down. That might be a bit of a strategic thinking on the cans if you get to a show later on the last day. |

Thanks, U_G. I've never been to one. They have gunshows down in Birmingham a couple of times a year. That might be a reason to go. I picked up a couple of beauts at a local gunshop. They don't carry them but had gotten some ammo in and had just put them on the shelf. 4 bucks each. We have a salvage store here that uses them for bins for nuts and bolts. Thousands of them. Sometimes you can find some empties and they're in good shape. 5 bucks each. The duffel bag idea is a good one! |

I bought 10 50 cal. cans from armygear.net for a little less than $6 each shipped. Best deal I could find on the net. 2 had very little rust that was easily removed with steel wool, the other 8 were just dirty. Much better than the crap I used to buy from CTD and a lot less cash too. Weidners was a close second but their shipping ended up killing the deal for me. |
