Was looking for a few .50 Cal cans, and Ranger has them used for $25 each. 
Tell me there is someone around here with a better price than that? I wouldn't pay that for new

If your on NoVa go to Full Metal Jacket in Arlington or Alexandria. They are usually about $20 I'm old school 
$10 for used, $15 for new!!! Yeah, I still get sticker shock when I see them now. Old Sarge would sell them 4 for $24 at the Dulles shows years back. I'd usually come home with at least 12, each show, and they were pristine. Built up a nice stack of empties I thought I'd never fill. Well... it's been at least three years since I filled the last one.
But just can't bring myself to pay $20+ per can to add any more. |

I don't recall ever paying more than $4 a piece for a 50 can. I would normally buy in bulk so they would run about $2.50 each.  |

I switched to plastic cans. You can often find them on sale for ~ $10 a pop. For simple storage they suit me just as well as the milsurplus cans. |

Can you not buy them any more at surplus? I need about 20 - 50 cal cans. Would like to have some more 30s too. I loathe the thought of paying $15 each for a 50 cal can. At this point, I'd pay $15 a can! Everyone has gone full 'tard on these things. Anyone want to work out a group buy with a local dealer? I mean if we get with a surplus store and buy say 100 between several members here...? |
