Anyone have a local (central AR) source for reasonably priced ammo cans?  Would also consider mail order if you know of an outfit that doesn't abuse you too bad on the shipping.

Last time I checked (maybe 4 weeks ago), Pool Surplus in Greenbrier had some .50 cal cans for 10 bucks I think.

I'd call before making the drive; http://arkansasarmy.com/

Is Searcy Central AR? and is 10 bucks a can reasonable?

Central enough, as I get through there occasionally.  $10 is ok for .50 cal if cans are in good shape - last gun show ones I picked up were $8/ea.

Don't know if you have an Atwood's near, but I was in the one in Hope today and they had about 100 cans in good to excellent shape for $9 each.

I picked a real good one up at Ft Thompson the other day for $7-8. They had more.

JDM... I have two empty Paki .308 containers. Gotta get rid of them before my deployment and move. Shoot me  PM to set up the transfer if you want.

Good call.  Made it by there at lunch today and they had 5 or 6 .50 cal cans on the floor for $6.99/ea  When the worker saw me checking seals and stuff, he told me they had a few more in the back if I wanted more.  One thing led to another and wound up with him telling me if I bought 10 or more he would knock another dollar off, and let me pick some out from the warehouse.  Let me tell you - they have literally hundreds of them - if not more - stacked on pallets in their warehouse, so if you need any might want to go check there.

...and yes, I will still take yours off your hands, thanks.  I didn't buy as many as I need, and feel I will be making a return visit in the near future to buy more.

I liked going there when Gerald ran the show. After he died, so did the friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices.

FYI - they still have plenty, still asking 7 bucks each.

They also have some 120mm mortar cases for 14.99.
