Where's a good place to get them? I haven't been to banana bay in a long time, do they carry those?
Anyone have a preferred store, or know where I can get them for a good price? I'm talking about the metal cans not the plastic ones. Thanks!  |

Looking for the .50 cal and .30 cal size. Perhaps the big ones too, if they are cheap enough.

I think Banana Bay had some last time I stopped in - not sure about the prices, if they were good deals or just average. I keep telling myself to go over to Killeen and hit some surplus stores for things like this, but it's been a few years, and the surplus store of the past may not exist anymore!

I usually just pick mine up from the Army Navy Store over on Burnet Lamar. Their cans are in top notch condition, and they spend a little time cleaning them up before putting them up for sale. A little pricey compared to some of the online deals (probably works out about the same with shipping), but from what I recall, they are still cheaper than Banana Bay. I think I last paid about $13 or $14 for a 50 cal can.

I normally go over to John Gun's in Bastrop from my ammo cans. Last time I was there in June, I bought a bunch of .30 cal cans for $7 a piece. They were marked $16.95, which seemed high, so I asked John and he said it was a mistake, they should be $6.95.

I forget the name of the shop. Its a army surplus just North of 183 on
Lamar. On the East side of Lamar. Its a small shop. But prices were not too bad. Quality was good. Lots of different size cans too. |

My mistake, I meant to say Lamar. I always get those 2 mixed up for some reason. It's the place that tiger85 is referring to.
