Thinking of picking up some more ammo cans...prices sound real good. Which vendor did you pick yours from?

Thanks in advance.

I wasn't looking for them at first so I may have missed a vendor or two but there are two vendors in the hall to left when you enter. One is right there at the end of the second isle I think it is and if you walk back that isle to the end and hang a right there's another one back there somewhere. The ones up front are a little rough and the ones in the back are cleaner. I was already near the door before I decided to grab one so I dug through the rough ones and got one that was on the better side. Their prices are the same AFAIK.

Another +1 for Laserworx, they have done a bunch of stuff for me and are great.

Thanks for the info and location...looks like some cans are in my future. Can never have enough...to fill.

Went with a friend yesterday. It was kind of last minute. I picked up some little things that were not to heavy to carry. My friend and his GF both bought pistols.

The one thig I noticed that seems to be at every gun show is, some people are allergic to soap.

Fat smelly rednecks are part of the experience.

Out of coursity, what cans did you get, and what did you pay?
Just got 6 30 cal. cans, condition 2 ( the best con 2's if very seen), from the AmmoCanMan. for $60.00, shipping included.

Soap aversion does not seem to be limited to any one group or venue :|

I probably told this story before.
Many years ago while working construction, I used to bring a bar of soap and take a birdbath before lunch.
I started doing it because I was working with some noxious stuff on that particular job.
The entire crew busted my balls and generally had a great time at my expense for being such a Nancy.
By the end of the job 90% of the crew was borrowing my soap so they could wash up too :0

I know I'm lucky because I am retired and can go when I want to but...I come in from the west, get off at the Collegeville exit (Route 29), come down the back roads, through the village of Oaks and in right at BJ's inlet. 1500 is good time go get there because the early arrivals are leaving and they had up front parking spaces. I had to walk eeee 100 yds to the no-line entrance and went right in. Oh, and it's a Friday thing for me.

Damn that’s when I was there. Where are those hats?

I picked up two of the 20mm cans for 25 and four of the 30cal cans for 5/can. These were grade 1 and super clean. Look like they were used just once and stored. The vendor is a regular but I did not know he was the one that had these cans until I went to his location as referenced by Walleye Hunter. He will be back in March with a whole new assortment.

I usually get my cans from the surplus guy who sets up in the front entrance area to the left as you walk in. Lately his selection has been rough. There was another guy who was a family type affair with his kids helping out...he had real nice cans but no discount.

Notwithstanding the numerous purveyors of beef jerky, pickles, and bacon, I think you got the best deal at the show...

And you can store all kinds of nuts, bolts, screws, etc. in'em too!

The "missus" has a thing for Asher's dark sea-salt chocolate. When the production cosmetic rejects periodically go on sale at half price, I usually fill up two 50's and keep them in cold storage in the basement. She's very disciplined (only 1 a day), but can't begin to imagine a world without chocolate....
