    Default military ammo cans???

    Where can i get military ammo cans somewhere near reading, pa. Could buy them on-line but shipping kills you. I'm figuring there has to be somewhere local where i can get them.

    Here in Pittsburgh, the local Army/Navy store has them. Do a Google search and see what shows up in your area. For the record, the Army/Navy store had them for about four times the price that I paid for them at a gun show. The gun show had skads of them and I gave him $20 for five medium cans.

    That's a good deal.

    Also on the surplus stores. I've seen prices anywhere from 5-9 a piece for the medium cans in good shape. (Check the seals!!)

    I've only got 2. I need another yet.

    They're half of what Targetmaster wants at the Valley Forge Gun Show (mid-December). Granted, it's $9 to get in but you usually go for other trinkets anyways so the $ saved on shipping might make up for it.

    At the Harrisburg show recently, we were buying the 50 cal cans (med. size) for $7.00.

    Surplus store in Zerns usually has them. I think it was $5 for the smaller ones and $8 for the larger (I forget)

    I remember a fellow at the HBG show in the spring had the 50's at 6 bucks a pop or 4 for 20.

    When I looked them over....I realized they were darn near brand new. As in used once and still had styrofoam liners.

    I bought eight of em.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we might be seeing more of these coming home from the land of the sand.

    Darn it. I wish I would've seen that. I like to keep a different can per caliber and I just picked up 2 different ones so I need two more. The cheapest place here is at romans and I think he wants 12 pr .50
