what is the current rate for GI ammo cans?

platoonDaddy · Feb 15, 2015

Any idea on current rate for VERY good used 5.56 ammo cans?

Check out the cans in the classifieds that Chevelle is selling. I bought ten of them and not a spot of rust on a single one.

Another +++ for Chevellenut.

Another + Chevelle. Got some from him same day I contacted him. Nice guy and the cans were in very good condition. Not any rust anywhere.

I bought them for $12 each at the Frederick gun show

Ammo cans. Gotcha ammo cans. Ammo cans here. :lol2:

Oh sorry thought I was at a ball game.

Thanks for the nice words all

I got them of Natchezz (sp?) for like $11.66 delivered. They were on sale I think.

Aimsurplus has decent prices on unissued if you buy in bulk. Out of stock at this time.

There's just something cool about unloading ammo cans from his truck into mine in a dark parking lot… :lol2:

At Nation's this past weekend, the .30 cals were $9 and the .50 cals were $12. They were basically in brand new condition.

You could do even better than that... I bought a couple 50cal cans for $10 each, and I probably could have swung a better deal if I had bought in bulk.

Keepshooting (MDS) IP has used 50cal cans for $14.95 if your local to Waldorf you can save $'s on shipping Call and ask to drop by and pickup.

Wideners is usually a good source:

That said, there are a lot of really good deals on ebay. Use a vendor with good feedback and free shipping! I just ordered some of these:

Most likely made in China.

Haha. You ever get up to Jessup/Silver Spring? I could prob use 5-10 more but the diesel out/back from annapolis would suck.

I'll try to find out. I'm hoping they are of the quality of the cans Midway was selling:

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/74...nd-30-caliber-combo-pack?cm_vc=ProductFinding

They seem as good as any of the GI milsurp cans I have. Check out the reviews.

I have a few of the china cans and the metal is a lighter gauge. They seem to seal fine but they are not as sturdy as the real thing.

what is the current rate for GI ammo cans?
