      $20 for 3 .50cal? That's way pricey IMHO.. I`m looking for $4.50 to $5.00each.

      Am I dreaming?
      Have the prices gone up THAT much

          i got 3 .50cal cans for 14 bucks at the crossroads of the west show. two were stamped 07 one was 05, nice and clean with a good seal. look for them at the next show. there were also a bunch for sale here on the forums a couple weeks ago. some guy in temecula had stacks of them, dunno how many he sold by now though. search the marketplace

            +1 for the ammo can guy at the gun shows. His stuff is very clean and in awesome condition.

              if you dont want to wait for gun shows, and you are near the cerritos area, try ammo brothers. they have loads of them. usually if you buy some rifle reloads they come in an ammo can too.

              i think i paid like 7 bucks a piece for my 50 cal cans. at the gun show it was like 10, so at the time it wasnt much of a price difference. although that may have changed..

                  Free Ammo Cans!! Good Price,hahaha

                  I have three ammo cans for free. They measure 12"x7"x6". They are in real decent condition and they are for the 5.56 ammo, that is what it said on the side of two of the cans. You can have them if you want to come to Vacaville and get them the hell out of me garage. Let me know if you want them either by email or PM. Bob

                    Depends where you are and how many you want. If you are near San Diego store called Murphy's Surplus www.murphyjunk.com They have them.

                      I like the 40mm stackable ammo cans. I get them on sale @ miswayusa.com for $7-8 each.

                            Check out your local army/navy surplus stores in your area. With the economy the way it is you might be able to deal with them a bit. I just recently went into one in my area and they were outta 30 cal cans but they had some cans about twice the height for night vision goggle storage and I got one for 10 bucks. Hell it even looks new!

                              You've GOT to be f'n kidding me. You're pissing and moaning about a <$2 diff in price, for an almost-new can?
