Local sources for Mil Surp Ammo Cans ?

[CaseHardened]

Any local stores or Dealers that carry genuine old Military Ammo Cans ?

Preferably the smaller ones.

I get my from the CMP for free...when I buy the ammo.

I'll travel pretty much anywhere in New England to see an interesting shop.

And if it's too far for me, the knowledge may benefit someone anyhow.

Kittery Trading Post sounds like fun - and this time of year the Traffic may be bearable!

I've heard good things about Rileys. Never visited. It's time I do.

Not for nothing, but try yard sales. I found a like-new .50 cal can and a WWI mess kit in great shape for $5.
Olive-drab cans stick out like a sore thumb...

Took the words right out of my mouth. This place is awesome. And yes, the cans seem genuine. You'll find them stacked by the dozen against the right hand wall in the back room, near the diorama.

Four Seasons in Woburn usually has them.
The Army Barracks also.

Yup. $15 at Riley's right now for .50s.

Biggest cost to buying ammo cans on-line is the shipping.

Maybe a "Group Buy" would be in order...

Are you anywhere near West Boylston?

Metro West Surplus is a PFG surplus store.

Give them a call and ask about the price on their ammo cans.

Pricey the army barracks are cheaper. I do the whole flea market thing I rarely pay more than 5 dollars a can, hell I scored 4 at mags at 10 each all pre ban this year.

Yard Sales!

I need to avoid them.

I always find myself dragging something home I don't need and have no place to store.

I wonder if folks find nice guns in the Red States, though.

Here in MA I would not even ask, lest they call 911.

 

[MSant]

There is a guy on here that has them listed in the classified. Cheaper than I have seen in stores and a good guy all around.

 

[CaseHardened]

Thanks to all!

A Road Trip is in order, if the weather holds

 

[VTJPM]

The NES'r is hamaya, he's out of Revere. Nice guy, easy to deal with. plenty of choices at good prices.

Watch out for the dreaded "Yard Sale Loophole"...

I would be so in, my dad claimed all my ammo cans when I moved back home for a month...
I used to have a buddy that worked at Otis, he would get me all the cans I ever wanted

And angry wives going through a divorce! I was at a yard sale years ago and the woman was selling matching snowmobiles for 450 a piece and they were brand new. At the time I didn't have mad money for something like that or i would have snapped them up.

+2 on this. I've bought a pallet at a time from him before for work (we use them for hardware buckets) He carries both genuine Surplus and reman stuff. Stock varies but worth a call.

Just look through the threads started by martin08. The yard sale finds he posts are unbelievable.

 

[RLBreton]

I've had very good luck with Tractor Supply, actually - I just got 2 "kits" with a new 50 cal and a new 30 cal can in each on closeout for $15 each kit. I've also gotten new 'fat 50' cans there before for $17.99.

Came here to post this. They have all different sizes usually.

It kills me when I think of the 1000's and 1000's of these tossed over the sides of aircraft carriers during a cruise. At first everyone on board is collecting them but you only have so much room to stash them away on board. the surplus goes over the side.

I grabbed quite a few during the two cruises I was on but over the years have either lost most of them or given most away....stoopid.
