Looking for ammo cans

[thwkman]

Anyone know where I can get 30 or 50 cal ammo cans in the mass area?

Fts guns in new Bedford usually has some around. The army barracks stores should carry them too, as well as other surplus stores. 4 seasons sometimes has them around

I bought a couple at Four Seasons, they are $15, brand new and seem quality enough. There's a surplus store in Saugus, I'm sure they have them.

The armory in Woburn stocks them. Right by mass rifle

Just ordered one of these on eBay if you want to cut out the leg work and don't mind used.

I just picked up two big 20mm cans at Army Barracks in Saugas on Saturday.

As I was cashing out, a woman asked the cashier, what are those and what do you use them for? He told her it was a military ammo can, they are air-tight and water proof, you can use them for anything. So I added- I just fill them up with more ammo! Considering where we were, she looked pretty shocked. The AB did stock a ton of AirSoft stuff so maybe she didn't think 'real world' ammo!

I have one or two of the 420 round 5.56 federal cans , if those will work for you let me know. Looks like you're real close to where I live.

cool, been meaning to check out that store.

Maybe she thought you were storing 20mm ammo, lol. That would get me to raise an eyebrow.

donr bother with banana's in plymouth only thing left is the same shitty rusty cans they have not been able to sell for years.... they where 18$ for the 30 cal can last I looked.

Be careful, I saw some 50 cal ammo cans in Tractor Supply in Taunton, however they had a sticker "Made in China" on them, no price and likely are knock-offs of unknown quality.

I get mine from the CMP...Full.

Four Seasons as New/Unused cans with brand new seals, if that's important to you.

What is CMP?

The guy who lists these on E-Bay is from Randolph, MA. See if you can get a message to him through the site, he's a great guy and has tons of Milsurp stuff, my guess is he'd work with you on price.

If you want a fairly easy way to lock your cans without drilling out a hole, I posted a thread on how I did it. There is a ready made product for sale at some online shops that does the same, but I like DIY projects, when I get bored.

Should have told her the wife hides the sex toys in them so the kids dont find them ...........

I was there yesterday. They have a bunch of brand new ones without a scratch. $22 for 50 cal and IIRC $19 for the 30 cal.

They look like real cans, and they cost as much as real cans. Sucks that they are made in China, though.

I'm sure they'd work just fine, but I'd rather buy the real thing.

Keep ammo and other items safe and dry with the Buffalo Tools Army Style Metal Storage Box. Traditionally used by soldiers and hunters to keep gunpowder and ammo protected and dry, this Metal Storage Box can also be used in the basement to store fragile collections, in the shop to organize tools and hardware, or while camping to keep food away from animals and safe from the weather.

Because nothing tastes better than the inside of an ammo can.

I buy these from Brownells. I get a bunch at once and use a free shipping coupon.
