Ammo Cans

Recommended Posts

Are the metal cans really that much better then the plastic ones? The Plano plastic cans could be had for $7 shipped from amazon

To me the metal cans are better if I pick them up for like $5-8. Given the choice, I'd take the metal ones just because they're cooler. But I'm not looking to pay $20 for a single can shipped. I'll just keep my eyes peeled locally, they come up.

$20 not bad since these are new, since I see used ones at gun shows for $15, but the surplus ones are always rusty and smell funny and they never close right.

Lol, the best one I got was from the Vietnamese dude at the Berlin Farmer's market. you can get them Cheap-as-hell from him (When he has them), and they're usually in good shape.

i'd say yes.

 

I've got a bunch of both, The metal ones can hold as much weight as you can fit in them, i'll occasionally load large batches of ammo and fill the metal cans to the brim, they must weigh 50 pounds. I bet the plastic ones I have would either distort, crack, or rip the handle off.

I picked up a .30 cal today at Raul's Army navy, $15, the seal looks brand new, Outside has a few scuff marks and stuff, but that doesn't bother me. At the Berlin Mart, there was some other surplus place (Not the guy I used to buy from), and they wanted $15 for a .30 cal that was pretty beat up, some rust, and with dry rotted rubber.

Pays to shop around haha.
