louu 399 Posted November 19, 2017 I know all of you use slickguns AKA gun.deals and if you're not you should. So you probably already know that the ammo cans are back on sale like they are every year around this time. I'm going to stock up on a few because one of my 5 gallon buckets decided to bust open and leave about 4 thousand rounds all over the floor. https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/game-winner-hunting-utility-box?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Apps+47%2C+Inc&utm_content=12478019&utm_source=CJ&utm_term=#repChildCatSku=114512400 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sota 1,191 Posted November 20, 2017 will say that academy has them with free shipping. i'm more interested in cheapest price for a bunch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louu 399 Posted November 20, 2017 The academy ones are not surplus and don't stack as well as the real ones, BUT they are brand new, seal perfectly, don't smell like shit and have perfect paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup I have one here. Doesn't stack well but it does the job. I got a better deal from Costco when they were on sale for the 2 pack .50/.30 cal for like $15.

intercooler 41 Posted November 20, 2017 if you want the real ones...just buy them from ammocanman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartyZ 692 Posted November 20, 2017 What is the difference between the academy cans and the harbor freight cans? Harbor freight has them for $9.99 also, till 11/30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted November 20, 2017 I think the Harbor Freight cans are 30 cal, no? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MartyZ 692 Posted November 20, 2017 Nope, they are 50 cal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heavyopp 167 Posted November 20, 2017 I bought some off a guy who bought a pallet from gov liquidation -- I bought 40 of them, paid $4.50 each or something like that -- that was maybe 5 years ago 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted November 20, 2017 I've never seen the 50 cal ones at HF but I'm sure they'd be comparable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Stu 1,916 Posted November 20, 2017 I bought a dozen last year and they are fine. I just ordered another dozen. Thanks for the heads up.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD2K 115 Posted November 20, 2017 Hey nice! I was looking for some ammo cans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted November 25, 2017 I got mine today. I ordered six and they packed it into a box that could easily hold 12 with no packing material. The damn things must have been bouncing all around inside that box. Two of them have scratches on them, only one of the black ones has a really noticeable one. I just can't believe they didn't use any packing bubbles or paper or anything. Only 4 were packed in bags. Last year they were packaged much better.

myhatinthering 462 Posted November 25, 2017 I have both the academy I have both the academy and Harbor Freight and they are exactly the same. I was lucky and bought a boatload of tall 50 cal cans at Englishtown. There's always someone at Englishtown selling them and that's where I like to get mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted November 26, 2017 I'm getting extremely frustrated. I've tried their online chat 3 times so far, all 15-20 minute waits. Once I get down to 1 or 2 remaining in the queue I get error saying no rep available and I get booted out. I'm in the process of trying one more time. If not I'll call monday and cause a raucous, not only for my cans being packaged improperly but for the poor customer service on their end with the chat keep booting me out after waiting last hour to talk to someone to ask the procedure to have the damaged ones replaced.

Krdshrk 3,877 Posted November 26, 2017 Was at Harbor Freight on Friday - the 50 cal cans were $15. Seemed pretty solid - didn't pick any up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try Coleman’s surplus in PA. They had pallets of them before. Get the 40mm cans, they are way better for storage!. I can fit a TON in one of those.
