If you buy bulk ammo from Cabelas, you'll end up with tons of plastic ammo boxes.

Can you think of other ways to use them?

I was thinking about packing my lunch in it but reconsidered since it may freak out some coworkers.

Fill them with more ammo.

I keep spare firearm posts in them also. And label each one to what firearm it its for. 1 box of ar gear, 1 box 10/22, ect

Send 'em to me.

Just stack em.

I fill them with ammo, only got 3 of them right now, but eventually want to have one for each of the major calibers. only problems, i shoot them almost as fast as I load them.

post them for free on the forum if you have no uses. your junk is another mans treasure

Yep, I stack them with ammo. My oldest grand-daughter is using one to put some of her little toys in. I have one out in the lawn shed with some small tools like pliers and screwdrivers. I'm sure there's dozens of uses for them.

Fill with concrete and assemble into a bunker-like structure.

I take them to the range and give them away. I never had to take any home again.

Leave them at cabelas because they aren't free. Even when I DO buy ammo from cabelas, I leave them. I haven't found an ammo deal there yet that wasn't either beaten by a good chunk elsewhere, or available as a slighlyt better deal a couple aisles over without the "free" box. As far as I can tell, the box costs you between $5 and $10. Now if you need one, and need the ammo that makes it a $5 deal, by all means take it. It beats paying $14 for the box.

Raz is right. Its marketing... People love "free" stuff. They just see the word free and think its a good deal. In reality there is no such thing as free. You pay for it one way or another.

Exactly. They are never free. In my opinion, they don't hold much amo before the top get's misformed when carrying them. I use the 50 cal cans personally. I have 3 or 4 I can see if anybody wants em

half the time they run the promo's on the site, it's slightly cheaper to just add individual quantities, and you tend to get the container anyway.

Use them as a tackle box, hobbies, hide Ur porn, maybe a little personal cooler, mount to a ride on mower and use as a battery box , ideas are endless lol

i separate my ammo based on caliber, so I use all of the boxes.

^^^This, better than simply getting rid of them, and people like myself can always find uses for them. Actually, I was planning on buying some since I'm starting to reload, and I'm sure a lot of other NJGF members would be more than happy to take them off your hands.

I'd rather have the Metal ammo cans

OK 1 out of 5 ideas isn't bad...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

J/K, good ideas actually..

I can tell you from experience that if you fill them to the brim with ammo then don't stack them more than 3 high - the bottom one will eventually flex open.

Yup, stronger and can carry more ammo

I will take them if you dont want them. I have spare ammo to use them for.

sell them to me, i need some ammo boxes

My father in law took mine and made mini planters for.basil lol
