I would like to pick up a few "New" 50 cal ammo cans. Where is the best place to get them, locally or online? What is a good price?

    im sure that there are some local guys who have them (I will let them chime in.. i think Blake might sell them, but not sure if they are "new").  I bought some a while back at Cabelas..

    However, they were $15 on sale at the time with free shipping.  I wouldnt pay more than $15 per delivered.

    I see luckygunner has them for $13.99 + shipping. If I order 3, it comes out to $19 each shipped. Is that a good deal?

    meh, if it were me, i wouldnt pay that much...depends on how bad you need them.. the 13.99 price is good, but shipping kills that deal to me.

    Meltzers in Garfield has ammo cans in stock. Don't recall the prices though

    A week or two back I belive RuralKing.com had them on sale for $9.99 plus shipping.   Might have been a holiday deal, so I don't know how often they run promos.

     

    As of right now, they are $12.98 plus shipping.

    I went with luckygunner since I wanted new cans. $19 shipped seemed pretty good after looking around. The average was about $25 shipped for new cans.
