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.

gov liquidation.com...

 

will say that academy has them with free shipping.

i'm more interested in cheapest price for a bunch.

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.

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.

if you want the real ones...just buy them from ammocanman.com

 

What is the difference between the academy cans and the harbor freight cans? Harbor freight has them for $9.99 also, till 11/30.

I think the Harbor Freight cans are 30 cal, no?

Nope, they are 50 cal

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

 

I've never seen the 50 cal ones at HF but I'm sure they'd be comparable.

I bought a dozen last year and they are fine. I just ordered another dozen.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hey nice! I was looking for some ammo cans.

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. 

 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

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. 

Was at Harbor Freight on Friday - the 50 cal cans were $15.  Seemed pretty solid - didn't pick any up.

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.

thanx. will go today, hopefully there are some left.

I just received 5 50 cal and 5 30 cal from midway,    they were the grade 3 which is the lowest quality.  just wanted to see what they looked like,   they appeared to have been used once and are in perfect shape.   4.99 for 30 cal and 6.99 for 50 cal.

Do the harbor freight coupons stack?

Not on sale items that require coupons.  Unless you have someone new there that doesn't know, I haven't had any luck.

In case they give you a hard time.



Just picked up 4 in the rt 17 store. Plenty left
