new 30/5.56 ammo cans?

Post by integral »

Has anyone found a good place to find new cans of either caliber? I found some great looking and unmarked 50 cal cans, but I cant seem to find much. Except for plastic knockoffs anyway.

Thanks

not NEW. I don't thing the gov is contracting for as many cans and the new deal is they scrap a lot of the cans as opposed to selling them off. Or at least that's the rumor I heard, so the quantities of used will likely be going down too.

The Sportsman's Guide has both 30 cal and 50 cal in used but good condition.
