I am looking for a couple 50 cal ammo cans. Does anyone know who has them for around 12-20$ a piece?

Like most military surplus, ammo cans are being crushed, rather than put on the commercial market. This, in combination with an increase in demand, has led to a vast shortage of ammo cans. Companies are starting to manufacture them in China, and are selling them for the same prices as GI cans.

Our local surplus store has risen the prices of .30 cal ammo cans from $6.99 to $19.99 over the past 5 years. .50 cals went from $9.99 to $24.99. They can hardly find the bigger cans anymore.

I was wondering about this the other day myself... I need to start scrounging. I hate spending as much on shipping as I do on a product. I was REALLY eyeballing some 40mm cans at work the other day...might have to talk to some folks.

Of course I cleaned up the garage a bit last weekend and found a .50cal can. GI1 SCORE... my very small amount of powder now has a home.
