Hey I got all my can's 50 & 30 cal at gun shows. The 50 cal went for 3 for $10.00 & the 30 cal 4 for $10.00. I would wait till the end of the show on the last day and most of the time got 4 for $10.00 50cal or 5 for $10.00 30.00. That was not that long a go. Well 10 years or so. I always picked up some at every show so I have a lot. I keep all my ammo in them ,my gun cleaning stuff, gun oil, tool's etc,etc. You had to pick the good ones out some where junk most where like new. Glad I got as many as I did because you can't get them any more.They are real milsurp. The ones now are going for $15.00+!

I have seen and bought the new metal .50 Cal ammo cans from Walmart for about $9.00 EA. Here is an example. Awhile back it was Midway or similar was selling the 50 Cal cans with a 30 Cal can inserted inside it for something like $15 EA. Over all the years I have accumulated what amounts to a collage of the things.

I love metal cans, but I keep breaking the handles. The curl around the ring that attaches to the lid keeps coming undone and I can't bend it back properly. Sucks when I go to lift a can of .45 ACP and the whole damned thing goes "Thud", especially right on my boot! :O
