Thanks, Piney!

I see they have a store @ I 45 & Airtex and advertize 50 cal cans for $6.99.

Gotta find some excuse to go to Houston now!!...............,OE

Part of the "High cost" problem is the shipping charge factor. I've seen some $6 50 cal cans that the shipping was $9 per can.

SO, KBCraig, when are you comming to the Houston area???????

Example: I want 2 50 cal ammo cans. Say a vendor at a Houston gun show sells them for $8. $12 gas round trip, $6 to park, $12 for me and wife to get in. I just added $32 to the cost of the cans!!

It makes my head hurt. I just can not pay $18 shipping for 2 $6 cans!

Don't any of you worry, I'll get over it. It's hard when you are frugal.

I was wandering in Wal-Mart and complaining to the sporting goods guy about the high cost of surplus ammo cans.

He showed me one of these:

The one Wal-Mart has is ORANGE and sells for $7.83 + tax, same brand.
W-M calls it a "Boat dry storage box".

It's plastic, but I bought one to try anyway.

It will hold 24 boxes of Blazer Brass 45 ACP and 5 boxes of 9mm also.
I was barely able to lift it. But the handle didn't come off in my hand.

I have my doubts about the "dry" part. It's too flexible and the gasket is thin.

If you want something to store some ammo or other stuff. Take a look at one.

If I could find a good 50 cal surplus can for $8 Il'd rather have that.
