best ammo cans (newbie)

Some old military cans work fine. No need to buy a bunch of pricey ammo cans that work just as good. Any military surplus place will have them. .30cal and .50 bmg cans. Might even find some 20mm cans. I have seen the .50 go for $14-$18. You can find them online also. Even at flee markets. Just make sure the seal is still good. I rub some petroleum jelly on the seals. Just to keep them from drying out.

I buy $10 plastic ones from the gun shows. They are not as heavy as the metal ones. They also have a good seal with a hole for a master lock. Oh and it is doubled latched.

Ammo cans!!

Buy what you can!! I favor the cans that open on the side, the German Panzer cans. When i'm energetic I take some emery cloth and sand them down, then I give them coat of Rust -o-Leum Red primer. Rust-0-Leum sells camo color spray paint, I forget the actual names of the colors, one is an earth tone and the other I believe is Forest Green. Just set them on a saw horse and spray your own pattern of como. Everyplace I go and people see them want to buy them from me.

I bought old military style ammo can for 10 bucks at gun show best 10 I ever spent works great and latches securely
