Ammunition Can

[terrehautian]

Was at Bass Pro Shop this past weekend, I will have a $25 gift card, should I get plastic ammo cans or the real metal ones? Plastic is under $10 while metal is 20?

Neither. Go to a surplus store or the 1500 and get surplus metal ones for $5-$10 a pop.

Agreed, I just bought several at the Ft Wayne show for $10 a pop. They look brand new.

My range can is plastic, the rest are metal.
You should have went to Bass Pro on black friday.
They were $10 each for the metal ones.

Inspect each can though... surplus means different qualities. Check the weather seal under the lid, the snappiness of the clasp, and handle. Also check for rust.

Since you have a GIFT CARD i would say 2 plastic cans and a pack of gum.

Save the gift card for when ammo is back in stock.

I will go to Walmart or Rural King for ammo when back in stock. I will be ordering online as I don't get over To Cinci that often.

Get fishing stuff!

The metal ones are the way to go if that is what you want. All the ones I have gotten have been cheaper like others have said.

Get military surplus cans, if you have any rust, wire wheel and prime and paint over them. I paint the exterior of all my cans, have for a long time. Don't mess with the inside, if there is rust inside, don't buy it. Most cans will have some minor surface rust on the outside. I steer clear of bent cans at all cost, and dents need to be small.

Otherwise, you can't go wrong. You will have a solid setup too.
