BJs wholesale club had (probably chinese, I didn't check) .50 with a .30 can inside of it for ~$15 / set. I picked up a couple of those, nothing wrong with them...

Most of the things I see at my gun shows up here in PA weather it's military surplus that is B to hell or Chinese New, is $20 & up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say they were cheaper than that at the Middletown NY show, but I don't recall exactly. About a 1/2 hr from Matamoras PA. They're having another one in February IIRC.

(I'm jealous, I feel it now...) I've only got 16 cans full of ammo now. 5.56, 7.62x39, . I just bought 600 rounds of 308 between the Federal gmm and PPU..ONCE I figure out which shoots better in my RPR, i will buil up the 308 stock to 2-3k rounds. In addition, I have a large sreel filing cabinet full of .45, 9mm, 22, 25-06, 25wsm, 270wsm, 20&12ga. All toll, if I had to guess, I've got in the neighborhood of 25-30k rounds.. I think I could fill all the ammo cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
