Little's Cache Posted November 10, 2002 Author Share Posted November 10, 2002 Sorry, it is Major Surplus Quote Link to comment
umc Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Have you ordered from them before and had a good experience? Also if you have ordered from them by chance have you gotten any .50cal cans and what was the condition of them? I've been wanting to order some .50cal cans that are in somewhat decent shape for a good price but haven't yet for some reason.

+bitbrain Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 50-Cal cans usually run me $4.95 each locally. I get 7.62mm cans for $3.95 each. Matter of fact, I'm going to have to pick up some more next weekend... If you wanna know where I get 'em at that price, just drop me an e-mail, Doug. I haven't seen any mortar tubes, but they have many different sizes of ammo cans. - If the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biscuits. - Quote Link to comment
Little's Cache Posted November 10, 2002 Author Share Posted November 10, 2002 Yes I have purchased Mortar tubes. (Watch out Bitbrain, I'm in Bartlett). Good condition and should hold a lot. Service was fine. DL Quote Link to comment

+15Tango Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 My only advice is Caveat Emptor, or buyer beware. I have two places in the Twin Cities area that I get ammo cans, and both for around 4 bucks a pop, and they get them by the pallet. I'll go in, and have to sort through the entire pallet to find 4 or 5 that aren't all rusted and nasty, so I'm assuming that if you buy a pallet of ammo cans, and assuming 20 ammo cans to a pallet, you'll end up having 3/4 of them that aren't worth more than scrap metal.

+briansnat Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Cheaperthandirt.com has the .50 cal ammo boxes for $3.99 and a 6 pack of .30 cal ammo boxes for $18. I've purchased over 50 boxes from them over the past year and have found them to be in good to excellent condition. Several had a little rust, but nothing that a little sandpaper and a spray of Rustoleum couldn't take care of.

+Gimpy Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I'm with BrianSnat. I've gotten 50 from cheaperthandirt, & all have been in excellent condition. Some of my caches have been out for over 1 1/2 yrs., and the cans look like I put them out last week. Of the 26 I've put out so far, I've never had 1 that had any moisture in it. I've been very satisfied. cheaperthandirt Shipping is very reasonable & delivery has always been quick. "Gimpy" Quote Link to comment
+eagleflyby Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I just recieved an order of 4 .50 cal. cans and 3 mortar tubes and a 25mm canon ammo can from Major Survival and military surplus and the service was great. Shipping was only $16, and the stuff was in great condition. I'll order there again. And...no. I am not related nor do I have any shares of them So Long Eagleflyby Quote Link to comment
