Good Deals: Cheap ammo cans and carabiners

[+synergicity]

Surplus European 30 cal ammo cans: 5 pack for $15, anodized aluminum carabiners (keychain quality) 2 for 99 cents. I ordered 1 set of 5 ammo cans and 4 sets of 2 carabiners and shipping was UPS for $7.86 from So. Cal. to No. Cal. We'll see how good their service is as I just ordered this stuff tonight.

 

This is where I got this stuff.

 

If anyone else has deals to share, I'd love to see 'em.

Thanks for the tip.

Next time you might want to post things like this in the GPS Garage Sale forum where they normally go.

Lapaglia,

 

Thanks for the pointer. I read the garage sale description "Upgrading your GPS unit and want to sell it to folks who are just getting started? Post your unit here.", and as I wasn't selling anything myself, I thought the General description of stuff "that doesn't quite fit anywhere else" was best.

Some of their prices are quite high. $12 for a .50 cal ammo box!!! I can get 3 at cheaperthandirt.com for that money. Cheaperthandirt also sells a 6 pack of the .30 cal for $19.

 

The deal you point to is decent though, but it also says the European .30 cal cans are more narrow than the US version. I wonder how much more narrow. Anybody out there ever see one?

They don't provide the dimensions.

Yes. just like BriansNat stated... cheaperthandirt is great place for the ammos.

 

UMC directed me to that site a while back.

 

Thanks, UMC! I will post to you via private if you don't mind.

Boy, aren't we bossy today. Since gtinseth isn't selling anything and just offering a tip to the masses, I think posting in general forum is reasonable. Unlike the other poster this morning trying to sell his eTrex ventures in every category.

I found the dimensions.

 

7" tall x 10" wide x 3" deep. Waterproof, air tight protection with fold down handle.

 

And from cheaperthandirt where the 6 pack is around $20:

 

Measures about 10"Lx7"Hx3"W with fold flat handle.

 

So it looks like they are pretty close in size.

This store is a few miles north of the home and I like it. Earlier in the year I bought 5 of the regular size 30 cal cans for $10 here. The 50 cal size was about $5. They also have some very nice cammo paint. I might go by there and look at these "Euro" size cans.

I think I've found my new caching vehicle on their site!

Or how about a military Hummer for $26k?

Just wanted to report back. I received the stuff I ordered on Sept 17th yesterday; 6 days for cheap ground shipping. Everything was as described.
