+one4zorro Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Having read the archives and visited all the MOD surplus stores nearby I can not find a source for Small Ammo Boxes (.30). A few suppliers that I have spoken to have said, 'that the current Gulf situation has meant that supplies have dried up'. Does anyone know of a supplier that definitely has stocks? I am based in Staffordshire, but anywhere will do! Thanks Martin Quote Link to comment
Gypminer Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 (edited) We saw these today at an Army surplus place in Codnor, Derbys. £3.50 each for the small ones, big ones (too big!) were £5 bogof!!! "Anchor Supplies" Edited October 31, 2004 by Gypminer Quote Link to comment
+one4zorro Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 Thanks Gypminer According to Anchor Supplies web site they are out of stock of the small version H82 255x95x185 This is the size I am after. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment
+Cryptik Souls Crew Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 OK, not the sort of answer you are probably looking for, but whenever I want an ammo box I go to a car boot sale. I always pick a pretty big one and there is always someone there who is selling an ammo box or two! (usually for £1) Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Army Surplus in Kidderminster sells them for £2.50... possibly even lower. MarcB Quote Link to comment
+kbootb Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Try Surplus and adventure (a bit expensive) or flecktarn (about £5.00 each) Quote Link to comment
Gypminer Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) Mmmmmmmmm. I saw them with my own eyes!!! There must have been 50 plus, outside in a crate. They were graded from the size you have stated up to very big I'll tel them later. Edited November 1, 2004 by Gypminer Quote Link to comment
+MarkGPX Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Springfields in Burton have some ammo boxes listed on the website and they usually have more choice in the shop. MarkGPX Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 well done Mark - I was just about to say that Quote Link to comment
Gypminer Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Anchor Supplies, Peasehill Rd, Ripley, Derbys DE5 3JG 01773 570137 Just tel them, they have these in stock, £3.50 each bogof, but bogof offer not available for mail order. Quote Link to comment
+kbootb Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Try Surplus and adventure (a bit expensive) or flecktarn (about £5.00 each) Just reporting that I ordered some from Flecktarn on Sunday p.m. The site did not calculate the postage, but you do have an option to get a quote. About 9 p.m. I got an e-mail quoting £6 postage, not bad for 5 ammo boxes. So I accepted the quote. Received the boxes Tuesday morning which it as close to 'next day' as you can get from 9 on SUnday night. And I didn't pay extra for next day delivery, just the standard. OK I know I could get them cheaper in store but I couldn't find anywhere locally that had any in stock. All in all, pretty happy. Quote Link to comment
+lordelph Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 For what it's worth, I too have been looking for ammo boxes. I contacted Anchor Supplies, here's what they have at the moment: H83 280x140x185 @ £2.00 heavily used 640x335x200 @ £5.90 650x235x235 @ £5.90 840x260x150 @ £3.50 Most UK areas are £7.50 for 1-2 day delivery of up to 30kg Quote Link to comment
+one4zorro Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Thanks for everyones help with this, after a load of phone calls to almost all the companies listed here, I finally managed to get the size I wanted from flecktarn (thanks kbootb) they were £5 each and £6 for postage (I ordered 5). No one else seems to have the smaller size in stock at the moment. Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment
+paul.blitz Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I have a couple sitting in my garage (Winchester) if anyone needs some & can come by to collect. I suspect that OMally may have some left too, but not sure if they are small or larger ones. If People want ammo boxes, and are coming down to the Winchester bash in Jan, let us know, and I'll have a word with OMally and see if we can source some. Paul Quote Link to comment
