Bradis II has ammo cans

[Kirkd]

I was at Bradis II and they got a bunch of 50 cal ammo cans for $16.95 each

Why are they so much more expensive than they were just a couple years ago? I was paying $5 each at Gander Mtn, of all places.

 

[Dirtebiker]

Yeah, big deal! $17
Rural King has brand new ones for $15 and you can get them at the gun shows for between $12-15 for new condition.

Sorry but it not greed. They are costing us more now and are actually still the military issue. If you haven't heard our wonderful government has been smashing them instead of selling them. Yes other places do have NEW manufacture that are being produced. We only raise the price when forced to by our distributors. They have been 15.95 for at least the last 3 years that I remember.

The military would get more money from selling them than they get from the scrap metal. You know, I think the army should have to sell off surplus to recoup costs. Destroying these items is just wasteful, and in our current financial situation waste is not a luxury we can afford.

Gander up here near the Lake wants $19.99ea

That's what they normally cost for "new" cans. Good deal on ammo cans = 50 Cal Metal Ammo Cans | Black Star Surplus

You can get two grade 1A cans shipped for $29.90. Prices only get lower from that point....

Thanks nm0369, the price goes way down the more you buy, just ordered 4 of the 1A cans for a total of $56.81 or $14.20 per can with free shipping..

Saving gas and the time to drive to get them from anywhere else makes them even cheaper than that.

I agree the scrapping is more than likely not as profitable as selling them but imagine the cost of labor to sort, handle and ship the surplus to the different places you can buy them from. To the military they are saving money.. lol

Wow how easily we turn to bite the hand that feeds us.

Bradis has always had fair prices. All of my ammo cans I own except for 2 have come from Bradis. And after shopping around, with out having to buy large quantities and or pay shipping and or drive far away thus negating any savings, Bradis has been the cheapest place for me to buy them.

Thanks for the heads up Kirkd.
