 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Hey,

 

Just saw this pop up for me. 
 

https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/cabelas-nested-ammo-cans?searchTerm=3660217

Showing In stock at my location for online order and pickup. Pretty good deal, I picked up a boatload a couple years ago for around $10/12 one thanksgiving or Black Friday I think. 
 

Hope this helps.

I put some in the cart $29 worth, great prices. But the shipping was about $45

I haven't checked prices in the last 2 years, but I've bought mil-surp cans from dealers on E-bay several times. My last buy was a pallet of 144.  Mixed sizes. Very happy with them. Some unused only a few not what I'd conxeder unusable.  Sold some to friends, here and elsewhere. 12-15 each. Don't know how many you want, but bulk is your friend here. At least it was back then. I guess I'll go check now. Don't need any...but you never know.    

EDIT with info. Wow! Inflated pricing. Best I saw was 6 for 100, and a lot of several sizes also around 100.

Still, keep looking. Some sellers offered free shipping on larger lots. Good luck.

I just like to have a couple of the 20 or 30 mm. The ones I have I bought through the years when they were cheap. 50 cal. Was $5 and 30 cal. Was $3 bigger ones were about $10. I probably got over 100 all different sizes now. May just get 1 or 2 of the MTM big ones at the Outpost Armory, they have a rubber seal on them. And aren’t expensive for the size.

Jeff, I just checked my stash. I have a couple left that you could get, but shipping them to you would be a bear! LOL. Your amount sounds like mine. I store extra mags in mine as well as ammo storage use. Actually built a small rack between the safe and corner to house them. It's worked pretty well.

If you should ever get into the Nashville area. let me know. I'll do something good for once. I'll give you a couple of them.

If You get to Nashville, Battleground Army surplus always has a great selection.

BGA...Hmmm. Not familiar with them. 2001 Nolensville Pike. Over in the high class area. They might not allow an East Nasty there.

Looking for a few slings. Wonder if they might have any?

Not the high class area. It’s just near the old fairgrounds racetrack.
