Nice ammo boxes - Peavey Mart

[kjohn]

I know they aren't a sponsor. They have what look like brand new ammo boxes for $19.95. I bought two today.

Ammo box is a bit vague, what kind of ammo box are we talking about? MTM? Surplus cans? Something else?

Regular military ammo can. No markings at all. They appear to be unused. Tried to load the Peavey flyer so I could post a pic. No workee.

Like this, but clean green paint, no marking: (click on image to enlarge)

No markings at all, no stamping or anything? Are they comparable to regular ammo cans, such as the ever popular 5.56x45 ones or the .50 ones?

Hmm, Waterproof Metal Ammo Box. 5-5-5041 http://www.peaveymart.com/2ndAug.pdf

Canada ammo has same price ammo boxes, bigger and smaller ones ranging from $15-50

They're brand new .50 BMG cans, would seem to be the same new Chinese cans that other vendors/sponsors sell.

Not finished as nicely as US cans. The ones I saw had rougher seams but they look to be completely serviceable and probably a better value than buying a used, beat to crap, US can for the same money at Princess Auto.

Excellent, thanks to both for the info. I will have to stop and have a look the next time I am driving by a Peavey Mart.

Thanks for the heads up on the cans. I just bought 8 of them at my local store.

Nice ammo cans, aren't they? I saw the plastic ones there too. I bought the metal ones because they will take a good beating.

Princess in Edmonton has new PA 108 cans (fat 50s) right now as well as some well used junk. They look identical to the cans I bought from Canada Ammo.

I like the markings personally, last can I bought was originally for 40mm grenades
