Sources for empty surplus rifle/ammo crates?

[na1lb0hm]

Is there a good "go to" stop for empty (or full) rifle/ammo crates, should I just be hitting up my not so local surplus store or am I just better looking on the EE/buying full ones, shooting the ammo?


Thanks in advance!

I saw lebarons in Mississauga sells empty ammo cases for about $10.00.
I can sell you 4 empty ammo cases for $20. you pick them up.

not sure how far you are from calgary, but there are a few surplus stores that I purchased many ammo cans from. cheaper than buying online with shipping.

haha! some quick maths:
southern ab to on = 3280 km
vehicle gets about 480 km to a tank = 7 tanks there @ $1.30/L w/60 L tank = $546 x 2 (both ways ) = $1100
$20 a case x 4 = $80
$80 for food, red bull etc

= $1260 total = 4.8x cases of 7.62x39mm @$260 a pop

Meet halfway ?

Thanks for the tip on Lebarons.

I'll check out some of the shops in calgary for the ammo cases Mrschultz, Thanks!

Now.... any tips on empty rifle crates?

p&D Enterprises had a few a few weeks ago. Plus they did just get that shipment of norc ammo, probably a few people are only going to want half a crate, so they might have some more empties floating around in the near future.

Princess auto out here had ammo cans for $14 at one point.
