How much are .30 cal ammo cans in great condition worth?
Also, what are the uses for them? Just curious.

Thanks,

Don't know worth but lots of uses other than just ammo. I keep my garden seeds in one.

Obviously I store ammo in them 50,
Cal 20 and 40mm also. Infact I need many more all mine are full. Not sure on price of nice ones.

Great for skunk and lure while trapping.

$12-$15 for newer cans used ones in good shape $10-$12 new ones can be hard to find.

metal cans with a good gasket have gone up 12-15 is a decent price range for 30s
50s are more like 15-18
those might even be a little dated as prices

why I have gone largely to Plano and MTM boxes while not metal they serve the purpose of ammo storage well


as for uses , more and more every day I have seen everything from just holding child hood treasures to power pack battery units , speakers , small electronics control boxes , tool storage , seed storage

anything that needs dark and dry to store well

Tools etc.

Tow chains

$12 to 15. I keep tow chain in one tire chains in one

Good idea

The plastic ones are OK for storage, BUT, they are NOT water proof at all. Put something heavy in one, like a couple boxes of duck hunting shot shells, and drop it in the water.

I use em for lure/bait storage in off season. 50 cal when I can find them are better I can fit more in one.
The rubber seals are nice forr keeping odors contained.

These came from a Marine Corp base. So, pretty much brand new. I use them to store my lead in for later use. I have about 200 pounds to date.
Your definitely not going to grab and haul butt with one.
Stinky lures for sure. Brass if you have enough. Flares, matches, lighters etc if camping and ammo of course.
Not to mention first aid supplies and medicine.

Thanks for all your help.

I like them for storing ammo under the bench , stackable and hold about a case and a half of 12ga shells

amazon was settling them shipped for like 16.99 for a little while some times midway has a sale on them also
