Ammo cans at Menards (2pk / $9.99 AR)

[tgmorris99]

Was at Menards today and came across a clearance on a 2 pack (50cal + 30cal) ammo cans for $9.99 after rebate. These look similar to the ones Costco had. I picked up one and my local store had 4 left. These appear to be on clearance until they're all gone. SKU is 1758300 and most stores seems to have quite a few.

I am all but swimming in ammo cans because of those Menards sales.

Avon is now sold out. These are very well-made, well-finished ammo cans. Now to be diligent enough to actually follow through on the rebate…

Are these Chinese made cans?

Yes. Made in China.

Yes. Made in China.

I'll stick to the true G.I. cans, they haven't failed me yet.

I'm with you on the G.I. cans.
The Chinese cans aren't as strong, seals and hinges don't line up consistently like the G.I. cans do.
EDIT:
I'm not saying the Chinese cans aren't good enough. But, in my experience "good enough" usually isn't good enough in the long run.

Still have them in Fort Wayne, but they had to go into storage to get them. No limit on numbers for rebate.

"Chinese ammo cans AREN'T good enough". I'm not afraid to say it.
