gun show ammo crate find
Hi everyone,
Just got home from a local gun show in Leesport PA. and found a pretty good deal. I picked up a spam can for $110 with tax and they threw in the crate for free. Actually I had to stop them from mangling the crate trying to open it with a tire iron! I wanted the crate to make a wall hanger display of my Mosin stuff....instead of putting the 91/30 and extras in a gun case. The pricing was all over the place at the show....they have a crate of hex 91/30's for $199@ and the same guy had spam cans for $169 each! but he told me the prices are going up all over!
So if you are in the area, check it out,
later, G.

Good deal. I need a few more crates. I put all my boxed ammo in them.

Re: gun show ammo crate find
That's $110.00 for one can ? That strikes me as high but if it's for a crate (Two cans and an opener) it's great!
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

No just for one can, but the cheapest on the net right now is $85 per can at Dan's Ammo here in PA, plus PA tax 6%, $5 , plus shipping $20, so for $5 I got the crate I was looking for, and the ammo is nice and warm in my basement............just in case the world ends this afternoon!

Nice
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

The Mosins are all 1930s, a mix of Tula's and Izhevks, about one third laminate stocks.

Re: gun show ammo crate find
At the most it's only a few bucks extra, and for a cash and carry deal with a free crate I think it is a great deal.

EXCUUUSE ME?
Please check out sportsman's guide and w/ membership free shipping offers. It's a Hell'va lot less.
But since I've got 8 wooden crates, excuse me 7 as the 1st went into an ammo can for quicker access!
I'd post a copy of The Shotgun News Oct. 2003 on the prices then, but I wouldn't want you to As to why we all didn't learn to appreciate the M-N's and Finn's earlier.
My excuse was that I was purchasing US WW11 pieces, a K98, and Type 99, etc.
It's like gold coins which country, value, etc.
BUT I've got a good supply to feed my '03's, M-1's, M-1 Carbines, K98's, & now my M-N's, and lastly 1895 Nagant

Re: gun show ammo crate find
I used to live in Farrell PA, right next to it is Sharon PA. There is a nice gun shop, I bought quit a few WWII firearms, Mosins, Mausers, sks's etc there. it is Elite Firearms. They have a nice 25 yard indoor range too. If you PA guys are close you would do good to check them out. He has a nice collection of machine guns too, he is a class III dealer.
