Ammo Boxes at Costo

[joken]

$20 They are in a tray. She got these in Salem, but they had them in Albany too, a few days ago. They are similar in size tho the small ones at Harbor Freight, but better quality I suspect.

I've seen these as well although never bought them. Seemed like good quality and a good price.

I got some, the latches kinda suck but they work.

Re-branded MTM ? Or a straight rip off?

Too heavy when full of ammo to carry.

I got some, the tray I guess is nice for when your headed to the range and dont want them falling over, otherwise pointless... I'm going to use it to drain oil into

Those trays are pretty nice for stacking, especially if they nest .30cal steel cans correctly.

That is my bet - the MTM "cans" have that double latch and come with the tray. The two big plastic shooting sports container manufacturers are Plano and MTM. The MTM ammo cans are better; thicker and not as flimsy as Plano. I use both, but not longer put heavy things like ammo in them - moving ammo to GI surplus & some cheap 3rd party metal cans.

The reason is that the lids on the flimsy Plano "cans" noticeably bend when lifting a "can" full of ammo, such that the seal is temporarily compromised - my bet is that eventually the lid would permanently break - either at the hinges or elsewhere. I haven't seen that on the MTM cans, but I bet the lid deforms enough that the seal is broken a little.

I will probably be going to Costco Tigard today to fill my gas tank after my phys therapy and if I go inside the store I will try to remember to check to see if they have them there - they probably do. I won't buy any though - I have more than I need of the plastic cans.

The ones I have do not nest any of the GI metal cans.

I don't believe they're the same as the MTM ones. They don't stack the same as my MTM unless they changed their mold. Greenmade is the same company that makes those black and yellow bins for Costco.

I bought theses a couple months back.

I have all my ammo in metal ammo cans. When I go to the range, I put the ammo in to the small grey plastic ones from Harbor freight. But since purchasing this tray set, I've been using this.

Comparably, I'd say they are similar quality and build to those, except you get a tray.

Hope this helps.

Look closely, my tray lots of holes in the bottom.

Bimart has the 3 piece metal sets again. I believe they were $40. The boxes nest together when empty.

A year ago that same three box set was $30, pretty cool for a 30, 50 and a fat 50. I store reloaded ammo in them.

Haha, was just going to say that they have the metal ones stacked deep. Thanks Ark. Bimart also has 10% off shotgun ammo, which is why I was there, that sale might end soon, but they are very competitive anyway.

Tigard Costco has the four cans with tray - about 20 of them on a pallet.

They are not MTM

Costco on Andresen had them today. I bought 2. BiMart has almost exactly the same thing, for the same price. Better, or worse? I dont know. BiMart also shows a 5 pack of the same design on their website, but for quite a bit more $.

 

[joken]

The Costco boxes are difficult to open, and the same size as the small ones from Harbor freight.

 

[Sxsnuf]

I loaded a couple of them up today. They easily hold 500 loose .223 or 125 2 3/4" 12 gauge. More capacity, but bulkier than .30 cal steel boxes. Stack better though.
