A friend passed away and his widow has asked me to dispose of his guns and ammo. There are 3 of these ammo cans; can anyone tell me what it is?

My condolences on your friends passing.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for these to pop up in the classifieds.

Thank you; he was a lifelong Marine and a true patriot.
I'm afraid I'm not going to sell these online; they are too cumbersome to ship. We have a gunshow coming up in April so I'll put them out on my table. I just want to accurately identify them.

Sorry for your loss. You figure out a price per can or for all 2100 rounds, did he have weapons that shot X39 for sale? PAX

There's a Norinco SKS; all original, used condition, bayonet, cleaning rod and tool kit in the buttstock. PM me for pictures if interested.

Thanks, but not shipping; too much hassle and this stuff "weighs a ton."
