The real story is DeBeers took over the mining of ammo cans.
Damned conflict cans, the whole lot of 'em I say.

No, but I would think they would be using the .30 cal size... at the least, most of the cans I see have their original yellow markings painted over with camo spray or other paints and remarked with different markings or just plain repainted for DRMO(Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office).Has anyone found cans that are marked for 9mm m882?

I might have some insight...
About 18 months ago, i noticed that pallets of the ammo cans starting going for more $$. What would normally run $600-$700 for a pallet of 500 cans, starting going for $2000+. People figured that they could buy them, sell them, and easily make money. What they then found out is that they have to pick them up, haul them, store them, clean them up a little, put them together, and then advertise and sell them, all around their normal schedule.
you forgot the best one!We sold em to Lebanon, Israel, UK, various South American militaried, Mexico, Cartels, African countries, and so on.... i mean really, we can export M16s to other countries, just not to ordinary U.S. citizens.. although... there ARE surplus M16 kits on the market, and the much vaunted, much expensive M16 lowers have been surplused onto the market before 1986... just after 1986.. they're now very valuable/expensive due to being exclusive.
Gecko45 comment I just find surplus gear works good for their price. I do not buy into the whole "tacticool everything" and go out all decked out in armor, vests, and looking like this
