I use the ammo boxes for hunting equipment. They make great dry boxes for in the boat. They will hold a couple of boxes of shells, binoculars, gloves, snacks, etc.

Though it will be pretty funny to show up on a field with my m4 looking paintball gun and a 5.56 ammo can decked out in full cammo. lol evil:
Haha, you'd probably get arrested and accused with some lame-ass offense.
I have a few tins. Hunting gear in a couple and one is stuffed with 7.62x.39 these are great! Army surplus stores rock!!! Great deals on rope and other goodies. Get a bundle of parachute cord and never buy shoelaces/bootlaces again!
Guys, I made an entire thread in the history forum for people to post info on their collections. It says WWII stuff, but go ahead and post modern stuff too.
And 2.50 for a patch! I'd say you got ripped off. I paid 0.99 each for the patches I got for my modern Canadian BDs (OD, not Cadpat). They had a bunch of US insignia for the same price.
