Aimsurplus says all new surplus ships in cans in boxes, not crates anymore. Did we hit re surplus year that they changed over? I have a can opener, but I have yet to buy surplus again to use it. Time to get a tin of 54r I guess

Roundboy posted:Aimsurplus says all new surplus ships in cans in boxes, not crates anymore. Did we hit re surplus year that they changed over? Now I am just guessing here, so this is just hyperbole, but maybe it was done for cost efficiency. Companies like Aim decided since more people only usually buy a can at a time and they were getting stuck with mountains of crates, that it would be a better idea to leave them in Europe and have the cans boxed instead. This way you could fit more tins in a shipping container. Just looking at the two crates of 7N1 I have next to a loose can I could guess that a thick box with two poly straps around barely larger than the cans would save a lot of space. I am guessing the space in a container previously taken up by bulky crates probably allows almost a third more ammo to be packed in a shipping container for the smae or similar price.

Makes me glad I purchased at a time where they were still shipping in the crates. Got 3 of em stacked up in the garage and they're pretty loving neato. Got a few can openers sitting around too because of it; lots and lots of ammo to go through, I need to hit up the range more.

I just bought a crate of Yugo 7.62x39 from AIM, and it came in a Crate. However, the ammo was in a hermetically sealed tin case, so it probably made sense to keep it in the crate for shipping.

This may not be a deal, but I just moved to Colorado so it's all I can go on. Normally, the Winchester white boxes are the cheapest thing at Walmart, but they had a bunch of Federal brand 9mm for $10.47 which is cheaper than the $23.something the WWB was. It looked like they had about a case-worth which is more than the ones in Minnesota every had.

CougarsWrath posted:$37? welp, wish me luck 10.58 shipping.  I don't even have anything to put one on, why did I just buy it? edit: didn't buy it. Appears to be an older model - 80 lumens versus 160. Please correct me if I'm wrong incidentally - I'd love to have this. edit 2: gently caress it. ordered it anyways. Now I have an excuse to buy a handgun with a rail on it. hmmmmm.... edit 3: unnnnnghhhh this $40 flashlight is going to cost me $600 now.

I already have one somewhere... And I don't have any rails on my sig either  Worst case I have a buddy with a 226 w/rail, it should make his day  Even if it's 80 lumens instead of 160, anything over 60 is still pretty stupid bright.VVV gently caress yea dude, nice one  VVV

Bought it. Don't think I'm gonna miss 80 lumens. By the time I do, I'll have $100 for a new one. Thanks, ZebraBlade. Now I need a railed pistol. I'll throw it on the AR in the mean time.

Whats with the sites looking exactly the same? Edit: While I have "too good to be true" alarms going off, the Pro-Look Uniform Store is an actual storefront in Pennsylvania.

That doesn't explain why they have 50 nearly-identical sites all selling the same things at the same prices, though. If it is a scam, there's going to be a lot of angry goons out for blood.
