Vintage cans are easy to come by. I have bought lots and passed on many as well, usually they go for around $5 to $10 each at garage sales, flea markets etc. I am local and can see what I have for extras.
Also 7.62 or 5.56 ammo cans can be had at Princess auto or KW Surplus in Kitchener for about $20 each.
Fortunately for myself, I have a complete ensemble to outfit my mule when I get it done.
Al 1960's vintage, I have 3 mortar crates, several ammo cans, fuel cans, radio gear incl PRC25s, and a complete USMC uniform and web gear. Even have the Death Cards, Lucky strike cigs etc.
Just need to find an M16A1, M14, LAW or a blooper now...
