COSTCO Ammo Storage Bins

[Skeet 028]

went into Costco yesterday....What in 'ell is there to get all them people in that store?? I decided if I need those boxes that bad I'll buy 'em at a yard sale in the future. We weren't in the store 10 minutes...I was almost wishing for a bumpstock. If I go back it's going to be the hour early old folks day!! I wanted to get the boxes and a good rib roast....and after the 10 minutes I didn't CARE about anything but leaving. BTW looking at the greenie label...are they MTM? I was wanting them to pot 22 ammo etc in. All I have are the 50 cal ammo cans from US surplus. I mostly have shot and lead ingots in them about 40 of 'em. . A real pain to move.

We went to one this past Dec. that has a humongous parking lot. The parking lot was full of parked cars and about that many cars riding around looking for a parking space. We left because if we had found parking the inside of the store would have been like a can of sardines.
I've always used coffee cans and cigar boxes to store my pistol reloads. Cigar boxes wear out but a coffee can will last forever. Larry

Amazon is OK IF YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR PRICES! If you don't, Amazon is sometimes no bargain at all! I do buy from Amazon, but not nearly as much as I used to and when I do, I exercise caution as to what I buy.

...

Agree with this. In the past I have ordered oil filters for my car from Amazon. Have since discovered that prices are better Menard's, WalMart, or other big box stores. It's true of other things as well.

So Amazon is good when you just want things delivered to your door or need something that isn't available locally.

I like .50 steel boxes.

You folks are a lot stronger than me. I can pick up 2 full 50s, but I'm not trying a rack of 4. I have more time than back muscles. I know -- go to the range and shoot more.

Me too - one 50 or maybe two 30's at a time max. All a 76 year old well used back can handle now. Not complaining, I can still handle a range bag and get to the range (and hit some of what I'm aiming at!). Life is good.

Never saw those boxes at Costco. I did buy a number of ammo boxes from Harbor Freight on sale...quality isn't the best for sure but I only used them to transport ammo during our relocation from the Peoples Republic of Maryland to Free America in Arizona. In that...they served their purpose.

I still have a few but disposed of most once I had no further use for them.

It's hard to replace genuine GI ammo boxes.

Amazon’s fast delivery and easy returns make up for a lot of sins.

These kinds of pictures are great.

I show them to my wife and I seem MUCH more rational in comparison ...

Regardless they get Heavy and now a pita to move.

Is that a serious comment? All ammo cans get heavy and are a pita to move. Especially the bigger ones. Which is why I don't move them or not very far......

Costco Ammo Boxes

Just purchased 2 4 packs of Greenmade Store All Crates from
Costco for $19.99 per 4 pack. You can get the same product from their website delivered to your door for $29.99 per 4 pack.

Their item number is 1731258

These look like 50 cal ammo cans, have a lockable lid and can be used for storing a variety of shooting items.

Greenmade is also the manufacturer the ubiquitous black & yellow Costco storage bins as well as the excellent collapsible InstaCrates.


I've been pleased with all three products. The quality is very good and the prices are reasonable.


Non-members should be able to purchase these products through the website. The prices are higher because they include shipping.

My wife picked up the last set at our local Costco for me today.

Wow, never felt “ crowded out” at either of the local Costcos. One in St Augustine and the other off Collins Rd, can be seen from I-295 W.

We go to that newer one in St. Auggy. It’s a bit further on but the drive is more pleasant….. and there Buckeye’s near by.

Amazon is not your friend. They just mastered one stop shopping and the solution for immediate gratification.

I disagree. Amazon is a dear friend. After stock split and buying on the down side I’m up about $70 a share.

The Costco 4 packs are Not 50 Cal cans , smaller 30 Cal. or now-days 5.56/.223. My new ones will be full in about 10 minutes of sorting cardboard boxes.

I received my Costco order this week, and yesterday I finally had the time to unpack the storage boxes. Ammo is heavy, and as other posts have stated, I have always preferred the metal storage cans.

I added a few pictures for clarity.

1. The storage boxes do contain a seal around the edge of the top. Keeping moisture out is a plus.

2. I was able to load nine boxes of .45 ACP in each container box.

3. Afterwards I weighed one full box. Twenty-three pounds! Now I'm not sure how sturdy that handle is.......but so far, so good. 4 X 23 = 92 pounds in that tray!

4. I have a concrete floor in my "Man Cave" so I added two wood strips under the tray.

5. The handle is lockable and has an opening for the shackle.

Yeah, that could be an issue.
