As mentioned there is a market for milspec equipment and tools. The supply of good metal ammunition cans dried up a while ago. Instead I'd find ex British ones from BATUS or maybe American ones. Never in good enough condition to be trusted with anything important, or worth collecting. Then I started seeing brand new unlabelled cans at Princess Auto. Upon inspection and a little Goofle searching, it appears these are made in Edmonton for retail sale at Princess Auto. I've seen .30, .50, fat .50, 40mm and some other size I didn't recognize.

The exception to my remarks about the supply was a pallet of WWII side-folding lid .50cal cans that turned up a few years ago. I don't like that style for my purposes, but bought up as many as I could afford. The last one went to a machine gun shooter.
