Ammo boxes and gun cases in Nevada

[TrailDust]

For anyone living out in the west I came across a guy in Beatty, Nevada, who sells just about every size and type of case you can imagine: Ammo boxes for .223, 7.62, .50, 20-mm, etc., foot lockers, hermetically-sealing containers, camera cases, and the list goes on. The guy who owns it, Keith, is really cool and down-to-earth. With his permission I took a few photos of what he has on his lot. BTW, he doesn't ship, so this is only for people out west traveling in the Nevada area. Also, he has no business name, no web site, and no phone number (remember, this is Nevada ), so you have to be driving through Beatty, Nevada, to get these things. Thought I'd share.

Wow! If I lived out that way I saw several cases that I would have to have.

Sounds like the kind of guy that would have a lot more of those in a bunker under his trailer that are full of fun toys...

Most definitely. The owner, Keith, is a great guy...interesting to talk to. I'll be heading out to Beatty in two or three weeks and I'm going to pick up two camera cases and a couple of ammo boxes too. Worth stopping there for sure.

i so wish this guy would ship stuff he could make a killing just off me.

Next time I see him I'll ask him if he'll consider it. Beatty is sandwiched between the Nellis range and Death Valley and pretty much in the boonies, so shipping costs would probably be prohibitive. Good excuse to convince your wife to take a road trip to Vegas, with a little side trip of course.....

mmm 3400 miles round trip
10 MPG towing the 36 foot goose neck
$1250 - $1440 just in fuel

would take a great deal on the purchase to break even
bummer, and I was only 80 miles from there a few months ago

I know another place you can buy everything seen in those Pictures here in TX. Any millitary base, you just have to go to the DRMO office they sell them by the pallet and you can get ammo cans at about $1.50 when you buy the pallets but they only sell buy the pallet. And again its self pickup only.

This interests me tell me more of this DRMO office.

Heres the link to their worldwide auction site. www.drms.dla.mil/

 

[thorkyl]

Do you have to bid online or can you just set an appointment and go purchase?

I would love to grab 2 pallets worth.

 

[RetArmySgt]

Most post have an office you can go into but some you have to bid online.

 

[RetArmySgt]

On a slightly diferent topic have you found those 2 rifles yet?

 

[medalguy]

Yeah they do offer them but sometimes they have 20-30 pallets in one lot for auction. I've not seen small lots in a long time. And you have to take whatever they have, maybe no lids or most are dented. You can't go through them and cherry pick. Not as easy as it sounds. See www.govtliquidation.com I think it is.

 

[RetArmySgt]

Yeah but when i bought one i got 3 pallets at less than a dollar a can and the ones i didnt want i made 5 dollars a piece at different surplus stores and on craigslist.

I was just in Beatty three days ago and it reminded me of this thread...thought I'd bump it....
