"Just for curiosity, why the need for the ChiCom crates when you have the ammo cans?"<br /><br />For twenty years I have humped cans and crates in and out of various cache and storage settings. It is far easier to move, store and stack crates than individual cans.Dutchman6https://www.blogger.com/profile/09935420042995679958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-47264409461602378342012-11-25T20:30:35.768-06:002012-11-25T20:30:35.768-06:00I haven't been to a good gun show in Colorado ...I haven't been to a good gun show in Colorado for almost a year. Getting too much junk, newbies trying to play arms dealer and too many old hands holding out for prices that are unrealistic. While it's their right to charge whatever they want for their property, the only people I've seen buying from them are newbies.<br /><br />Most of the former regulars who provided good merchandise and were willing to haggle a little for a fair mutual price are taking some time off to let things settle down at the shows. Meanwhile, some decent deals can still be found online on the private sales lists if you're willing to negotiate some.David Forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838876992410760867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-4416197956032566132012-11-25T19:46:34.019-06:002012-11-25T19:46:34.019-06:00Just for curiosity, why the need for the ChiCom cr...Just for curiosity, why the need for the ChiCom crates when you have the ammo cans?Erinyeshttp://californiayankee.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-13492070174615295552012-11-25T15:48:04.381-06:002012-11-25T15:48:04.381-06:00For $8, one could make the box and paint the darn ...For $8, one could make the box and paint the darn thing!William Flattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-40464623805568584452012-11-25T15:38:50.240-06:002012-11-25T15:38:50.240-06:00Suggestion: put a cow-catcher or spikes forward o...Suggestion: put a cow-catcher or spikes forward of the wheelchair.

When I can find the kit I packed away when I moved(or maybe just go ahead and buy a new one) I'll replace the latch with a lock hasp so I can lock it. In the AF we had lengths of steel cable with loops on the ends, loop it around something and put the lock around it, and it'll discourage casual snatches.Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843550881990596267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-30821862630815776162012-11-25T13:51:03.390-06:002012-11-25T13:51:03.390-06:00Glad to hear you're out and about a bit!
