View Full Version : Any Ideas of what to do with an empty surplus spam can???
I have a few empty surplus spam cans that had 5.45 ammo. Does any one do anything with theses besides throw them away? I would think they could be used for something just not sure what. Maybe my wife needs a new bread pan? [LOL]

Start a thread about it?
I have a bunch of them I use to store various parts in.
And a couple of them I use to soak parts in cleaning solution,wife nearly killed me when I used her pans the last time [facepalm]
My wife has used a couple for planters. You just need to remember to hammer the sharp edges down and run some duct tape around the edges.

Sell them on Craigslist as coffins....for small pets!
I use the 7.62 x54 cans for foot soaks. I assume the 5.45s are the same size?
I use them to transport ferrel cats to the local Chinese Restaurants. The Chinese cooks are always eager to adopt the cats and the cats have a tough time clawing their way out of ammo cans.

I think they are just about the same size.

I do like the idea of making money. I wonder how many rats would fit? I do like the rat-on-a-stick at the all you can eat chinese places!![Dinner]

Too bad you are in Greely, or I would take a couple off your hands. I am an ammo can / crate junkie.

It would not be a replacement hat it is just the commander’s hat of tin foil heads!

This ^ But be sure to label them "tactical, 30 round, zombie spam cans."

The mental image this creates makes me laugh my ass off...
Sitting on the plaid sofa, feet soaking in AMMO CANS, while drinking a PBR that sits in a shotshell can cosy, eating a TV dinner and watching Doomsday Preppers.

Sounds like the perfect evening.

Depends on how well cooked they are... [fag]
I have one that I've used to bake Frog Lube on to parts, in the oven... like zteknik said, my wife doesn't like it when I use her bread pans haha.
I figured out what I can do with one can. A holder for my 45 brass.

Why?
If she likes plants, you'll have to buy more ammo so she can get more "planters". N'est pas?[Coffee]

With exception of metals (which have actual value) recycling is horrible for the planet. When you recycle metal it's called "scrapping".

I feel like these speakers would sound terribly mid-range boomy... lol And the handle would probably rattle when you turn them up.

Oh now ya want to go get all technical on us. The Libs love recycling because they can waste twice the energy for half the product. The normal waste now becomes toxic but it is for the children ya know.
There are somethings that recycling makes sense but too many get way to caught up in it. [Flower]
