Looking to buy one of the "older" barracks boxes.

Define older? fiberglass with metal trim or the green plastic Samsonite beer cooler?

The one before the pelican case.

The one before the "pelican case" or MOB is still on current scales of issue and at this point in time, listed as operational. If you do luck into one, it shouldn't be from an individual...

Once upon a time CANEX sold them in Blue, not green.

I remember them... I saw them in Borden a LOOOOONG time ago and thought the were only for Air Force!!

I was issued three of them over the years and was never asked for them back. they make great mouse proof storage units for out of season kit.

Ya, the gray ones, were much softer inmaterial, not brittle, almost rubbery. I have 4 BB's still use them here, great POK.

Blue - eee ghads. I would like to purchase one of those new pellican types, but I hear they are 100's of bucks.

The Aussie BBs are great, about $130AUD to buy, made by Nylex (google), the same company that makes the 84mm Carl G cases, and yes they are Australian, and so property marked with the crows foot. Check your armoury, in Regina in 2004, I seen many.

Good luck. I asked and just got pointed towards Pelican. I got a 1610 case, which is roughly the same size as the older pre-Pelican issued case. It was original 275$ from a retailer in Edmonton, less a 10% CF discount. So not too bad.

Mich,

Try an Action Packer.  They come in 3 or 4 sizes and can be locked.  Available at most Wal-Marts and Canadian Tire stores.

They used to sell them in different colours at the Samsonite factory outlet in Stratford, Ont. If I get a chance I'll stop in and see if they are still available & the cost.

Best Wishes: Rick
