Last ones I bought were used USGI on eBay: tiny bit of rust but perfectly serviceable.

Not terribly elegant but inexpensive and lawful.
What length shackle do you need for the 50 cal ammo can.. Will a 2.5in work or do I need longer?

I had to think about this for a second before I realized who you were talking about.
I like the irony.

The Shackle is thin, as you can see, and the "U" is 2-3/4" overall (not including the brass body, which does not matter at all).
2-1/2" may work.
They are tricky, and awkward to install. But I'm in no mood to spend any more than absolutely necessary just to appease a law that should not even exist.

Anyone seen these in Danvers yet?
Call with the SKU number I posted earlier (picture) and ask. They can also tell you which stores in the region have stock.
Currently a pallet of them in Dedham. Along wall just beyond Optical Dept.

Meanwhile, in Amherst, NH...
A few months ago, Harbor Freight abandoned their coupon sale price of $4.99 for ChiCom plastic .30cal ammo boxes.
Yes, you heard me right - the days of $4.99 plastic ammo boxes are over.
This month they're $3.99 ea. w/ Super Coupon (limit 8). So that double sawbuck burning through your pocket gets you five small cans and a nickle back.
And the cans come with a hole for a Massprudent padlock.
Protect your ammo now -
it's for the children, you know.
ETA: On the other hand, I discovered last week that CostCo sells perfectly cromulent baguettes for a lot less than Panera Bread. (Pardon my French).

I'm not going to read 8 pages of this but just wanted to notify everyone I got the same deal on Amazon for a 30cal and 50cal ammo box for $20

Plastic ?
I am skeptical.

And check out the Hello Kitty gun safe in the background of that photo.
I found them but they were $50 for the combo.

I'm not sure, I'd ask at the membership desk. I've been a member for >20 years now so I wouldn't have paid attention if they still did that or not.

Anyone know if Danvers has these yet?
No day pass, trial pass, etc etc.
But! You can buy it without a membership... with a 5% non-member surchage. So $21 for it instead.

-2... too hard to pass up
There was still most of a pallet in Dedham early this afternoon.
