    Cardboard Ammo Boxes & Styrofoam Trays

    Does anyone know where to get them other that Midway or Topbrass?
    Midway are out of the 223 ones, and Topbrass ignores my emails.

    Looking for a bunch of them

    Thanks

    See if you can discover who makes the ones for Midway and if they'll sell to you directly, and maybe give you a commercial discount.

    Try asking at your local commercial graphics/printers. Take some samples with you.

    Sorry for the late reply...

    Because I like to bring back complexity...

    Here's one of the companies that makes foam trays for commercial loaders:

    http://www.clydefoam.com/protective/

    However, given the cost of shipping, what you may want to do is find a local company that can handle the molding for you, it will certainly be cheaper than ordering a conex full of trays.

    Also, if you are interested in paper boxes, I have a dxf for cutting the nato style 20rd ammo boxes milsurp ammo usually comes in. Send me a PM or e-mail drew@ammomfg.com and I would be happy to help

    I ended up just placing an order with Topbrass and it arrived at my shipper a couple days later.
    Maybe when you spend $2k they take you more seriously and bother to read it?
    Didnt get an email, just arrived

    From my experience ordering stuff from scharch, it's usually kindave a **** shoot. Usually had the best results calling, even then it was still enough of a PITA that I just started making my own boxes with the help of a local paper company.

    The Boxery has a sale on 4"X4"X4" cardboard boxes. .17 cents ea. I like using bulk boxes vs trays. What does it matter when loading mags or storing cast bullets.
