Try your local Army surplus store outlets. They usually have a few and that's generally where I pick my tins up.

Before you completely discount them - the plastic ones are lighter, don't rust, usually have newer seals, are lockable, stackable and are designed to match the internal capacity of standard 50 cal boxes. They are thankfully also available in non-'zombie' pattern! I stopped using metal ones completely after I found the plastic ones. There's also a 30 cal version (half height) which I find a more suitable size for a day's ammo.

I am with Rox on this.

I rarely use them to move ammo about in but if I did not have a reasonable collection of them I would use the plastic ones, they are very good.
