    Default M852 Ammunition Can? Any collector value?

    While cleaning up and re-organizing I came across a fifty caliber size US ammo can. It's marked as follows.

    460 CRTG 7.62 MM
    MATCH M 852
    NOT FOR COMBAT USE
    CARTONS
    LC-92A186-004

    I'm wondering if it might have some collector value. Instead of just using it for storage and throwing it on a shelf maybe someone would value it as an addition to a match rifle kit or possibly a sniper collection. I know the can came from a friend who served in 10th SFG SOTIC. Maybe someone who has an M40 build. I know those were popular back when McMillan released a bunch of original stocks and bottom metal. I wonder if it might be worth posting on a few sites like Snipers Hide, Sniper Central etc.

    Thanks for any insight fellas.

    A quick search didn't reveal any special collector pricing for either the ammo or the can. But I'm no expert. I have a can of the newer stuff...LR118 I think it is...it doesn't seem to be any more valuable than GMM or equivalent high-end match stuff.

    worth about 8-15 bucks just like all cans that size , absolutely 0 collector value , it only has value as a can , nothing more
