  • Ammo can stencils?

    You know, I've found it really damn hard to find stencils for ammo cans. Does anyone know where you can purchase them? It would be really nice to find someone with a stencil machine, but I would be happy with standard GI LC stencils for .45, 5.56, 7.62x51, etc.

    Rick Larsen makes all sorts of military stencils and does a good job.

              He'll do custom stencils. Just show him what you want and he will make them.

                  by my calculations it will cost me a fortune since he charges by the character.

                    well if its just the caliber thats not a lot of manual labor.

                    for one offs and objects with a lot of contours and elevations :

                    print onto contact paper, cut, attach to object, paint, remove contact paper.

                      Hit up Mike at Totally Graphic Designs: http://www.tgdracing.com/index.html He can make some vinyl stencils and is reasonable. Tell him I sent you.

                        Well, I took your advice and spent the afternoon with an x-acto knife.

                        Didn't turn out too bad. Decided to only stencil the top so I could swap out lids depending on the contents. Not too bad for grade trash ammo cans I picked up for cheap at Omaha.

                          i can cut them out of vinyl next time, and just pick out the centers.
                          it wont take long or cost much if you pick them up.

                            Do you have cutter? If so, can I supply you with an illustrator file?
