Weel.....that’s not too informative now is it.

Basically, Blitz gas can company just went belly up. They supply 75% of the nation’s supply of gas cans.

Yeah Blitz was taken down by tort lawyers, primarily in Texas.

But not to worry, Chinese mfgrs will rush in to fill the gap.

Terrible cans anyway. The models from years and years ago are fine, if you don’t depend on them. The ones with the lawyer-proof nozzles are just useless.

Everytime one of these companies goes out of business, I just think “If I had a sheetmetal shop...”

I know a few of you out there must have a sheet metal shop.

Blitz went down because they couldn’t accept the liability of producing the politically correct gas can.

Its been in the works for a year.

I had a 20 year old John Deere can and was heart broken when I backed over it and trashed it.

A basic Rock River model will set you back less than a grand. I have one and love it.

Go to gunbroker.com Type in AR 15 in the search box and go from there. All types of selections and prices with overall info to help you get started. Like an ebay but for weapons and other gear listed also. Hope it helps.

But now you can’t seal it, because it has an oddball cap size and you can’t buy a closed cap for it, only the punch-out kind.
