Can openers wanted

Post by CanOpenersplz » Wed Aug 29, 2012 3:34 pm

As my nick ssuggests, I'm here for can openers. Food is too much hassle to send through customs and whole MRE packs are costly to ship anyway...I'm just want to build a collection of can openers. Got the FRED, P38, P51 but I know there is lots more out there. Contact me via PM or post here...I would get duplicates if possible as well.

Edit: Also interested in some folding stoves and matches. :)

Very interesting collection idea - if I ever run into anything I'll shoot you a PM. For now all I've come across are P38's and P51's. In any case, welcome to MRE Info!

Thank you! :D

Want Aussie FREDs? We're drowning in them, but I assumed getting them through ebay was easy enough.

There's also someone selling the Swedish ones on ebay who hasn't responded to my enquiries as to whether or not he will ship them out of the US, I've just got Czech and Israeli ones from there, and I'm waiting for my contact in Spain to see if he can rustle up some of the big black Spanish ones.

Hi,
I've got a few French cousins of the P38 (used in the "C" ant "T" rats before 1986 and the RCIR). I haven't got any FRED yet... :wink:

I'm happy to buy the French openers off you, as FREDs are available on ebay if you like, but if you want to trade I'll need to get in touch with a friend in the military, he's always knee deep in them.
