    Does anyone know an in-stock source for the 10 liter/2.5 gallon Spectre water cans or another brand of equivalent form factor? Thanks.

    It's been over a year since I last bought from them. If they don't have it on their page give them a call. They used to always stock them.

    I bought two of them in October last year but today I could not find them at their site. A phone call to B-Q is the next step. They used the nickname "The Runt" for the 10 liter Scepter water cans.

    I've had good luck finding both the water and gas cans on eBay. Looks like there are a few sellers out there with water cans right now.

    But it doesn't look as if there are any on eBay that are the half-sized 10 liter version

    I will try to get over to Ft Irwin next weekend and see what I can find out. BQ has a store there. if not I will call over there.

    And Recon-No worries, thanks for the response. I ordered 2 from LCI yesterday. But am always looking for more. Planning on putting at least 4 on my M416, as well as some fuel ones. Calling a guy down south tomorrow regarding MFCs.

    Look into AJIK Overland Exchange. I think he advertises here on ExPo. He has had them in the past and might have some now.
