Grainger sells them as new. Not cheap. 49E drums have the gasketed lid.

I’ve been able to find barrels for free on CL. There’s a free section, just have to watch.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

come to think of it ... one of my first 55 gallon feeders was one that had the solid lid with bungs. About 4 inches from the top, it had been cut with a torch or cutoff saw (to form a lid) and the barrel (non-lid portion) was slightly bent in in several spots where the lid would slide down over the barrel to a very snug fit. Worked like a charm (until mesquite creek in northern Burnet county got to flood stage and the feed headed to the gulf of Mexico).
in other words, no need to buy a barrel with banded or snap ring type lid ... all DIY.

Looking for a 55 gallon drum in the Midland Odessa and Abilene area. I've got some empty 30 weight oil drums, you can have on one condition, don't get a torch anywhere near them. I've had one friend killed and another injured severely (Lost a leg and part of this hand). both thinking they could safely cut the drum with a torch.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.
