What are you guys using to store your magazines?
I have all sorts that I need some storage solution for. Right now, they're just all piled up on a table or in range bags. AR (20s and 30s), Sig 550 (20s and 30s), 308 PMAGs, AK74, HK91, etc. There's got to be some nice solution that I'm not aware of. |
Me too!|

That's just something else to open. I was hoping for something where I could easily see what I have ready to go. Larue sells a nice solution, but it only fits 30rd AR mags. Quoted:

Ammo cans. .30 cal, 50, or 40mm. That's just something else to open. I was hoping for something where I could easily see what I have ready to go. Larue sells a nice solution, but it only fits 30rd AR mags. Then keep a few in a chest rig. Seriously, ammo cans are the most practical storage solution for magazines (we ARE talking about loaded mags, right?). Water/dust proof, and easily transportable. Throw a silica packet in there for long-term storage. Pick your ammo can size based on what type of mags and how many. |
| Most of my PMAGs are in the small pouches in my range bags, six in a Blue Force bandoleer, ten in a Hawkepaks M249 Ammo Bag (fucker is heavy with some extra pistol ammo and the ten mags); probably another six in my BOB; and four in my plate carrier. Most of my GI mags are in a cardboard box, five are sitting on my dresser, and ten fit perfectly in a Pelican 1200 with only the lid foam. |

I got more mags than I know what to do with, I keep them in cheap Walmart foot locker boxes. |

A lot of wasted space in there. |

How many mags do you guys have? I thought I was doing good with 10! Quoted:

A big ass cardboard box. The ones I use - those are on a shelf, in a rifle, in a range bag, or in a case. How many mags do you guys have? I thought I was doing good with 10! I've got somewhere between 175 to 200 PMAGs and 45-50 Glock 17/19 mags. I store mine in ammo cans (.50 and 20mm), a small Pelican case, a cardboard box, and in pouches on my battle belt, bandoleer, and assault pack. |

I've never found myself lacking for mags at the range or on a trip, so have to ask why would I need 100 mags? Not criticizing and more power to ya if you can, just wondering if to stockpile and sell at next panic or epic foing? |

I lived through the AWB where I had to carefully nurse 30 year old beat-to-shit Colt magazines and pray when I dropped one the feed lips didn't get bent. Post-Sandy Hook, good luck picking up a dozen magazines if you decided you wanted the newer MagPuls instead of the less sexy older version. These are the salad days. AR15s and components (other than ammo) have never been cheaper, higher quality, or more widely available. It won't be this way forever. |

That is an aspect I hadn't really considered, but can definitely see being good to stash some away for future if no longer available. There goes more cash!

Quoted:
Magazine s are disposable when you are in a stressful situation. If you're worried about putting a mag away your ass is going to get shot because you were not paying attention. Long term storage ratio for me is at least 30 mags per rifle. Pistol I am lacking but would like to see 10 for each Quoted:

That's a hell of an event. |
