Black Rifle Disease is getting out of control.

How you guys keep all of your parts organized for various retro builds?
Build a Box seems nice, but expensive.

I have a big footlocker for mags, parts, etc and just keep labeled gallon zip lock bags for each build. Although the more expensive pieces I keep in my safe.

It's not the nicest system but it doesn't waste space which I don't have much to spare.

I love these little plastic boxes from Target. I wish they were a little longer, so they'd fit rifle length gas tubes, but that's about my only complaint.

Barrels still have to be stored outside of them too, but I have some bigger boxes that they fit in.

I'm keeping the parts for my Gau build in a cardboard box labeled with what I'm building and do not throw away. It's an old noveske upper box

Maybe Trimdad will be along to post a pic of his boxes. He has more builds in boxes than anyone I know.

I have one of those build boxes that my early 604 lived in for a long time!

They are very nice and good for keeping everything organized and protected and once you finish the build in there you now have an empty box to start your next build
