You do that too?

Quoted: ................I have a completely dry finished basement so I put 10 of the cans on a pallet in the basement but I don't like the idea of having a pipe burst etc. with my ammo so close to the basement floor.  I might build the pallet up on cinder blocks to add some height.   I don't mean to hijack your thread but what do you guys think of the basement idea?  Its a dry heated basement.

About 6 months ago someone here mentioned their basement flooded. Ammo was on the floor or just off it but got wet. You should be ok in ammo cans (I use em too with a similar system to yours) but if it isn't a PITA to raise them it would at least give you some peace of mind.

ETA: except I don't have a basement. In the spring I clean out my wood burning insert and stack a dozen ammo cans in there. In the winter they go out into the enclosed garage.The rest go under beds, in closets, in corners. I'd give my left nut for some of the setups here.

In a closet next to the safe in ammo cans.

That's gotta be a "bunker."  No basement is that neat and tidy!

Looks cool!

Well, I AM asking "where"! I want more FREAKIN CHEAP ammo!

HOLY SH*T!!!! Thats is stockpile if I ever seen one. Are you willing to sell some of those AR mags I see on the shelf? If you are, then IM me with a price.

I'm still working on mine. I can't get too overblown. Everything "gun related" must fit in a standard bedroom closet. I need to get some ammo cans, but I just started my ammo collection a few months ago.

Oh, and FYI, we don't have basements in Oregon, AND I have to watch the floor loading. Approx. 200 pounds per square foot (human). These shelves probably have about 300-400 pounds on them total.

But, at least it's organized. And best yet...I have ammo for guns I don't own! Should last me about six months to a year for most of this stuff.

Although surprisingly, there's no .45ACP, .30-06, or 9mm.

Well, I just finished reorganizing. There's about 200 rounds missing, and the safe isn't in there yet.

Holy crap. Grand total > 12K rounds.

Maybe I need an intervention...

Nah, it never goes bad, [you'll be dead first with modern ammo] never gets cheaper, shipping never goes down, supplies are never constant, and if you get divorced, how many women want half of an ammo stash?

Nice shelves. I own a few of the exact same model. Local Club store here in WA named Costco sells them for around $65 per 7-8' stack.

My gf uses them in the spare bedroom for her junk. Since I wear the pants in this family .... my ammo is all stored upstairs in my office / den where I see it every day
