| Anybody use these for long term storage, GTG or no? |
| I got one from Bass Pro and its great for a general gun box, but there is no seal, so no, I wouldn't use it for ammo. I use mine for all my shooting accessories and tools. They cost the same as gunshow GI ammo cans so there is no real reason to use them for ammo. |
|
My biggest problem is that these are plastic boxes and flex. Given this, when I pick up a heavy one, the seal it no longer sealed as the plastic flexes and a gap opens.
I use them for cleaning supplies and other commonly used items as a quick grab container. Not for long term storage of anything. |

I don't know if they're the same, but I have three of the Remington (Flambeau) dry boxes from Walmart. If they're not the same box, then they're very similar.
I use one as an ammo caddy for range trips. I keep accessories (baynets, scopes, lights, batteries, etc.) in another, and my AR tools in the other . Even though they're advertised as "dry" the dinky seal in them doesn't inspire confidence. I wouldn't store ammo long-term in one. |
| I have a couple of different makes and none of them are 100% waterproof but make more than adequate storage/transit boxes. I use one for my range box, two to store magizines and the others to store other stuff (one is dedicated to black powder cleaning stuff) I bought two Flambeau boxes the other day at Gander Mountain for about $4.00 more than surplus GI Cans. Thaey are a lot largrer and fit my needs better. I still have plenty of GI Cans for ammunition. |
