| How do you guys store your ammo? Closet, foot locker, safe? I have ammo cans all over the bedroom floor and my wife is tired of tripping on ammo cans. What's a good method for securing all these cans? |
what kind of safe is that/? I'm in the process of looking for another safe and have seen a few in my price range. My current safe is in "our" closet which means it's full of her shoes and clothes and I can barely reach the safe.

Holy shit it almost looks like my closet , except I have 12 cans, I think we even have the same safe !!! who made that safe ? |
If he has the same one that I have , I got it at walmart they don't sell them all the time it's a seasonal item ... The best $300. 00 I spent !!!

Thats a simple and reliable setup you got there!

| It's the Sentry Safe from Wally-World. Paid $267.00 out the door. Works great, only holds 7 long guns without cramming though. Have my pistols hanging on the door. Got the pegs at local safe/locksmith company, they screw right into the sheetmetal behind the carpet. |
Hey man can you please take a picture of the inside of your door . Thanks...

Don't any of you guys have a basement? I keep all my ammo in ammo cans or if it's in a sardine can I just leave it in that. They all sit on heavy duty shelves in the basment. I actually have rooms under the concrete floored garage, and all the walls are cinder block. The temp is very consistent; I'd say around 55-60 deggrees year round. And I keep a duhumidifer going in the basement year round also. I think I have 3 SAW cans; 4-5 .50 cal cans; 2 .30 cal cans; and 1 of those enormous 20mm or 30mm cans that have dual latched covers- no hinges. I don't have much ammo, but I'm working on it. |
NO, I wish I did. I need to find some kind of ammo cabinet. I thought about like a metal locker or something. I've probably got about 10 cans of ammo. I would like something to lock them in and out of sight.

I used to have a sentry safe similar to what those look like. Mine cost right around 300 bucks with tax and shipping weight, with skid and stuff attached, was around 200lbs I think. It is light enough to go on the 2nd floor and I moved it around myself, up and down a few steps and what not. As for storage of ammo, I buy ammo by the case whenever possable. Generally it comes in a nice heavy duty cardboard box, thinking wolf ammo on that one, or I am buying surplus and it comes in nice metal ammo cans these days since I am buying the 308 at aim with 980 rounds per ammo can. I actually repack those back to their 1260 capacity so I get empty ammo cans for keeping loaded mags or other stuff in. Right now I have some in a garage and some in my apartment. Neither will see huge temperature fluctuations but the stuff in the garage will be getting moved this fall I reckon. Overall ammo handles serious temps pretty well if you research what military ammo might have seen temp. wise. Then again that might be part of why it got surplussed. |
