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.

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.

The local Lowes might have the safe as well. It'll only be in stock at the larger stores though!

Stacked ammo cans are the best + a dessicant pack. The truth be told you can stack case after case in a home (inside) closet in the original packaging. As long as your stash is kept from heat and humidity it will last far longer than you do.

You know, if you can get your wife to move out, you could store cans in her side of the closet.

+1 to that. I know for SURE that I do. I have nearly doubled my ammo cache in the past 12 months and hope to double it again in the next 12 months. |

How much does that safe weigh? can it be put on the second floor of a house, or should it stay on the first floor /slab? Im looking for a safe, but im a bit concerned about the weight issue.

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. |
