where do you have your ammo stored?

[jimmy21 18]

I currently have all my ammo stored in my gun safe and the safe isn't huge. With the purchase of my latest guns, the 7.62 saiga and my ar15 plus 500 rounds of 7.62 and .223, my safe is way too full. I decided i need to figure out a new place to store my ammo. Id really like to just buy a giant safe, but im in a rental right now and don't see myself livign here very long. The safe i have now is hard enough to move, i dont' want one even heavier. The 2 options i have come up with are eithe a heavy duty plastic tote with a pad lock on it or a small safe. What do you guys do?

[DrThunder88 912]

I'd put it in a plastic tote with "Chanukah decorations" or some such on the outside.

[DogMan 2,343]

Most of my ammo is stored in a big metal "job box" like they have for construction sites.

[pimpmastak76 21]

I just use a footlocker with a padlock on it. I also keep a can of Damprid inside.

[jbanzai 113]

.50 cal ammo cans stashed in the back of various closets, behind furniture, the garage, etc. I couldn't imagine trying to lock it all up in a safe.

[mogunner 240]

.50 cal ammo cans here too, mine are on the shelf under my workbench in the basement workshop, climate controlled and maintained at 30% humidity for storing my powder coat stock.

[devildogdakota 804]

I have mine in .50 cal ammo cans outside next to my propane tank rigged up to a piano wire tac welded to the bottoms with the other end wire up to a couple of claymores.

The 2 boxes of .22 that I keep are safely locked away in my safe.

[Sim_Player 1,939]

I buried all mine in my neighbors back yard.

 

Actually it's all zip-locked, in military totes, in my attic until I find a better place for it. I want to be able to move it at a moments notice, but that shit is HEAVY!

 

[G O B 3,516]

My stuff is stored in the Boom Boom Room! As a deterrent to theft, I keep everything in a state of 'strategic disarray'. The place is so junked up that I can't find anything so thieves are going to have a worse time!

[liberty -r- death 1,445]

Mine is in mil surp ammo cans and plano ammo boxes. Stored all over the place.

[IndyArms 10,186]

I sealed all of mine in vacuum bags with dessicant, then sealed THOSE inside several 12" PVC pipes and sunk them in the well out in the front yard... As long as nothing touches them... they should REMAIN sealed and dry inside... and who would think to look for BULLETS in a WELL?!!?!?! HAHAHAHA I think its the BEST place EVER to hide stuff... cause NO ONE knows where to look!!! LOL!!!

 

I kept 15 or 20 rounds on hand for JUST IN CASE... but the rest is underwater!

 

 

[Fallschirmjager667 729]

mine is stacked in dresser drawers next to my gun safe, i can't fit any in the safe as i can barely squeeze all my guns in there

[magsite20 1,664]

Seems like most of mine is neatly stacked on the shelves at Walmart.

[hutchsaiga 93]

Mines all in a mix of 50cal and 20 and 40mm surplus ammo cans with desiccant scattered throughout.

[theturtlepond 31]

Mine are above the safe in the dead bolted closet.

[1mile50 102]

I keep my .22 ammo in the top of gun safe #2. My other ammo in a utility chest. Components are stored in various designated cabinets.

lololol!!!!!

Well this is one spot http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/72979-office-furniture/page__hl__office

 

The rest, I am not telling

[Arik 565]

My ammo is stored in the backstop right behind the target

[MT Predator 2,294]

In regards to actual containers vs location. I stick with USGI ammo cans. Regardless where you stash them at your residence or elsewhere, they'll last a long time and keep a good seal. If you have room, add some desicant.

Here's an example of 7.62x39mm in a USGI 7.62 NATO can, exactly 480 boxed rounds.

You just have to get a variety and try them out. (.50 Cal, SAW ammo, etc.). SAW cans are nice and roomy for loaded mags, drums, and such. I even use 40mm cans which are even bigger. Great thing is, they all are designed to be stacked so stack away!

[BpS12 512]

I store mine in the fire resistant safe, in mags(empty mags are useless mags, lol). I used to keep them in plastic tool boxes in a corner, but then realized that Insurance Companies frown on "loose" ammo as many Fire Departments will let a house/rental complex burn if they learn of it. And that could leave me footing the bill for it.

 

I would go for a smaller fireproof safe. You can get another if you need it later.

[MT Predator 2,294]

I do store lots already loaded in mags or on stripper clips, still in USGI ammo cans. Small fireproof safe? I could fill up several with just one caliber, let alone fill up some big gunsafes. Keep it in ammo cans, you can stash it by any means, bury, throw in pond, etc. No need for a fireproof safe. Just don't smoke in bed.

I would say but then the Govt trolls spying on this site would know where to look.

i invite anyone who wants to try to come cut into my safe to get at my guns, the few loaded mags that are in there, and all the black powder that's also stored in there

Its out on the floor in the extra bedroom.

[preparehandbook 326]

• I keep some assorted ammo in my pockets, for imediate use
  
• my pistol ammo is mixed in with the cat litter in the catbox.
  
• I keep my 12 and 20 gauge alternated in the magazine of my 870
  
• I stopped storing rimfore ammo in the babie's crib because of all my relatives whining about "choking hazards" so now it's in ziplocks in the fishtank

... and who would think to look for BULLETS in a WELL?!!?!?! HAHAHAHA

Indy, I think instead you should be asking yourself who might find the 'bullets' in your well haha

"and all the black power that's also stored in there"\

 

How do you store "black power" in a safe?

 

I've read that the south was a "resevoir of black power" and that "much of the black power originates in the ghetto", but those are pretty big areas....

 

Please answer, extra points if you can do it without sounding racist.
