garnaz 215 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have a couple rifles I'm itching to shoot. With ammo in shit situation as it is which is better to hold onto for storage? I have equal amount of lacquer coated and I believe poly coated. I know temperature and humidity are big factors for storage. Just would like to know if one or the other is better or does it even make a difference? Tried search nothing came up. If someone could direct me link that would be fine also.

BrutalGardener 205 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Definitely mil spec sealed and lacquer-coated! Polymer-coated steel casings are very prone to rusting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richUK 90 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) I shoot laquered Russian milsurp,some of it is dated 1967 and it goes bang every time so it certainly keeps! Edited April 25, 2013 by UKAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 You can always store it in military surplus "air tight" ammo cans. I keep all my ammo sealed up nice and tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I keep all my ammo sealed up nice and tight. ^^^THIS^^^ Also I collect "SilicaGel packets from electronics and whatnot and toss a few in the can when sealing is up. Keeping your ammo dry and within a normal temp will make it keep virtually forever. Macbeau... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
