Project Ammo Storage!

[AdidasCJ]

Had to get the ammo out of the closet as the wife was getting mad it was infiltrating her side and her shoes.... SOOOO instead of arguing, (as it is well known that is a LOSING argument from the START) I set out after a different storage area. Found the Job Box ammo storage idea and a guy from AR15.com that gave me some inspiration for paint!

Found the box for 200 with casters and locks from a guy around the corner at a yard sale. New safe wasnt practiable at this point as I am planning a move from the god forsaken state, so i didnt want to buy a big safe (that I am eyeing) and than have to move the damn thing AGAIN. So ill wait on the safe till I get to the USA. But I was OFF TO THE RACES with the job box!

Got her home:

Very nice.

Mine too were getting out of control especially with my stockpiling due to internet sales ending by late December. I went the shelving route and will just place my ammo cans on the 5 shelves and hope they can handle the weight. The unit arrives in the mail on Friday.

I like it and have my own job box for the same use.

However...
If its that easy for you to haul off, how easy will it be for a burglar?
Bolt it down if you can

Nice job.
When I moved I put the 360# of lead in a box on wheels and it rolled right up into the moving van. Wheels make it so much easier.

For the time being, it is getting bolted to the house foundation. THat way they will have to atleast put SOME effort into getting it. Plus I made sure its kinda camouflaged as not to draw outright attention. Nothing is completely fullproof... but atleast its just not lose 50 cal cans.

That looks awesome! Thinking about going that route myself. How did u go about lining the inside? What type of material is that and where did you get it? Great job!

Thanks. It is the same carpet I lined my safe with when I redid it. You get it at Homedepot in their big roll area where they cut it for you. Fairly cheap per sqft. Used locktit spray adhesive (Dont get the cheaper spray glue... it SUCKS).

Nice job!

When you fill that up you won't be able to move it. A full 50 cal can weighs around 40 lbs. if you put 20-25 cans in that your looking at 800-1000 lbs. I don't think the bearings on the castors will take that.

I've got several truck toolboxes I picked up for cheap at yardsales for the same thing. Work great! They managed to keep water out during all of this winters torrential downpours, so I guess they're good enough. Condensation builds with temp change of course, but everything that moisture can damage is inside a secondary waterproof container inside the boxes.

...I recommend putting some sort of system in to slightly raise anything off the very bottom of it, for the condensation thing. 1/4" square steel bars would work. Or a couple of 1x2's. Or whatever.

Good job! Now that you have enough room for all your .22LR ammo, where are you going to put the 9mm, .45, .40, .223, .308, 12ga, 10mm,, .357, .44Mag, etc... A Job Box for each caliber! Do they make a job box that nests other job boxes?

Very nice handy work. It came out fantastic.

[Mr. Beretta]

Looks great. Congrats!

Now that is funny! Made me laugh out loud!

This is an awesome box and now I want one!!! Shoot, I wish I had a container and space for it!
