Lets see your Ammo Lockers

[offrdmania]

I have a small stack-on cabinet but its bursting at the seams. Its time to pick up a much larger locker. Lets see how others store their ammo.

Much to my wife's dismay, I don't keep ammo, or for that matter any type of survival gear/tools in one place.

I do have a couple of lockable filing cabinets for certain calibers though. The rest are in various locations. The ole eggs in a basket thing

I'm grabbing a storage locker from HD. Big, keeps the kids out, and relatively inexpensive ($400'ish).

Keeping ammo in an upright locker/safe is inefficient and a PITA.

I just stack .50 cans in my vault. Way too many for a locker.

I don't put my ammo in a locker it's stacked on shelves and easy to get. Don't worry it ain't going to get stolen. At least not mine but maybe yours will.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Just one? I have several and still have full ammo cans stacked up all around them.

A 1/4" 2" long eye screw, 1 lockwasher, 2 nuts, 2 fender washers and a padlock adds about $4 to the price of a 50 cal ammo can. Most of that is for the padlock.

A dremel tool and some cut off wheels to shorten the eye screw adds some room but not necessary at all. Does require a jigsaw and drill to cut a small rectangle slot hole in the flap of the ammo can.

i just stack in closets.

This well established company has good price padlocks. You can get them all keyed alike. When you buy more you can also get all of them in the same key as your first order years ago. 50 cans = 50 padlocks.

That is impressive!

The problem with most locker type storage cabinets is they are made of flimsy sheet metal. Designed to secure office supplies from sticky fingered employees not hold heavy ammunition.

Even a large gun safe will not hold much ammo, short have having a large walk in vault. There really is no great way to secure ammo, probably the best way is to just not have it visible. Again much easier said then done, if you have a large amount of it.

Job site boxes are a nice way to go as well.....they aren't too horribly priced and can be picked up at Home Depot. You can secure them to the floor as well if you'd like. Another calgunner had one he carpeted the inside like a safe and it came out rather nice I believe he got it off of Craigslist
