Ammo storage options...

[Vinnie Boombatz]

Well soon we will all be stuck in our house so don’t worry about a burglar. Just shoot his face

I'm actually considered essential, so I still have to work while everyone else is home, or out stealing my stuff!

Thought about those as well. Also found a cabinet that I can bolt to the floor and back wall of the closet that's something like 17"x10"x55" that would work.

I have no grand ideas that it's going to stop a determined burglar. But it gets things a little more hidden and out of the way and it's just a deterrent. If someone really wants what's inside, they'll get it.

40mm cans.

When you can fill 3 EACH, of everycaliber you own, you're STARTING to be "allllllllllllriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..."

You know, if you pack enough of the ammo into the ammo cans, no thief can really carry that much away. This is my security measure for ammo.

24" isn't very wide and obviously presents you with some challenges. However, I can appreciate your space constraints.

It doesn't sound like security is a high priority and your looking to blend in. If so, you may consider an old, broken, 24" wide refrigerator or even a kitchen base cabinet or pantry depending on any height restrictions.

Or you could go with a Graffunder safe.

There isn't a safe in the world that can't be cracked. Certainly not a home safe or knaack box. Just put the ammo underneath your bed and trigger lock the guns if you have kids.

Don’t have any kids.

I nixed the idea of putting it in the narrow space in the closet and went with another location.

I ended up finding an old welder’s box on Craigslist. It’s almost perfect and just barely fits 5,000 rounds of 9mm and 750 shotgun shells, and its lockable and has holes in the bottom so it can be bolted down. Fully loaded so heavy AF (well over 250lbs). Two determined people could carry it off, and obviously you could just cut or pry the lock off, but it would take a bit more effort to do so than if it’s contents were just left out. Not a bad score for $40 for the box.

A bigger or another safe?

I hear ya OP, I don't think a safe is needed to store ammo. I really think a job box is the best way to go for storing ammo. It would even make a good coffee table in a man cave. Filled up, hec even half full there's no way 1 or 2 guys could take it. Bolting it down makes it even better.

any idea what make or model those are? Sounds like it's exactly what I'm looking for.

The one I got is a Homak that looks exactly like this one:

But it wasn't almost $300. Dang.

Costco is always a good source.

After I filled up my first gun safe, it was small so I bought 2 of the HF safes http://https://www.harborfreight.com...afe-64009.html just to store ammo in. Full of ammo, they were pretty heavy and I didn't put the wheels on! I bought a second much larger safe so those just sit now but the HF safes did what I needed and at a good value.

I have two Home Depot job boxes (the little versions), and I wish I had bought the standard sized. Both are stuffed and I need more storage.
