    It depends on the size. $209 - $419. The big one seemed to be the most appropriate size, and it was for a while. So we got a matching one to hold the overflow.

      It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

        Thanks!!

        ~$400 is very reasonable.....these might be a good option....

              For sturdy shelving, consider used pallet racking. It can support substantial weight.

              Most surplus outlets, etc., want obscene prices for the stuff. I got lucky and scored 24 lineal feet for free. I just had to drive about 5 miles to pick it up.

              For security, you would need to enclose it (build a room around it?) or use cables/chains with ammo cans.

                While I can see the logic, in practice over the last five years we haven't seen any problem. Of course you could always stick a couple wood blocks or bricks in the air space under the box, to the floor, to prevent sag.

                  You can add wheels to them too to make them more mobile. And somewhere around here is a post by someone who painted their ammo job box and it came out pretty cool.

                    This would probably work great




                    A friend found a used one on CL for a few hundred bucks.

                        I bought a Flammable Safety Cabinet off OfferUp. I have it in my garage so it blends in with my detailing chemicals. Works great and the model I have can be locked with my own padlock along with the key that goes to the thing

                          Stacked ammo cans, 3x3 or 2x4, with a little space in between for access, and separated by caliber and type.

                          The true best way to store is just the original packaging, don't spend money repackaging or 'securing' if you don't need to.

                            Or cut the feet off and bolt it down in your man cave. It'll make a nice coffee table..I mean beer table...

                              Can I get a Safariland or GCODE holster for it though?
