Underground storage.

Desiccant packs can be reused. Stick them in the oven @ 250 for about 30-45 minutes. you are just heating off the moisture they have absorbed.

Dry Ice is fairly common near me (LA suburbs). Ralphs, Vons, and Walmart all have it in locked freezers in the front of the store. We also have a party/keg supply house that offers it.

Hello all,
I am new...please forgive if this has been covered, I did a few searches but can't find anything...

If one were predisposed to hide a weapon or two underground, would a regular surplus .50 cal ammo can with a good seal, be sufficient for a container provided the gun was well cleaned and oiled, the ammo in plastic, and desiccants utilized?

Assuming the owner cannot afford a commercially offered product, any suggestions?

Well, you may be able to use a large freezer bag, put a good amount of gun oil in it with your gun and throw it in the ammo can like that....but I tend to agree with Librarian on this.

One other thought, Pelican 1300's can be had for around 60 bucks. I have one that holds my Glock 30 w/8 mags. I would trust burying it in a heartbeat. Hose it off and it would be good as new-ish (seriously).

Burying metal bits and pieces won't help much when they show up with a ground penetrating radar unit. Archaeologists and Contractors have been using them for years, and law enforcement units have utilized them to search for soil disturbances, buried materials, and bodies as well. Buried PVC containers wouldn't be too tough to find, unless buried in a really out of the way location or area. Residential backyards wouldn't be the best place to bury items. Even so, I doubt anyone would make much effort to search with metal detectors or radar when the scale of recovery/confiscation is potentially so large in the aggregate.

On the other hand, I think this bit is probably true:

If you think it's time to start burying guns, it's time to dig them up.

If you have to burying them to keep them, it is way to late. You can't dig it up to plink. even hunting or self defense would bring out a lot of attention.

That being said, I am LDS (Mormon) so I try to keep at least a two year supply of ammo on hand. Being that I shoot a lot and work with a lot of new shooters, That equals a lot of ammo. Still, I have never buried ammo but I have stored some for many years with no problems or spiecial issues. I have though seen some powder go bad in loaded ammo and that can cause pressure spikes. Mostly from big temp swings and or from using surplus pulled down powder (old and unknow storage).

Yeah, that would never happen here. Because before the tryanny ever got that oppressive, I would hope the majority of gun-owning free U.S. citizens would be using their firearms ABOVE-ground first.

That IS what our founders intended for us to do with them.
