Ammo Storage

[Brian]

This section of the forum is not public.

Wait, so how do we know which areas are public and search engine indexed and which aren't? I had no idea.

That job box idea looks cool. I'm also debating the "gun room" vs. separate safes and storage idea too. Saw some pics of a guy who built a metal cage in his basement because he didn't want to drop the cash on a full concrete safe room. That might be a mid-term option that still gives your family/kids access to your basement during tornadoes, etc. but keeps your guns and ammo locked up. All you guys who reload with kids around, I'm assuming your locked powder magazine has to be separate from your ammo stash too, right...?

I always just "logged out" and saw which sections I could see and the ones I couldn't.

I am thinking about putting expanded metal around the room that the ammo and safe are in. Even though the room will not be visible after I get Tim K to hook me up.

I had no idea that filing cabinets were that strong.

Most of them aren't, but this one is probably at least 50 yrs old. They used to be made in the US and they were much stronger and heavier back then!

Last one i had was the fireproof style. weighed 300+ lob. It was concrete wedged in between the metal skins.

Sounds like one of our office safes back in the early 80's.

They Still use them, My company uses the Mosler ones pretty much haven't changed since then. I have one manufactured back then sitting next to a brand new one. Same thing except for the digital combo lock.

i was able to pick up some old lockable bank teller cabinets with drawers a while back for a good deal works great.

so my ammo safe is full and the last set of ammo boxes i filled had to out to the shop, the job box is a great idea, as a former contractor i am ashamed i did not think of it, i have been trying to come up with an idea for security for the ammo that had to out there.

I'm still looking for a set of padlocks that don't have a brass core that can be drilled easily. I heard American Lock has a drill-resistant lock, but haven't been that far in research.
