vf1000ride Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Couple hundred in the safe in mags and on clips. Plenty more spread between sealed spam cans, 50cal cans and wooden crates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Ammo cans1. It's sealed and keeps air out. Lasts longer.2. It's sealed and keeps water/humidity out. Lasts longer.3. It's sealed and is safe in a fire. In a fire the springy top will let gas out without the trauma of pieces of metal flying all around.

Gump Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 good point. I was thinking plastic totes from dollar general and stick them in the basement since a fire, the fire department would just flood the basement. i need to hit up a army navy store. I have one ammo can but it's full and not very big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sealed and is safe in a fire. In a fire the springy top will let gas out without the trauma of pieces of metal flying all around.I've found this to not be the case with some ammo. I now zip lock and spray the ammo with a light oil inside an ammo case to reduce corrosion. The boxes themselves get put in places where fire is least likely to reach them. Don't need a bunch of fire fighters running the other way while my house burns down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 All my stuff is loaded too. Doesn't that affect the springs after a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Doesn't that affect the springs after a while?Loading a magazine while being shot at sucks. I've heard both, that leaving them compressed hurts them. Or it's the loading, unloading and reloading of the springs that wears them out. I don't care to much. Like I said, an empty magazine does no good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Modern mag spring are pretty tough. I have a couple dozen m16 mags for the M4's loaded at any given time. The failures in feeding that come from a "bad mag" are mote often the boby of the mag failing (broken weld on the back) or sticking follower. I store most ammo in .50 and .30 cal ammo cans like several other do here. My Federal Match for my .308 is mostly still in the origional boxes, not counting the 100 rounds or so in the drag bag and the rounds stowed on my rifle it's self.
