Ammo Cabinet

[spasm3]

I decided to get a cabinet for ammo storage, guns are kept in the safe. After getting it and putting it together. I need more shelves.

I can't find shelves separate to purchase, so I will make a couple of wood shelves to fit.

Overall, I like it. Now i need to stock it deeper!!

I've been using vertical file cabinets for years. They will hold stupid amounts of weight and you can lock them with Abus file cabinet bars. Best of all, most file cabinets are free, people give them away all the time.

See if the manufacturer sells just the shelfs.

Edit: Oh, I see you say you can't find more shelfs.

I like what you did there. I would like an ammo cabinet myself. I have had to settle for a small closet with mostly 50 cal cans stacked

Just check what the shelf weights are. This one is supposed to hold 180lbs per shelf.

I estimated my ammo to have crossed the 1k lb mark

Pretty nice. Those old .22 shorts are handy. I feed one into a 10/22 and use it to pop things like feral mangy cats and an occasional possum.

I've got some old ammo, I just want to keep it.

What have you got against possums?
Just curious.

I hates them, I hates them forever. Most wild critters I'm totally live and let live - but possums is icky. Nasty giant rats. I had one die up in my floor joists/insulation once. I put on a pair of rubber gloves to retrieve it and when I grabbed it, it's skin slid off and I got an armful of decomposed possum juice all down INSIDE my shirt. I think I threw up 3 times getting than nasty stinking thing out. Then of course I had to get up in there and spray GALLONS of bleach. 30 feet from my crawl space door, on the side that the house darn near sat on the dirt.

The possum species became my mortal enemy that day.

I keep everything in a dehumidified area. 45% max.

The best thing about possum innards n’ gopher gravey is they’re just as good the second day.
Cat fried rice is my favourite.

I was using a lockable gun locker.... not as good as a safe but secure.
Then one day I realized that I had a lot of weight sitting on one spot.

It's now spread out in ammo cans.
