Cheap ammo storage cabinet ideas?

[erict]

I'm not against storing ammo in sealed containers, boxes or anything to combat moisture. But I have yet to read anyone having issues with there ammo being stored outside these parameters. Even read some that have stored it in the garage in high humidity areas that still went bang after many years. So my question is, ammo being stored in your home with a consistent humidity level of 45-55% is it really necessary to keep it in sealed containers and or boxes?

probably not but ammo can is cheap, it can hold 300-400 bucks of ammo. A surplus ammo can and desicant than can be recharged is simple preventative as a percent of total value.

I leave out 9mm ammo I am going to shoot in a couple months.

My hordes of match ammo for rifles, nato surplus 5.56 and 7.62, and stuff I know I wont shoot for a year goes in ammo cans.

A couple years throw it on a shelf if you want. Long term storage and protection from water (flooded basement, Mississippi) ammo cans sitting on a shelf or stacked off the floor on something.

What do you guys think of Job-boxes for ammo?

That is what I have for ammo storage. All the ammo in sealed ammo boxes and locked in job box. Not going to pick up and haul away. Considering I have motion detector and motion activated camera as part of security system aimed at it I don't think it could be safer.

Nice idea!

I think they are a great idea, almost perfect for the job and they hold a LOT of ammo.
I got these pics from a thread on ARF.com to reference when I got a box for storage.
These pictures show how to place three layers of both 30 and 50 cal ammo boxes.
