LONG TERM AMMO STOR AGE
BEST WAYS TO STORE AMMO
STORE AMMO SO IT WILL LAST
Hi it's AlaskaGranny
the enemies of your ammunition
are heat humidity and temperature fluctuations
actually destroy your ammunition
if you are going to make the investment and want to have your ammo for whenever you want to go shooting
you need to keep it away from high heat environments
say you want to keep it in your car
the summer sun can easily get up to 150 degrees
the temperature where ammunition begins to deteriorate
you also want to be sure if
your garage is uninsulated
the temperature will go up and down from summer to winter
fluctuations can be harmful to your ammunition
the thing I am most concerned with
in this environment
I want to have ammo in my bunker which is extremely
humid it is under the ground
stays very cool but it's humid moisture is and enemy to my ammo
so I have not kept any there even though I have other supplies there
I realized
after talking to the guys at 907 Surplus in Anchorage
that's what they have these GI issued ammo cases
alaskagranny how can you not remember that is what they are designed for
protecting and keeping the military ammo
military ammo safe and dry
said this is the perfect application
I have two of them now
explain to me how to use them
I can have a handgun here and ammo
and other calibers of ammunition for firearms I may have with me when I go out there in this one
I have a handgun here
it's in a case I think will help protect it
and several boxes of ammo for this particular gun
I even have a few desiccant packets to keep them a little more dry
pile of silica gel packs those absorb moisture
if moisture gets in they should still be okay
make sure I choose one with an intact rubber gasket
take a little bit of gun oil
moisten along here
make sure this won't corrode
seal it up carefully and put it where is isn't
directly on the ground and it should last
like drug dealers bury these things with
their cash in their yard so it
if it's safe for that it should be good for this
that is my new plan
I have 2 of these big GI issue ammo cans
store a firearm and
an assortment of ammo
at my bunker and I will have a firearm where ever I happen to be please be sure to store guns and ammo safely and keep them away from those who shouldn't have them
