Ammo Organization Simplified with Stack-On Ammo Cabinets

You need more ammo

Hell, I'd need about 8-10 of those! I just keep mine in .30 & .50 cal steel ammo cans that are on a pallet on my basement floor. Each can has a few dessicant packs that are changed out as needed. I would like to be able to hide them better though.

I switched to a browning safe and retired my stack on for part kits extra stocks and pins and ammo.

My tractor supply just has 27 liberty safes that will never sell.

I have the same cabinets. Picked them up for $99 each. Have 4 of them. Now price have double or even triple.

Well if one has a LOT OF ammo it’s recommended that one purchases a dedicated magazine for safety especially if you reload and keep large quantities of powder on hand. Do not mix powder and primers in the same containers, if anything they must be in separate containers with the primers stored out and away from the house. Also I might add that if your containers are in the basement, you might want to raise the cabinets off of the floor by a few inches. Moisture can be a problem. Invest in some ammo cans and store them in the cabinets. I had a Steelcase office closet I bought used from a surplus dealer and I locked my ammo cans in this cabinet. They were in airtight cans and neatly labeled so I know exactly what in each can.

I built a platform for mine to get them up off the floor no more getting on my knees to see what's in the bottom.

Very nice room and organized.

A place in the thumb of Michigan as a bunch of these a few months ago on sale in different colors.

I use metal filing cabinets that I got for free when offices changed to digital file and did away with paper files.

I bought one. Added weather stripping to the inside door frame. And two rechargeable dehumidifiers. What surprised me was it as made in Mexico. And it actually seamed heavier duty than their older made in USA models.

Thats a quick fix. I bought three six foot tall school lockers for my storage problem. They have the same locking set up as stack on's, just not as pretty. I bolted them together and attatched them to the wall high enough to store 50 cal ammo cans underneath.

Thanks for the info. Ive been looking for a place to store my ammo and something like this would work for my needs. Its a bit more than id like to spend but the layout and function is what im looking for. definitely an option to consider if i find a good deal.

Those are nice. I’d like to see how many 50/30cal ammo cans they hold cause I keep mine canned from humidity or possibly tornado damage etc.

Tractor Supply has the red Stack-On ammo cabinet on sale right now for $206.99! www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/stack-on-firepow…

The hinge doesn’t concern me. I have a mixture of dial/kepad safes. Exposed and unexposed hinged cabinets. They’re all secured to the floor and wall. There’s still 4 points of contact on the inside. A lock is only a deterrent for the unmotivated. The 18 gun 21 in. x 18 in. x 55 in. cabinets are my personal favorites

That's a cute, tiny collection.

I'm assuming you go through this ammo quickly and are not worried about the effects of temperature and humidity. All of my ammo (admittedly not even a fraction of what you have) is stored either in steel ammo cans in my basement (off the floor) or in my gun safe. But my ammo probably has a shelf life easily greater than 10 years because of this.

I always put the date of purchase on my boxes of ammo for easy rotation.

I use mine as a grab and go cabinet for the family for range trips. Top shelf is rimfire middle is handgun and bottom shelf is rifle/shells and they toss small range bags in the bottom. Keeps them out of my main storage area and lets me inventory easier, this thing can hold a lot of ammo and mags.
