Organizing My Ammo

[sandman99and9]

I had some free time yesterday and decided to clean out the closet and organize my ammo supplies. What do you guys use and how do you store it ?? I bought a $6 label maker from wally world and labeled the ammo cans. Have you guys found a certain type of ammo can to work better than others ? Here is what they look like now. The plastic box has all my cleaning gear inside plus a few misc tools/acc.

Sandman, could you tell us what size box that is that's full of PMAGs? I have 3 different sized ammo cans - none allow me to organize and fit in such a manner. The cans are narrower, and too short. Unfortunately, they've also been painted over, and I have no markings to go by.

Those are SAW cans. A .50 can fits inside of it actually.

Thanks a ton! Now I know precisely what I need to be on the lookout for.

I knew they must be a bit deeper, and obviously wider... but longer, too. Looks like a perfect solution for me. Once located, I'll be doing similar to store mine.

HAHA, I saw the thread title and thought "ammo cans and a label maker"!

Tape and a sharpie works in a pinch.

SAW boxes are the shit. Like a .50 can but a little wider and taller and fits GI mags with ranger plates perfect. 500 loose with loader in the .30 cal can next to it completes my training class load-out. 75 grain Black Hills in the black mags, more training ammo in the tan ones.

Can anyone recommend a net source for SAW boxes?

Thats where I got mine at. I saw some at the last gun show in orlando but they wanted $15-$20 but they were in great shape. Plus no shipping charges so I bought 2 but was spending money on ammo and other goodies. They also had .50 cal and 20mm boxes too. My handwriting sucks so I like the clean look of the labels. Plus I used it for some storage boxes I have in the closet, mostly books and odds' n ends.

Hey guys, am I gonna get bashed for using a labeler ?? I could put a colt logo on it or maybe one from olympic for shits and giggles !! I was at the evil wally world looking for ammo and happened to walk by them and picked one up.

p.s.
No ammo at all here in orlando :(

So are English!! (just kidding!) :D:D

I bought a couple of mortar round boxes and store everything from magazines to spare parts in them. They stack nice and don't look half bad.

Thanks. Will keep that in mind if I don't find any locally, or locally can't compete with their pricing.

Oh hell no. Not by me, anyway... My handwriting sucks so bad that a) *I* can't read it half the time, and b) doctors and pharmacists actually look up to me for my absolute butchery of the caligraphic arts.

Not by me. Labels are a hell of a lot neater. Not to mention that you have Pat Rogers in your corner.

The biggest problem with labels is that they can fall off if used in a not so perfect environment. I prefer a sharpie in big letters. If you want to be cool, use a military style stencil and yellow paint.
