Loaded magazines?

[imarangemaster]

+1! I store all my ammo in ammo cans. Water and air tight, and stack neatly in the safe. I keep a loaded GI 30 in the weapon and 2 loaded 15s in the stock pouch. I grab it and have 60 rounds on the weapon. When I was a deputy, I sometimes had two 30s taped together in the weapon so I had 90 when I snatched and grabbed. That was a might cumbersome, though, so I reverted to a single 30 and 2-15s.

imarangemaster,

My question is how much ammo do you keep on hand, or how many safes do you have? I have two and I don't have room in either for the ammo. They are full of guns, knives, coins, and personal papers.

Maybe I keep too much ammo. I probably keep too large of quanities of 45 acp, 357, 44 mag, 30 carbine, 30-06. Then at least 2 boxes for all my other calibers. I keep it all in ammo cans also water and air tight stacked neatly, in a locked cabinet, but it takes up a lot of room. I'm sure I am not the only one with this issue.

Well I have a large safe, but less than 10 guns (three of them pistols) due to financial reasons. I have about 500 rounds 44 mag for the Model 29 and 500 for the 1911A1, 2 or 3 thousand 22s for the 10-22, about 1,000 9mm for my Glock 19, and about 1200 carbine for my CMP Inland. I traded 1500 rounds of 7.62x39 for 1,000 5.56 to be waiting for when I can afford to build an AR on the S&W M&P15 lower I have. The IO AK that went with the ammo is for sale to defray moving costs. In short, I have a large safe, but not a lot of guns! Not too long ago, I had three times that number of guns, but, oh well, that's life.
