Magazine storage

[cow35f]

Owning several handguns and multiple magazines, I am trying to figure out a decent organized way for storage. How do you members store yours?

Rubbermaid storage bins.

All marked, Glock, 1911, AK47, AK74, AR, G3, FAL, etc.

I don't keep magazines. A buddy has some old comic books, though. He has them in these spiffy sealed bags with a desiccant pouch.

I have plastic bins like Kirk described. Mine are all mixed together because they can't be confused for one another except for Glock caliber differences. Never felt the need to separate them I guess, and I have some OCD issues.

I only have a few handguns but have a couple of friends with gaggles of rifle mags and glock mags. They typically store them in a rubbermaid type container as mentioned or in an ammo can with desiccant in the bottom.

Dang. I never thought about the Rubbermaid option. I've just been throwing them up on a shelf. Looks like I need to run to the store now.

Get the ones that lock. They get heavy once you fill them up.

Could you put clips in there, too?

MTM Case-Gard ammo boxes, rifle rest, gun cases, rifle guncare, gun cleaning and firearm maintenance centers, handgun cases, turkey hunting seats, arrow cases, recoil reduction rest, shooting bag, bird board, smallbore, gun care, clay target throwers

Lots of field boxes here.

If you own a Garand then sure! Why not ?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I have a smaller rubber maid, just for SKS, Mauser, M16 clips (clips are all double bagged in freezer bags).

Why? This is what's great about other people with a similar interest. Lots of ideas out there to help everyone out (even though they're not always good ideas). I've learned a wealth of knowledge and different ideas from other people. That's just one of the reasons that makes it so great. Now, if I could just figure out how to reload those darn 22LRs

If you fill it, just make sure you put your jock strap on before you move it.

Do you put anything in that can to remove moisture?

I use desicant packs I make myself

Yep, this is your answer. Magazines are consumables, buy them when you see them at good prices and stack them up in Rubbermaid storage bins. Plenty of storage bins on sale currently.
