      If you vacuum sealed it the ammo can seems like overkill to me. I have seen ammo come out of ammo cans in perfectly serviceable condition after 50+ years of storage, I watched a guy open a can from the 1950s civilians marksmanship program the other day, the date stamp was 1951 I believe. Ammo cans an invention from when the army still actually bought the best not the one a politicians friend was cutting him in on.

      @@keldon_champion its not over kill because its preserving the ammo even better which is never a bad thing. Also that ammo stored for 50 years doesnt mean all the ammo stored is in the same condition. You saw a guy open one. Does that mean if 100 cases opened all are the same? Nope. Also depends on conditions. As far as military goes, they dont store their ammo in a boxes in a garage. You can buy a brand new car and it still can break down. So whats wrong with extra protection? Nothing.

    YES. This is correct. ALSO, I have heard many, many first-hand stories from friends who are firemen, and those ammo cans keep the ammo safe during a fire -it won't pop-out cases or bullets. BUT, after it's cooled-down to-touch, you will find the ammo is destroyed. You will find a layer of lead, brass, and copper inside the ammo can. BUT, the ammo won't injure anyone during that fire --it will stay inside the can.
    If the Fire Department sees/hears ammo popping-off during a structure fire, they will let it burn.
    But if you have your ammo stored in ammo-boxes, the Fire Department will be safe, and they'll fight the fire.
    These ammo cans are the best, most convenient way to store your ammo anyway.
    So they are a win-win.
    BUY SOME.

    I’ve had ammo cans that weren’t sealing correctly. I purchased color changed desiccant packets. When I had re-inventoried my ammo, I found many of the packets had changed color in about a year’s time. Never thought my basement was that damp so I purchased a dehumidifier. That seemed to help immensely. Now I have began a schedule where I change my furnace filters, smoke detector batteries and dry out my desiccant packs every 6 months.
    My advice get color change desiccant and inspect your stash annually. Best insurance for the investment.

  • @kuzadupa185
    @kuzadupa185 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Good idea to check your cans both outside and in for any rust. Any found, rub off with sand paper, wipe with alcohol wet rag, wait to dry and then apply 2 to 3 coats of antirust/rust convert paint. When dry, i like to wipe the inside of the can and lid with a damp rag thats damp with barisol, especially to wet and wipe the gasket. All ammo gets placed in a large ziploc/plastic bag, with either a spoon of kitty litter or a small packet of dessicant beads, before being sealed in the ammo can. Date and type of ammo is written on the outside and a piece of plastic tape is placed over it so it isnt rubbed off when stored. Depending on location and purpose, ammo can also be vacuum sealed packed, and then placed in a plastic/pvc tube, with both ends primed and glued and sealed with end caps. Which are then placed in a cave or in the dirt, at least 4 to 6 feet deep and placed vertical so the surface areas smaller for any accidentally metal detecting adventures finding it....
    There are other options but these are some of the more successful ones!
