| I don't have any of these, and I'm surely not affiliated with them but I have been looking at these for some time. Mag storage solutions. Looks like a neat way to store magazines. They make them for AR 15, AK 47/74, AR 10/G3/ FN/FAL. http://magstoragesolutions.com...images21/pic2800.jpg |

Go ahead punk, make my day
| Steralite 18qt clear storage boxes. You can fit 30 x 30rd in two stacked rows of 15, and on the side space remaining 10 x 20 standing up, or I suppose you could fit another 4 30s if you wanted to instead.
Not as tactical looking but they stack easily and you can get 6 for <$40. All my gun stuff / magazines is in Steralite or Plano storage boxes (Plano makes better parts bins, Steralite better mass storage solutions). |

| Good sources for SAW or 40mm cans? I would hate to spend double the price of the can to ship it. You are talking about the 17x6.5x10.5" cans? Doesnt seem that much bigger to me, but.... I do have an older model can of indeterminate make. Larger by far, lift off lid with 6 hinged latches (2 on each side, 1 each end) that even has a cardboard liner. It is currently storing ammo. Possibly 20mm?

I have lots that have only seen the light of day to insure all were accounted for in the box then taped back up and stored. Usually the box they come in for exactly the number you ordered.

Those are huge wastes of space, I can cram at least twice as many magazines in those cans. We are talking about magazines that wear items, disposable, and cost less than $15 each. They don't need to be coddled.

Agreed. You can easily fit 4 rows of 7 in an MTM or Plano plastic box. The dividers might make sense for organizing pistol mags (especially more expensive ones) for a trip to the range, but are a no-go for general AR mag storage, in my opinion. |

I got the TMC308 model, for my AR-10b (T); the magazines are more expensive, but they are not wear items and since I don't shoot it often, this way all the mags I got for it will not get lost or misplaced. Also, I've been using MTM products for my ammo for decades, these stupid boxes last a very long time. |

All magazines are wear items. Heck the entire gun is a wear item, there aren't too many parts on a gun that have an indefinite life. The only mags I baby are mags that I can't replace easily, like my P220-1 9mm magazines. MTM does make good products I have a number of their ammo boxes. Though these days I am mostly buying Dillon boxes, as I can get a case of 50 for the same price as 10 MTM boxes.

Where are you buying 50-round boxes of shotgun shells? All the cases around here are 10 boxes of 25 (250 2-3/4" 12-gauge)...  OP - I store my AR mags in 50 cal cans. Not the best fit, so I fill in the space with loose ammo. That way I can reload them if need be!  |
