STANAG Mag Storage

[RedneckRampage]

It's expensive, but a Pelican 1200 without the center foam holds 10 STANAG mags perfectly.

I really want to like the Apache brand cases from harbor freight, but the latches just can't come close to real pelican.

I've put Pelicans through a lot, and trust them. If it has to be in a hard case, I spend the money on Pelican. Even my "suitcase" is a Pelican Air.

I love my 1780

Neat!

I just use ammo cans for our stuff. Regular surplus ammo cans. Various sizes, mostly .50 cal size though. Painters tape labels.

Don't quite have enough cans for "ammo can furniture", however what i do have does store well on home made 2x4 cinder block shelving. Holds a lot of full cans well.

We use laptop bags, midway open top canvas range bag inserts* &/or plastic ammo cans for range use. Depends what we're doing. Such is not for storage, just range convenience. Plus cans if/as need be.

*Midway range bag insert: https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/1020438240?pid=222718

Pretty convenient, mostly for handgun mags (for us). I added tape reinforced open top cardboard boxes to ours. Hold up well (years). They carry ~30 standard capacity handgun magazines. Plus act as a simple dump bag when done. Organizing at home when cleaning (normally just a wipe down) then recharging & canned for later use.

You must be some kind of brute to lug that thing around when its full. I have a 1740 and it's all I can do to lift it when I have just 6 rifles and a bunch of ammo in it.

It has been the " trunk" of my pickup truck many times. Mostly clothes in backpacks and camping gear.

Can easily do 6 rifles in individual soft cases. It has wheels. I have twin sons. Mags and ammo usually in separate totes.

Gotta be almost as big as a job box.

Yeah, but it's plastic. It's under 40lb empty.
I wouldn't say 200lbs is easy, or comfortable. It works tho.

I'd bet a human body cut into five easy pieces would fit it that!

I bet you could fit 2 Tyrion Lannisters in it.

Nope, four… just fold 'em in half.

If I recall right 26 will fit a 50 cal ammo can.

I like the big cans ( mk19) for AK mags.
They are dumb heavy when full of loaded mags.

No one needs that much cardboard.

Photos taken during a re-stack session. I go on buying binges ( I know, sick, right?) and then every month or so I organize my loot.
The last year and a half I keep buying various mtm products to help with the process. I really need to get a shop built out back.
