Is there any reason not to store ammo in this tool box? It has a foam gasket. Thanks

If you already have the item, I guess it’ll work. But otherwise, you can get new/surplus metal ammo cans for far less.

Also consider the sturdiness of the handle/hinges/latches when full of not lite ammo…

Thanks for all the replies! I have one of these boxes that I’ve been using and I am out growing it. So was at somewhat of a cross roads deciding to buy more or switch to ammo cans. You have talked me into making the switch. I appreciate it!

No reason why you can’t but regular ammo cans are cheaper and the boxes usually fit them better because they don’t have that many variation in shape.

It’s flimsy plastic that will break if you put *heavy ass ammo* in it.

If your looking to save on cost, best quality polymer ammo cans are made by magnum, the 50 cal can be sound on sale for around $6.

I’ll go ahead and second every else and say use ammo cans if you plan on doing any long term storage. They seal and stack great.

[Sea_Farmer_4812]

In general plastic is less of a solid barrier to moisture and oxygen passage than metal/steel. For long term storage this is a consideration. Although keeping dessicant in a sealed container with the ammo and checking on it every so often is a good idea. Also avoiding radical temp changes is always a good idea.

I have the exact same one just with branding on the exterior. When I first got into guns I used it for ammo but now I have 15 .50 cal ammo cans and just use this plastic toolbox as storage for magazines. But I have had some shorty shotgun shells in there for a year or so and they still look knew. Just use silica gel packets to absorb moisture. I would still recommend you getting 50 cal ammo cans before something like this though.

50 cal ammo cans are like $12 at Walmart. They are superior in every way. Stack em deep
