Mag storage...

[gavinkempsell]

I have one or two spare mags that get dumped into an ikea type storage box & was looking on fleabay last week thinking I could buy some ammo boxes to store them all a bit better. Long story short, I dragged them all out to see how many spare mags I had & which types, took a piccie to post on here and realised that I don't need any ammo boxes... I have webbing hanging all over my mancave with ready made pouches. only got around 6 spares without a home now (mainly a couple of AK & some Galil mags).

That step was some time ago.

That certainly does look like overkill.  I can understand having a few mid/low caps but so many hi-caps is not normal.

 

So you stuff them all in your webbing?

Isn't it harder to keep track of everything?

How do you organise for a game day?

 

I'd get a few of those plastic tubs from pound saver or something to keep dust out of em.

thats..   a lot of mags

i have most of my mags in an old ammo crate.

i bought the crate from an army surplus stall at my (at the time) local market before lockdowns, stripped off all the old flaking brown paint and resprayed it with some grey primer and army green rattle cans from halfords (which has picked up quite a few scars from other ammo boxes being stacked on top of it) , then my father and i made and painted a pair of wooden divider trays. 

i swap the mags depending on which backup guns i take to a game day and load the entire crate in the boot of my car.

I've collected most of them as extra's when I buy a second hand pew, less than half have been bought seperately. I usually have my belt kit filled with hicaps and a chest rig filled with mids, only recently got a GBBR XM177 & it's mags are in an alice rig, I'll prob use my belt kit for the Scar-H mags.

They'll all fit in the boot of my car & I'll swop them around as I change kit & pews.

That was my original plan.

Most of these will rarely get used, spare tan mags in DDPM webbing, black in MTP webbing, M16 20's in alice gear, G3 in flecktarn field gear, SLR in 58 pattern webbing etc... I collect webbing too so plenty of pouches laying empty

All mine live in a Peli Case, along with the other bits I use for a game day. Admittedly, I have drastically reduced the number of magazines I own by slimming down my RIF collection 😂

I have a locker unit from a night club that has 36 lockers that i use for mags . Each locker has mags for a couple of rifle platforms or a few pistols and i've labelled each locker so i know what's inside

I'm not sure if this is a flex, or a cry for help. 🤣
