Re: storing BP and loaded rounds
I am moving to eastern TN in May and the thought has occured to me that I need a place to store my ammo and BP in the new house. It is a rancher with an insulated garage (the tempature still changes with the weather) and a crawspace. I have been pondering whether to store the ammo (plastic water tight box) and BP (4 cans in a surplus ammo box) in one of the closets,garage, or crawspace. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
Depending on just how large a crawlspace this house may have (i.e. 18'x24', 24'x24', etc), it may well afford you the opportunity to excavate it out from the basement side and install a walk-in arms vault with a full-height vault door, perhaps even a small test-fire range. I’ve been toying with a similar idea of converting a 42-inch sanitary sewer that runs through my property into an underground 50 yard range by installing a new junction box on the line at the proper distance from the last manhole (and hanging targets at the manhole). It’s just a working hypothesis for now, until I can work out the details with the city engineering department. Probably will install a granulated rubber bullet trap so I can recycle the lead.
