    Default Ammo cabinet project

    Had all my ammo stored in my safe, taking up needed rifle space.

    Before I got the safe, I had been using a stack-on cabinet for gun storage. It was just sitting around, so I decided to bolt it into my home office and use it for ammo storage.

    Purchased some "pilaster strips" (had never heard that term before) from Lowes:

    along with some clips to go with them:

    Got 2 of the 72" long ones, and cut them in half with some tin snips to make 4 36" long pieces. Used some simple pop-rivets to mount the strips to the inside of the stack-on cabinet, and made some plywood shelves covered with toolbox drawer liner.



    Was able to get all the ammo out of the main safe, and into the stack-on cabinet with a little room to spare. Used 2 lag screws thru the carpet into the subfloor, and 2 toggle bolts thru the drywall mainly to prevent tipping.

    'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.

    'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.
