clicked on BUY 1 of each, and US Shipping: $0.00
but the DIY'er in me would just buy a 6 inch tube 4 feet long and 2 end caps and spare myself the waiting time
plus the DIY'er option of making smaller 1-2 foot tube caches
nice website, i'll add it to my " survival supplies " folder
nice...like those. I go to the hardware store and dig thru the scrap pile, you can almost always find some good lengths cheap. Some hardware stores give discount too cause its scrap.
ii read about this somewhere and laughed for a 1/4 of the price just do like CG says 6" pvc end cap, female adapter and male cap and some paint or colored tape and can make a couple of them easy oh yeah some glue is a must and some teflon paste and tape for the cap
I dont know if making them is cheaper , Just a 4 inch slip cap is 7.35 each. thats 14.70 and you havent added in the pvc tube or the glue or paint. and this price is from Home depot by the way.
Didn't see much else on the site, forward and back turned up a blank page?
Any way, I was given a couple of mortar shell tubes, not quite that long, but the price was right.
They have a rubber seal and a carry strap.
Only problem I have found is that they are a real PITA to get open by hand, they seal up real well.
I use them for map cases for the boat.
But since y'all brought them up, I sure that some basic survival gear would fit, as well, hummmmmmmm.
Thanks.
BTW we used PVC tubes w/ screw caps(10+ ft's) on the service trucks racks to keep copper pipe and such in.
They also take a tool to get open after a while.
I made several cache tubes took some to jamboree for trade. Using 6" schedule 40 PVC, one solid end cap and one screw off waterproof cap on each tube. with parts,glue and everything....Quote:

Course I don't know how heavy duty the tubes are on the web site it didn't say. IMHO for the price and free shipping they can't be much.
Dudes running his site using java script written in 1997. LOL
He must lose a ton of business!
The one on the left is an 81 mm mortar round container and the one on the left is a sonobouy container(if I had a nickel for everyone of those I tossed after unpacking the sonobouy)
I don't think you can make them for that price. I might be wrong but, like OS said, blasted pieces parts are expensive. He's got some weird stuff on there too. Some prices are good, some not so good.

Yeah, sometimes I get a catchy tune stuck in my head and...oh, wait...you said....nevermind.:blushing:Quote:

.... why not just get a 5 gallon bucket with a nice lid? Too big? Well, its $5.
I guess I was thinking he same thing.Quote:

Use PVC glue, to stick/seal them together.
Warning; Just for the record...I have no idea if this will work.
I was just being a smart arse. I've never tried it.:innocent:
Keep in mind that even if you have a water proof/air tight container, you still have a problem with condensation because of temperature difference.
So the chances of a Ruger 10/22 not rusting even if it did fit into a tube, would be slim if stored for any length of time.
I sure extreme measures as vacuum packing, packing in grease etc would have to be used.
Lost a couple of boxes of shotgun shells when the "Brass" which is really coated steel, rusted badly, over the winter even when stored in a water proof "dry box", on a shelf in the garage.
stick a bunch of those silica gel packets down with whatever
There's always cosmoline for weapons storage. Kind of a PITA to clean though. I'm sure some of the newer products available work as well without the intense clean-up.
I was just being a sa on the 10/22 in the fact that it wouldn't fit something short. You guys actually take me serious? Who knew?
True as that might be, (sometimes it's hard to tell, LOL) they actually sell the JIC, pistol gripped Mossberg, 12ga packed in a similar container, along with a Sucrets box type Survival Kit.Quote:

Unless you live in a dry temperate climate, you will find that unless you do use silica gel packs, heavy grease, vacuum packing, purging w/nitrogen, etc, your stuff is gonna get ruined.
And it doesn't matter if it's a 10/22 (popular survival option), food stash, or any other gear, just putting in a tube isn't gonna make it.
Note: How does one throw away, loaded 3-1/2 Mag Hevi Shot #4's, 12 ga with rusted brass, that you are afraid to shoot?
"Hello 911? Yeah, I just found a bunch of ammunition. Where? Uh, beside the road. Yeah, that's it. Beside the road.
LOL, I hear ya.Quote:

I would guess that if I called the bomb squad,.....no never mind, bad idea... he isn't on the squad anymore, retired in one piece, ...I'll just hang on to them.
I think that maybe everyone has stuff they really can't/won't throw away, won't use, don't really know what to do with, so just keep it till you croak, and someone else has to deal with it?
It was a case of storing them in a water tight ammo box, for a year, or from one duck season to another, that did the deed.
Just an FYI.
P.S. I did hear about throwing in a piece of dry ice to "gasify off" and replace oxygen with CO2. Never tried it though.
I'd cut the shells open dump the shot for reloading. Pull the wadding and dump the powder (I am sure you can reuse or just do what the Coyote does?). Fire the primers in a safe gun a disguard? Just a thought...
I personaly would go with Cowboysurvival's suggestion then use the hulls as match holders, there is a thread someplace about using the hulls of used shotgun shells for that purpose
here is the link for that shot shell match case. http://www.woodsmonkey.com/index.php...cles&Itemid=63
Well that's cool beans. Another reason to hand carry spent shells out of the woods. Thanks! I missed this somewhere along the line.
I'm not sure I want to fool around unloading these.
Plastic shells have a real tight crimp, don't know if I want to mess with that.
Shot is "Hevi Shot", lot of problems reloading these to correct pressures, load info, etc.
Powder is a factory mix, also problems with load data, amounts.
Don't feel like cutting them open, too much work for little useful return, (ie. shot powder, etc.)
These hulls would be 3-1/2" don't have any dies, presses for these, and there is still the live primer problem, Yeah, I know I could fire them, or gently press them out (Not!).
I do reload 12ga, but mostly slugs (Lee 1oz mold) using the small "Lee Loader", gave my big press/dies, to my nephew to reload trap/sheet loads.
He shoot more targets then I do, and if I go shooting with him, I expect him to bring the shells ( I do think that he load blanks and gives them to me, 'cause he breaks more than I do, mostly)
Intresting link on use of hulls, Thanks.
The younger generation needs to know that one.
I always pick mine up, but how many match holders can you use?
I have several that are (I would have to look to be sure) 16ga,(I think, maybe 20ga?) slid into 12ga, froms a real good slid fit, as match cases, kits. (kinda a funny/Mr Dumas story here, maybe later?)
Got the idea 30+ years ago from the "Tips" section of "Outdoor Life", no interweb back then, had to go to the barber shop (remember them? guy thing) and read while you waited.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, might just come up with some thing.
This is gonna be one of those "hang on to them, let it eat at me till figure out what to do with them." things.
