Thread: Seperation anxiety: what to leave at BOL

Planning on sticking this box under a stairwell and building up around it. This house isn't completely finished downstairs so this is a good possibility of going with a false wall. For now the Helwan 9mm and the Rossi 22/20 are the only weapons in the box. Because I am a collector and a prepper, I've presented myself with a problem in that many of my pistols are different calibers so it's difficult to stockpile like ammo.

Building the chest into a wall in a closet would be a good idea also. I think I would like that idea better. I would probably attach a piece of Paneling, Drywall or whatever type of material that is already there to the front of the Chest so it would blend in with the rest of the...

If one gun fails, you will be able to use the other with the same normal...

Honestly, if you're not sure of the reliability of the H&K I would recommend selling it. I'm assuming you don't carry a pistol you've had reliability issues with. Going that route, I would sell it, and purchase more magazines for the P-95 IOT leave it at the BOL with what you feel is a sufficient supply of magazines. Sounds like a good set-up, gave me some ideas for mine...

I have a cabin on a river in the Ozarks. I put some ammunition of every caliber I own in a locked area along with an assortment of rifles, pistols and shotgun all with gun locks.

Do the Glock and if you have to get another to replace it.
