Ammo Display Case

[KahrMan]

I got this in an auction.  I had been looking for a way to store some of my ammo and thought this was pretty cool.  It's more of a nostalgia thing really.  It reminded me going to the hardware store when I was younger and seeing all the ammo on display.  It was pretty rusty and paint was peeling off the wood pieces.  

 

I took it a part and started cleaning.  Got all the rust and peeling paint off.  Scraped and cleaned the glass doors.  Gave it a coat of fresh spray paint and put it back together.  Turned out pretty good.  The plastic insert sign did not clean up very well but that just adds to the charm.

Nice. 

[MacGyver]

Yeah, that's pretty cool!

Great find! I love old vintage stuff like that. You did a really good job restoring it.

It says "Peters".

I've got a trophy case built into my entry way and thought about doing something similar with it. Since it is easily viewed by the outside when I answer the door I thought better of it, but the thought still pops into mind from time to time.

 

Yours looks great!

That's really cool! I've actually still got a box of Peters 30-30 Ammo that I got with my Marlin 336 when my Pappaw passed away.

We'll be needing a pic of the rifle and ammo. That's cool stuff. Don't hold out on us.

Nice. What kind of ammo is that in the top shelf, right side. I don't recall seeing any of that for sale...

Good work, buddy. I like that.

I found a salvage store several yeas ago while out on my route that had bought a freight carload of damaged Hazardrous Materials cabinets.

I bought a 60'' x 36" x18" just to see how it would work, and that's all I get that day. Went back the next day and they were all gone.

Anyway, it's a very good storage cabinet. Lockable, and vented. And very heavy! And that's before the ammo placed in it.
