Any thoughts on finished vs. unfinshed parts of a basement for storage? Since it's still in your house (heat/ac in basement), does the slight increase in temperature variation and humidity in an unfinished space matter? (as compared to the garage, which definitely gets colder in the winter!)
Also, if the ammo is surplus in sealed tins or in the wood crate, does this help in storing it in slightly less "ideal" conditions.
After all, I suppose that the warehouses or caves or whatever it was originally stored in wasn't as well controlled as my basement, and they have all gone bang so far.
I did have a couple PMC .38 specials not go off the first time, however. I'm not sure what to make about that! No more PMC for me...
So what do people think? Is it ok to put all the mosin and mauser food in the crappy cobweb, moustrap filled part of the basement? It seems weird putting stuff close to the furnace, water heater, or the sump pumps, even though I know that the stuff has been sitting quietly in its little cans for 30 to 50 years without a problem...
