Commander Zero links a great youtube tour of a bunker originally built to protect telecom equipment during the cold war.
At $440,000, it could make a darn tempting group buy. I would be very interested in knowing if it was located in California or in one of the neighboring states. The description says five hours out of LA.
Sams recently started carrying Plano cases with wheels that are about the size of a footlocker. Price: $14.67 plus tax.
It fits suspiciously well into the trunk of my car, and fits all the crap I always have in there (trunk bag, blanket, toolbox, air compressor, socket set, crowbar). It is also not lost on me that an AR-length rifle would sit neatly inside.
They have two buckles on the front and one on each size. Everything is overbuilt and sturdy except the hinges. When the box is closed I’m pretty sure I could throw it down a flight of stairs full of rocks and it would survive. It has rollers on one side, but with no extending handle they aren’t practical to use unless the contents are heavy enough to merit crouching to pull the thing, or you are short enough that the side handle is at a natural position while walking.
And they have notches to stay lined up while stacked. I think I’m going to have to pick up half a dozen of these. They beat the ever-loving snot out of rubbermaids.

Again, thanks to xyankeeworkshop for the plans. I’m enjoying the setup immensely.

Chambered in 9mm and taking the inexpensive and plentiful 32-round Uzi magazines. Price from Full Auto Classics: $12,500. Those familiar with the sale of NFA items will understand that this is actually rather inexpensive for a transferable fully-automatic weapon.
I would really like to see newly-manufactured semi-automatic SBRs (Short-Barreled Rifles) of this sort of design. The process for acquiring an SBR in semi-auto is much less maddening, and there are myriad civilian and police applications for a short pistol-caliber carbine that you can store in a messenger bag.
