It will be cooling off someday.....
And that means during the winter I will once again have relatives visiting, that I will take out into the desert to enjoy the great Arizona "winter" and do some shooting! During these trips, if there are more than 2 or 3 people with me, it's difficult to make sure all the different calibers and makes and models get all the right mags and of course the right ammo. I've gotten lucky so far, that wrong mags don't always seat in the handguns, but having a fleet of AR pattern rifles in different calibers is a nightmare and accident waiting to happen. So I have color coded everything to help everyone keep things straight (hopefully).
So if I take these to the range.....
And the range bag looks like this:
Then there is a problem.
Here is my solution.
Color coded mags and magwells.
I've done the same thing for the ARs.
Can you tell which one is not correct?
I think it would also be very helpful during a SHTF situation. If each family member knows that their 5.56 needs the blue mags and ammo from the blue labeled ammo boxes, while the 7.62x39 needs the green mags and ammo from the green labeled boxes.
Every caliber has it's own color code on the rifles, mags and ammo boxes.
