LGS is selling SKS crates for $25, and I was thinking if it was a good idea to clean one up to store my measly collection of raifus? I plan on sanding the edges, and maybe making compartments on the inside.
How big are these crates, and general thoughts on this?
Its how I do it. I made my own crates for my weapons. Pic unrelated.

I'm concerned about the smell though. Wood is porous, and I'm sure 15 cosmoline-soaked sks's would cause it to reek something fierce. Any ideas? I've thought of building one outright, but costs, and materials would be more than this crate.

All my guns are I'm osb sheeted crates, one has a floor using a whole 4x8 sheet. Wood works very well to absorb moisture. Crating your weapons while keeping them oiled works great. Keeping your guns oiled laying horizontal keeps the oil from moving and being completely wasted. For example I oil my ar15's, snap dust cover shut, lay down horizontal. Ready for action longer than storage vertically.

I don't mind it per se but my housemates will.

Anyone got a lead on a crate or website that sells them? I looked but they are going for over 500 USD on ebay. Thats way too much.

maybe ask your lgs to contact you when they get shipments of milsurps in?
>tfw back in the mid to even late 2000's all I had to do was drive to any LGS in the area and they'd give them to me for free because they were taking up space
I have an entire Conex on my property that has nothing but those damn things and shit I saved when my old Movie Gallery job ended due to bankruptcy.

$25? Fuck I wish I could find that around me. That's good storage for anything.
