For storing ammunition (not firearms or long arms), would one of those cheap Stack-On metal cabinets suffice? I already have a safe, but I'd like to maximize the amount of space for storing actual firearms in there and offload my ammunition to a separate unit.

Case law in MA says otherwise.IMO if it locks it is "within the law"

Still, I'll stick with the safe thanks....
replace glass front with Lexan expensive but it should give any B&E artist a run for his money
Lexan is NOT just plastic it was developed for NASA by GE for helmets for space suits
etc it's very impact resistant and highly heat resistant. I use it for covers over my cellar windows to keep out the local undesirables But I do agree with JimB the trim can be pooped out easily. Spring for a nice safe and be done with it
RSC?

Never store ammunition or powder in a metal cabinet of any kind. NFPA and Mass Fire regs require (and rightly so) that ammo be stored in wood cabinets of large enough size to allow for expansion of gases in case of fire. Metal boxes can build very high pressures when fire starts in or around them. I built lockable cabinets of 1/2" pine to store my ammo in.
I don't remember anything in MGL's specifically requiring a WOOD cabinet for
finished/commercial ammunition. Maybe it is in the storage regs for
powder, but not for finished ammo.
