Try using two empty 12 guage and two empty 20 guage shells. IIRC the 20 will slide into the 12 rather snugly. Trim whatever one to use as a cap/plug for the other. YMMV.


FYI for those AR owners. Another great (IMO) storage idea is the inserts for the Magpul MAID AR grips. The inserts allow you to carry a spare bolt and firing pin inside the grip. Two very important replacement parts for an AR.
