Parts and grips in Sterlite boxes, all marked by tags or in ziploc bags. Had to buy shelves to stack them on.

How do you store extra grips, magazines, spare parts, etc?

Parts and grips in big Cabelas plastic storage boxes. Grips like Walter O recommended. The rest in their original boxes, or in sealed plastic storage tubs inside the bigger "ammo" boxes, with anti-moisture packs in each tub, and in the big storage box. Everything labeled.

Have magazines & small parts in Tupperware in my lower safe
I have nowhere near as much stuff as I one did
Have these magazines all out on my bench & they all go into small separate containers
NOTE: I now know why I can't find a good set of wooden combat grips
They are all in containers stored away just waiting..
THANKS GUYS!

Grips and mags are in freezer ziplocks with identification slips. The grips are then segregated and stored in a big cardboard box marked grips. The mags are stored in smaller drawerd cabinets by models.
Given how long some have been into this pursuit, certain grips and mags can get real valuable. Price an original sig p-210 mags, or colt grips or S&W grips lately?

Ammo and mags are in individual 50 cal cans, about 12 of them at the moment. AR mags in 30 cal cans (six of them). 9mm, shotgun, 5.56 and Garand ammo require a couple each. One can is a catch all with an assortment of ammo for some specialty ammo like the one box of 25-35 for my Grandpa's Win 94 that doesn't get shot but I can't stand to have a firearm without ammo for it.
Two big tupperware bins that fit under the bed for parts in ziplock bags and assorted nylon gear.
Holsters and other leather gear goes in a large hope chest sized 2 drawer dresser.
Have a few small parts in the cleaning kit-fairly big tool box.

I have two, 60 drawer organizers, two 4 drawer metal cabinets and about 20 cigar boxes under my Tool box on wheels that contains only gun tools.
Have several plastic sectioned boxes for parts and smaller organizer for sights. For stocks I have several long gun boxes in rafters full. The grips I have in flat boxes of 10. Each set wrapped in tissue paper. The aftermarket grips are in their factory box if new and cigar boxes if used. Any overflow is in ammo cans. Trouble is I’m having trouble remembering where is what.
When I was into this stuff everyday I knew exactly where everything was at. What I described doesn’t take into account Loading tools, bullet molds,
components, ammo, scopes and holsters. Makes me tired thinking about it.

I have a serial number inventory list of all my guns. My very dear friend and FFL held all my guns after my 2018 fire and he inventoried them as he cleaned them up.
As for everything else, big plastic bins, tossed in - BUT holsters are labeled for the guns that fit into them. Same with magazines. The rest is just loose and I don't care, I know where it is and what it is if I need it.

Not a complete inventory but you get the idea.

Big box. Wood grips are in ziplock bags. Rubber grips, just loose.
Holsters in a BIG range bag (too big for range trips).
Magazines in parts bins and/or stuck to a magnetic tool holder on the door of the safe.

I used to use shoe boxes, then larger containers with lids.
Now, I have a 5’ tall filing cabinet -and it’s filling up! ��
