Time to move, too many firearms though.

Time to move to another state/job.
Problem: too much ammo/guns.

TMO wont take ammo and I can only take what I can tow in my SUV. I dont wanna burn out the tranny, its rated to tow 6400 but I figure if I rent a 1000lb U-haul trailer and load 2000 lb of guns/ammo I should be ok. 3000 sounds like a good weight.

(military pays for moves but uses a civilian company, so guys come to the house, pack your stuff and move it just like any other company)

So I offloaded 14 cases of 5.45 to a local buddy. That got rid of a few pounds.
And TMO said they'd move rifles. I opted for them to take ones I could lose and get a market rate for if reimbursed. An SBR or Krink would never be fully reimbursed but my Bolt Actions would. So I am sending mosins/mausers with the movers. Cosmo'd them up and removed the bolts.
They say they will log them and store them in a vault, so we will see in a few months if they're still around. Took photos of every gun/close ups of serial#s.

That should save some weight. But its still paranoia with them taking em.
Keeping all the bolts with me.

Any other recommendations for towing, moving, n guns?
Probably going to OHIO, and a small chance of going to CA.
