XChris1632X Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I would like to see if some people would share opinions, knowledge, and pics of some storage. I tried searching and didnt bring much results on this topic. Right now I have a cheap stack on safe that I have easily outgrown. I have also seen Ford escorts with thicker sheet metal than this piece of shit. It was free and keeps my kids out. I am in the market for something better. I have a mix of long guns and pistols but I want something big. My latest concern is fire protection. I am really interested in storing irreplaceable items inside as well. I am seriously considering buying a big 64 gun cabinet. The problem is that for one with decent fire protection and the e-lock added, it gets pricey. I love the inside door pouches that you can buy as well. Let's see what you have and/or what you would like to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyM3rC Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Didn't we discuss this when we went to Vances lol Yeah, if only they kept a backup stash of .22 ammo in there... Might check on Sam's to see if they still have that big-ass safe for $600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVRINGS Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I love mine. It was $499 at Sam's Club and worth every penny. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/01/ry8u9a6e.jpg Then the next one I was going to buy was the one at Menards here. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/01/e6a4e8y9.jpg Then the huge one I thought was to big at Dicks, but it was priced right. I think it is 48 Gun http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/01/e2a7y3eg.jpg Home that helps. I know the ones at SAMs club is gone, but menards has good ones for fair prices.

macpyro2 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have been looking at medium to small safes, 2 or 3 cubic feet. enough to store a pistol and other documents. Needs to have some kind of fire/water resistance. Also something with relatively quick access. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have a small 24 gun safe. Spent about $700. A friend from work is an avid collector. Has somewhere between 400-500 different firearms. He converted his basement to a fire/ theft proof vault. His collection is nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVRINGS Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Did the watch the video? Those would be considered Chinese junk... Well it locks them up and keeps little ones away from them. Even the guy in the video said that is what they are good for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 My plan was to get on within the next 6 months. I was going to budget around 2k. Tonight I was at dunhams and looked at this. http://www.dunhamssports.com/products/cannon-safari-36-gun-fireproof-safe/ Great price but I know it is on the cheap end of things. Right now I can't swing 2k, due to recent break ins around me I feel the urge to get something. Right now, the box I have can be broken into with a big screw driver or carried out the door. Only 1/4 of my guns will fit in this cabinet that I currently have. I know this safe from dunhams could be gotten into with a dull blade but it is double the security than what I currently have. It would atleast slow someone down. Any opinions before I pull the trigger? It is marked down in the store for $679. Also has built in door pocket. Any better deals than this floating around?

RyM3rC Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I would suggest you also talk to your insurance company, you might need a separate policy to cover your gun collection but it's very cheap compared to safes. I'm in the same boat as you, anything is better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Make sure it's not china made. I sold a lot of safes at my last job and when taught the diff between the two. Lets just say never buy a china cheap one. If you can wait then wait for cabelas or gun world to open and see what deals they will have. U should be able to get into a good safe for about 1000$. Rule of thumb, buy two times the safe u think u need as long as u can afford it. Elock is over rated IMO also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1647545496 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 if your looking to protect paperwork from fire, put them in a small fireproof box and then put that inside the gunsafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Some paperwork and pictures but more so the irreplaceable family guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
