[jtnf]

Less than $2400? Seems cheap for such a large unit.

too bad it's empty...

45 minutes of fire protection, doesn't say at what temp. I think my Browning safe is better for fire security, but I would have to check.

 

[That Guy]

So many guns for $2400. Well, one and a good scope.

 

[Rockrivr1]

That's super inexpensive for what you get. Fire resistant as well. Hummmm, something seems off....

 

[thormx538]

I'd rather have multiple smaller safes than one huge one, for obvious reasons.

 

[BringTheRain]

Only 1000lbs == thin walled steel RSC

 

[MAGG]

tractor supply has cheaper canons....which I guess would be inferior to the safe you posted above. for the budget conscious

1001 pounds. Guess I'm not getting it down my basement stairs.

 

[Parker Duofold]

If you go to the Lowe's link you can see it with guns!

 

[Salyeica]

12-gauge steel body.

Is it me, or does that ammo shelf look like it's sagging a little?

wait til you load it up..will look like Gilligans hammock

12-gauge steel body.

Thanks. I noticed the specs listed "steel body", but left out the gauge (this usually means 12ga, which is this thinnest of gunsafe gauges and easily breeched).

The 1000lb weight for a safe of this size (ie, low weight) is another hint.

Thou gettuth what thou pay for. The price is not bad but you get a large, very nice looking, easily entered safe.

 

[watchman]

It is cheap because it is wrapped in 2 sheets of aluminum foil.

 

[Hoover]

It's just a bigger version of the ones from tractor supply, dicks, walmart, etc. Good safes for a lower price. But I'd buy two cannons, winchesters, etc and pay 1/2 what that one costs and have similar space.

[Mil-Dot]

100 gun safe that holds 40 gun (maybe).

100 gun safe that holds 40 gun (maybe).

It holds 100 pistols.

 

[Oldarmy]

I would be interested to know how many here have anything close to 100 guns. I'm a poor bastard and can't dream of a quarter of that amount.

 

[dhuze]

You don't buy 100 guns in a year or two. You buy them over 20 or 50 years. Oh and you buy them years ago when they were cheap.

 

[NHAtHeart]

You don't buy 100 guns in a year or two. You buy them over 20 or 50 years. Oh and you buy them years ago before you have kids, a wife, a house and other bills.

FIFY

 

[71montess]

Who needs a hundred gunz ?

 

[Kevin_NH]

Always buy twice as big a safe as you think your need.

Who has 50 guns?

 

[boiler_eng]

The gun numbers are all made up, but what's the advantage of one 100 gun safe?

Why not 2 safes that "add" up to over 100?

Not my choice for a big safe but adding safes over time seems easier than buying a massive one that is a logistical nightmare to move (but is achievable to breech)

 

[thormx538]

To expand on my comment above, most of these "safes" (security cabinets) can be broken into in 5-10 minutes by someone that knows what they're doing, with basic tools. I'd rather have stuff spread out over multiple, hidden safes instead of being able to capture all of my loot by only breaking into one.

 

[houdini]

not big enough
