Do you have one big safe or a few smaller ones. I originally wanted to put my 36 gun safe in the basement but the safe company said I probably wouldn't be able to get it out once it was down there.
My basement looks similar to yours, at least how the stairs come down. I'd love to make something like this, but I get some moisture in mine through the bulkhead stairs so I guess it's out of the question.
Looks great though.

Nice work!
+1 on a window bar and curtain. Martha would piss herself if she saw that many guns in the possession of a [STRIKE=.]citizen[/STRIKE] serf in her commonwealth

Awesome. Nice collection as well.
I have even more than pictured (only three) but now that I have the space I will get more. I collect mostly WW2 rifles.

Panic room?
Who needs a panic room when you have more than enough to fend off any poor bast**d that may try and pull off some shenanigans. I'm thinking the potential ne'er-do-well would be more apt to consider the remaining basement space to be the "panic room" as bullets zip past him coming through the sheet rock from inside the room.
Now I want a gun room. [sad2]

3rd photo down of the ammo.....I literally spaced out for a minute staring green with envy...
I wish I had more.
I don't know what you have for a boiler or hot water, but if they take in air from the basement, you may need to add air vents in the new room to the outer parts to allow for the proper make up air required for your boiler BTU input, and any other oil/gas fired appliance down there, also a C.O detector would be a good thing if one is not already down there
In any case it looks good hope to have one like it some day,

Some Suggestions.
I put 1 inch plywood and steel inside the inside walls(not against the concrete) so someone couldn't kick them self through the wallboard.
I had one window in the room. I have iron bars installed over the window from outside and a way to block the window from inside. Just in case.
I used the dricore on the floor as a subfloor DRIcore 7/8 in. x 2 ft. x 2 ft. Aspen Subfloor Panel-CDGNUS750024024 at The Home Depot
Instead of normal peg board. I ordered stainless steel peg board from Home depot's web site. I like the look if it. I live in NH so I can just display the guns like this without locks

is that an RPG?
and I plan to do the same thing in mass but have u bolts from behind the peg board so I can lock them to the wall.
So even w/ bars on that exterior window, isn't that going to draw some attention? Other thoughts about what to do w/ the window? Brick it from the outside - is that even an option?
my Window is in the back of my house. With a fence and forrest behind me. I don't any issues.Back of my house has a walk out basement and two windows. I secured both of the windows with bars. and put in a steel reinforced outside door. Plus the same on the door to the room.
Some one else asked. I have a empty law tube and a used practice rocket in the picture.

It's a palm gun. Unless I'm mistaken, the trigger is the lever on the right. You place the gun in your hand with the barrel(on the left) protruding through your fingers. To fire, you squeeze your palm.

This. 1880's Chicago Palm Pistol. Fires a .32 Extra-Short Rimfire (if you can find it), which is guaranteed to annoy the heck out of the person you're shooting. Come to the Pumpkin Shoot - I'll bring it along.

I've seen it at one of the car shoots and will vouch for it's cool factor... the thing is awesome, and has me in a perpetual hunt for the ammo it takes.
