Gun Storage

Post by Pawpaw »

After looking around for a storage solution I just didn't find anything I really liked, so I decided to have something custom built.

It's 2 or 3 weeks away from completion, but I wanted to see what you folks think about it so far.

Just to keep things organized :biggrinjester: I bought one of these to go inside it.

Mine has a tan textured finish instead of the glossy white in these photos, but you get the idea.

This is what the inside looks like.

Thanks guys.

Yes, if you're ever in my neck of the woods (Greenville - Rockwall area), pretty much everyone on the forum has a standing invitation! I'll just need a little notice.

Looks like you've got room for a range out back. ;-)

The only problem with that is that it's within the city limits and the bullets would be heading straight toward town! :shock:

Nice, I had to settle for the biggest safe that would fit in the house. If I have to upgrade it will require upgrading the house along with the safe.

It looks like that house has room for at least two dozen safes.

Is the larger safe going to be biometric, combination, or key?

It has a plain old-fashioned S&G mechanical combination lock, just like I used in the USAF to secure classified materials.
