OK so while the site was on vacation I decided to buy a new gun safe. I went to patriotsafes.com and bought one of their collectors size safe. I tried to wait but let me know what you all think. If it sucks etc please let me know here is the website.

Err looks small only 39 guns, I knows you gots more than that for guns and gold to put in it. The only things I can bark at is the their fire rating the one we have is rated at 1.5 hours in 1860 degrees but holds 68 guns with internal hinges, a seal and 14) 1.25" bolts top/bottom as well as sides, glass lock same door thickness and wall thickness, think ours cost roughly $2000 and delivery was $100.

*100% Free shipping is business to business, dock to dock or forklift to forklift.

Small charge for residential "curb" delivery with liftgate service. We can also arrange indoor delivery.

I knew their was a catch.

Can't say it sucks, just be careful of the hidden language.
'If you can find them get some holsters that hang on the inside of the door to hold pistols and magazines, I've been looking for some time but no joy.

If you don't have a safe now what are you waiting for?

You mean you didn't try to work a deal "buy two get one free"? Still three wouldn't be enough!

looks like a nice safe! enjoy filling it up!

thing is i am remodeling and yeah the bigger one is on its way as soon as I finish the new tile etc. then I have to save up some more as I will be buying receivers etc in case the elections go left next year then get the third but I just wanted to know if it was worth getting. I got a dehumidifier with it as well and 100 bucks off with delivery? on the biggest version of it I am getting around $400.00 off cause I got both. as to the fire rating the sticker on the safe says 1800 degrees? overall it weights around 950lbs and is 59x39x24 the bigger one coming in is 72x42x28 woot woot it will never be enough but what can I say. To get it home I have a dually and tons of forklifts to no issue their thank God

Hey frank.If you are remodeling why not think about a vault?

I wish I could do a vault but the house is not big enough and need as much space as possible, Thanks Steve I have thought of that was well but needed to balance out other needs.

 

[Rory]

i feel that. i would love to have a whole room with a vault door.

Guys have you ever thought of getting a gun bunker ? I bought a building from some people made of heavy steel sideing ,steel door,and i put the safe in there. it is great for cleaning guns because of the fumes and all the powder for re-loading is away from the house .

 

[franks71vw]

Phalanx
can you post an example of sorts never seen one..

 

[sdk1968]

Frank ive got a Liberty the same size as what yo just got.....

their good safes. but as you will quickly find out. JUST NOT BIG ENOUGH.

im seriously thinking of building my next one and fire proofing it (yes i can get the fireproofing, im an Asbestos worker. lol)

 

[phalanx]

Frank ,i will PM you pics. I had a back hoe come out ,and bury it and pile dirt over all but the roof. Its a 12x14 ,but is good for the guns and stuff. Im working on stairs down to the door and had to put a drainage system in it ,The bunker sits into a hill so the drain flows into a draw about 14 ft lower.so far no worries , needs a heater ,but i havent had to use the AC yet being in the ground. Humidity becomes your problem though ,vents in the roof help with that. Its sort of like how they used to make storm shelters.

 

[sdk1968]

Phal,

you obviously have more money to play with. LOL

 

[Rory]

wow seriously. and more room than some of us city folk have.

I use Sack-Ups, then I can lean them against each other. I even alternate muzzle up then muzzle down for even more efficient use.

 

[phalanx]

It cost less than a vault built into the house .and as far as room to build? This is N.M.

I do the same thing but still running out of room in my safe, hell cant EVEN think of putting my 1919 in there - the wood on my M1's would just love that

Looking to pick up a house in S. Idaho or N. Utah here around the new year, I can sell my place here and pay off my mortgage and still pick up a house in the 130K range and pay it off.

That will be sweet, no mortgage so I can pick up a couple hundred acres and build what I want, a completely cement basement with vault door!! I guess mama will want a house on top of it too but whatever, I have my vault

[sdk1968]

my thoughts exactly Dan.... sounds great whats for dinner?

 

[franks71vw]

Wheres the best place to get these sack ups. To cover your gun collection I think you would wind up spending more then a grand is there an alternative like sprying some cotton material with silicon spray or something?

 

[Dan Wilson]

I get BoreStor covers at the Sportsmans Guide, about ten bucks a pop.
