I'm looking for a miniature version of a well built gun safe, preferably USA made.
Basically floor mounted (will reside in a closet, the heavier the better - which coupled with being bolted to the floor should deter the casual meth head. Ideally I would like to be able to store a SBR in it so would need about a 24" inside height dimension.
THIS IS NOT A PRIMARY GUN SAFE...rather other secure storage that allows QUICK ACCESS. For this application I's almost prefer a digital combo with key backup. But I could be convinced otherwise.
Price is negotiable. Thanks in advance for your advice.This message has been edited. Last edited by: JRC,

Nope...14/16 ga. metal and 65# - not by a long stretch. Tell me about 100# plus.
It's going in a closet. I'd prefer it closer to the 24" height requirement, or a little taller.

JRC,
I don't think I need to tell you the obvious, but always buy bigger than you think you need.
You will run out of room.
For my emergency entry needs, I went with a simple, cheap, Stack-On safe. It could be defeated in very little time, but will keep out your average meth-head.
This Stack-On safe is not the one I would recommend, but you get the idea.

Check your local safe dealers. a1abdj types.... I bought a smaller safe from him a few years back. It was a cash safe from a Dollar General (if I remember correctly). I think it's dimensions are 27" tall by 20" square. Works out very well for us as a secondary safe.

^^^THIS^^^ is the direction I am thinking. That size would be perfect!
Hopefully a1abdj will be along to offer suggestions.
Thank you.

If you want to post your zip code, or send me an e-mail outside the forum with your zip, I'd be happy to see who may be in your area that can help you out.
Banks commonly use a variety of steel plate safes, so anybody who deals with them will likely have something of suitable construction available.

If Sturdy doesn't have what you want in a stock size, they'll custom-build. Made in USA, and they make a quality safe.
