It's funny how quickly safes fill up.
After I bought my first long gun I purchased a crap little stack on cabinet:

I went this route because I lived 2nd floor in an apartment and they told me the floors were not strong enough to hold a full blown bigass safe.

In fairly short order I filled it up.
So I bought a 2nd one.
Then I filled it up.

I then happily moved out of the apartment and into a rental house. (yay house!)

Finally made the leap and bought an actual safe:

As I still rent, this brand made the most sense to me.
When the time comes to move out, I can simply disassemble it and load it on a truck without much fuss.
Within a couple months.... I filled it up.
Pulled one of the old stack-on cabinets out of the storage room and began using it in addition to the safe.

Finally last week I dropped a pile of cash on the big one:

It just arrived today and took me a couple hours to assemble by myself.
The directions say to put it all together while it's laying on its back - then stand it up and put the doors on.
This is feasible for the smaller ones... but damn impossible with this behemoth (for 1 person).
After trying unsuccessfully for an hour or so to find some way to stand this thing up without help I ended up unattaching the whole back panel and just stood the frame up - then stood up the back panel and attached it while upright.
After that it was pretty much easy work of sliding it into place and putting the doors on.
I know there will likely be some comments about "you need to bolt that thing down" - but remember... I rent. Landlord would likely frown on me cutting holes in the carpet and stuff.

Was wavering back and forth on whether I should sell the old one or not.
Decided to keep it around and use it for the extra tall/long rifles/shotguns (pulled the upper shelf out).

So I now finally have room to grow again! (yay!)

New safe nice and empty:


New safe with a pile of stuff in it:


Old safe with long guns (it has a pretty small door so you can't see them all):

Your off to a good start!

I always say im going to sell the old safe when i get a new one but I end up keeping them. Never have a shortage of stuff I dont want stolen

not a suppressor fan I see. I love the idea of those safes, I may have to look into one.

Very nice collection, NFA and otherwise!

How long before you invest in a larger model?

Very nice, indeed. I am envious.

Very nice! You're going to need a "walk-in" safe if you keep going!

Those safes aren't even 1/5 full.

Get to work.

haha I fully plan to!

I have outgrown my one and only safe.

I wil not say what I am doing with what I consider my lesser guns.

That safe is a neat idea, thanks for posting !

What is this you're using for handgun storage?



And would it work for revolvers, too?

Works for anything with a barrel.
There's like 4 different models to choose from.

Thanks!

Man that is a beast of a safe, and a very healthy collection, nice work!
