I'm in the market for a new safe, and would like to pick up one of the "64 gun" size safes to protect for future expansion (I'm aware that's just a marketing number).  Most of the safes of this approximate size seem to be pretty standard at 40"W X 24"D, with a few over-sized ones up to 44"W and 27"D, or some combination in between.  

Unfortunately, the space that I have for this safe can only accommodate up to 39.5" in width, and in order to get into position, the safe has to pass through a door that is 23.5" wide, with the door removed.  This is the only good place I really have for a safe like this, so I'm trying to figure out a way to make it work, preferably without pulling down drywall or removing door frames.  

So this is my quandry:  Where can I find a decent safe about the same size as the "64 gun" 40"W X 24"D ones, but measuring an inch less in both dimensions, at 39"W X 23"D?  Additionally, I don't have thousands to drop on this, so I need to find something under $1000.  I'm not particularly brand-sensitive as long as it's not a piece of trash.

I haven't found anything yet, but I did figure out that I can squeeze in a 40" width by elevating the safe above the baseboards on a small platform.  

I'll probably end up taking the doorframe out to accommodate the depth.

Unfortunately, the Fatboy Jr is still 42x25 exterior. Nice safe, but it won't go in my closet.
