my little stack-on 16gun safe...dont keep much ammo or magazines in it as it just takes up to much space...just keep a couple boxes in the safe. All my other ammo and magazines is in ammo cans waiting for a second safe dedicated for ammo. (those cleaning cloths are a must for me, cannot handle a gun and put it back without wiping it down
 )

I would do this so that when I stack say an AR (with a pistol grip) behind a hunting rifle (w/ a scope) there would not be any interference between the scope and the pistol grip. |

Go with a nice deep dark finish and gold pin striping. My wifes jeweler has a safe just like yours with a deep dark black paint job and gold striping. I compliment the jeweler on his safe every time I come in. |

I had to meet him on the side of the main street and put the safe in the back of a buddies chevy avalanche. The truck driver rolled it right into the bed and oh man did that chevy sink down. My buddy told his wife he would be back in 45 minutes. Well it took him and I over 4 hours to move this thing into my house. Cant wait to do it again....... |

Finally got around to taking some pics.
This is my only safe at the moment. Not my favorite type, but it was free from my parents when I moved out. Most of my collection came from when I lived at home, since moving out money has been pretty limited. I really want to upgrade asap, but it's going to take some time. It's a Sentry. Not sure on the exact size but you can get an idea from the pic. I can't fit all my guns in there so my surplus guns are just in an old glass front wood gun cabinet. Loaded handgun mags are on top shelf Unloaded extra mags are on lower shelf Guns in there currently are BCM AR15 Mossberg 500 Persuader/Cruiser Marlin .22mag Marlin 60 Mossberg 500BB 16GA Springfield MilSpec 1911 HK USP 45 full size Glock 19 1943 Ithaca 1911 Taurus 66 .357 from late 80's Sig Mosquito

Liberty Lincoln 35 delivered on Tuesday:
It took two months to get it, but it was worth the wait. I'm extremely happy with it and I'm SO glad I didn't get a 25. I was debating going one smaller or down to a Franklin and buying a gun with the difference, but decided to stick with this. Of course, I bought more three guns and two suppressors since I bought it because I didn't want what I already had to be lonely

Thanks HardShell!
I've put the rack back on my table (the room is 100% hobby stuff––a big rack for dive gear, a table to work on stuff, and now the safe) to use when cleaning. I don't have enough handguns to need much of that space yet. I have one secured in my bedroom and another is my usual carry gun, so only a Buckmark is always kept in the safe. I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do to get the ARs up a little bit higher. I considered a Shell Shelf, but that's still not enough height for the SBR even with the stock extended fully. I'm just going to lean it against the side until space becomes a concern. Even the 16" is barely tall enough––I can just get the flash suppressor to sit inside the rest when I extend the stock. |

You caught that huh? It's a Remington 1894 16 gauge side by side dbl hammerless with ejectors. That thing has 30" barrels, they are Damascus so I dont shoot it at all. You should see the old "log gun" i have propped up next to the safe because it wont fit!

Got my Franklin 50 last week and finally got everything moved in and lighting run. I looked at the Lincoln series but decided that the benefits didn't quite justify the cost, plus they had this one in stock. As my first safe, I am very happy with it and don't get nearly as paranoid when I leave the house
and with the room lights off to show the lighting (camera wouldn't focus without the flash)
