Any one own one? I dig the look for the man cave
Currently i have 5 safes, want to go down to 2. I want to get rid of 3 15 long gun safes and 1 24 gun safes. By the looks of things a 68 gun model will do this for me.

Could you build a gun vault in your home for less?
Concrete?

Not even close. The 2 doors you would need( and yes there has to be 2 per code) would be 10-20k installed.. building a house, you could build a 10x10 for about 50k, retrofit, you are way more than that.
Its not as simple as some block and rebar in a basement. The cheapest would be to do it how thry build bank vualts. Using precast panels that are glued( think tilit up) and welding toegther. That still is going to mean a crane for a couple days( at 600-1000 per hour) and doing it during construction. I built one a few years ago that was 12x16 it was 170k when all was said and done. The structure was about 70k of that, thr other 100 was finishing the inside

I like the looks of the Ironworks safes, but I wish the 68 gun had double doors that were full width. I think the narrow door on a big box is limiting. The Rino USA look good as well, but split the doors on the big ones.

At only 56" wide, 2 doors would only be 24" wide or so. 1 door will be stronger than 2.
My big safe has 2 doors, its a pita to access the none lock side as you have to open the lock door reach in and throw a lever to unbolt the 2nd door. When i redid the shelving inside having to access that lever was very limiting on its configurations.
What started all this was i was looking for my extra long cleaning rod. That i thought was in one safe, well i had to open 3 to find it. I am super organized ( i may have been called anal a time or 3) not being able to find something i know i have drives me nuts. Then i started looking at the floor space taken up by these safes, the way i had 2 in the house and 3 in the garage. 2 big safes and a metal ammo locker just makes so much more sense. All but one of my safes i bought second hand.
Its funny how many issues you find when your spending most of time at home. I am still not use to it. The good news is i have been going to the range about twice a week. The gym 3 or 4 times and have been scoping at the local toy stores( all kinds) i wont say i dont like not working yet, but aspects of it are growing on me.

Come find out there is a store that sells them about an hour away. So i went to go look at them. Expected delivery date is 1st week in june. I was not going to pay $550 for a less thsn 4 week lead time. I am not in a hurry.
