98Z5V Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I have to pop this one up here, and just wreck the thread more- this was an afternoon ride, 8 March 2014 - when I KNEW that JayRod was coming from Cinci to visit - and @SmoothAction made his "surprise visit..." @DNP is here, @AZMan is here - and it was a pretty badass weekend... Riding this big sand shiit is all about picking a line - and hoping you don't fuk it up. If you pick the wrong line, then you get hurt. We dodged several Witches Eyes when we were up in the big sand - and we made it the long way around to the race hill. This kinda shiit makes you tired at the end of the day, because it's non-stop. You come back to eat, fuel the bike - and head back out again. I love my brothers... 20 minutes, but it just doesn't stop. It's worth it.

SmoothAction Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Figured I should respond on topic to honor the OP. My wife ended up buying me a safe for Christmas before I got around to buying a utility box. I don't have all my arsenal; the rest of it is at my mom's across state. This is good enough for now. It was on sale at Sportsman's for I think $600 when they were about $800. I have never had a safe before so I can't speak to whether it's good or not... quality seems like a budget-friendly consumer model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Fire rating? I was given some advice about fire ratings a long time ago, and it makes sense. 90 minute fire ratings are not needed, as most home fires are extinguished in less than 30 minutes. I can't vouch for the validity, but it seems to make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSdefender Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 This thread isn't REAL old, so I thought I'd come here instead of continuing on another thread where I got some suggestions from Shepp about safes: I got this one from Menards on Black Friday, buddy of mine has had the same one for many years and is happy with it. Previously I was watching tractor supply and Dunhams sports, they both run great sales. IIRC @Robocop1051said tractor supply has mil/leo discount Today I looked online for the RIGID 48" box and good golly: they are over $500 now. There are a couple of DeWalt versions that hit the $700 mark. Damn near as much as an entry level safe. I'm looking more seriously at Cannon, because our local Academy Sports carries them, and I have a better chance of getting it delivered for less than having one shipped by common carrier. I saw that an American Rebel store just moved in about 2 miles from the house, which seemed cool until I saw that their safes START at $3K and head skyward. A local gun store carries a line of safes, but I cannot recall the brand. A good excuse to go there next week....assuming the snow stops....and the roads get plowed.

MtnMike Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I got my last one (after I outgrew my first one) from Sam's Club. The brand is Sports Afield and the quality is pretty good - fireproof and waterproof. Electronic lock with a key for emergencies. If you are a member and keep an eye on their "instant savings" sales you can get a good deal that includes free shipping to your door. The free shipping is a pretty rare deal when it comes to gun safes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMike Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Currently, the Sam's Club's price for a 32 gun safe is $599 w/$90 shipping. https://www.samsclub.com/p/sports-afield-32-gun-fireproof-safe-with-electronic-lock/P990336492?xid=plp_product_6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSdefender Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Tempting. My daughter is a Sam's member so I could get one through her. As long as they'll ship it to my address instead of hers. :) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelDeVille Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 through a local gun shop almost 35 years ago I bought a safe direct from the manufacturer in so. cal. it was/is bare bones with no interior, one of these days I'm going to finish the interior... as a matter of fact I just got the metal clips on amazon about 20 minutes ago it would be nice to be able to store some ammo, and have shelves and such.... y'all inspired me....

KSdefender Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 I had checked the local "sources" for used gun safes - Craigslist, etc. and of the very few I found, they wanted as much as a new one. Maybe I should check estate sales - those companies often post online inventories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how far away this auction is from you, but they have a couple of safes available. https://hibid.com/catalog/609446/firearms--gun-safes-and-accessories-online-auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSdefender Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Thanks for the heads up. This is about an hour + away, but they say shipping is available. I may give it a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
