EasyEJL Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Shadow Ops Weaponry paid for it. Its not much compared to what I bet some of you have, but its way better than what I was using. I've been trying to save for one, but have literally had over $7000 now in vet bills over the last 3 months across 3 of my dogs, one of whom had to be put to sleep(although I set up a donation thing that got me enough to cover the one dog's surgery, but that's another topic)
Microgunner Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like a fine piece of equipment. And you can't beat the price. We've received several Shadow Ops lowers for customers. One guy ordered three. They were great looking receivers. Hope your dogs are doing better.
Sisco Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Looks good. Great investment for your peace of mind. Anchor it to the floor and wall if you can.
unforgiven Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Nice safe,sorry to hear about you'r pets brother Easy.That's a heartbreaker. :'(
Toolndie7 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 That's a pretty nice unit. Got any pics of the interior?
shepp Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 My buddy got one similar to that from tractor supply, I need to get another/new one
EasyEJL Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Posted February 20, 2014 yeah, this one came from tractor supply. We'd been trying to work out getting me something bigger/nicer like one of the larger brownell ones, but the company is kind of tight on cash and couldn't lay out $2400. At the same time, my old safe was tiny and really only "safe" by way of obscurity, I could get into it with my pocket knife and 10 minutes :D So I needed something better and we settled on this for now. Actually picked it up at tractor supply ourselves, wheeled it in with my appliance dolly. I'll be anchoring it to the floor this weekend. I could probably fit a good 4 more rifles in there on the left side if I organized it halfway decently, and nothing on the right really needs to be inside the safe :) so I could put more long guns there.Oh and exciting as well, I traded some AR15 parts for some new scopes, so the 308 there in FDE now has a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x42 scope on it, instead of no name Chinese 3-9x50
survivalshop Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 If you have Firearms , a Safe is a must , for a lot of reasons . Nice score , I have to get a BCG for my BRO AR 15 build , so they will get some profits shortly to help pay for your safe <thumbsup>
beachmaster Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Don't worry, I could fit my safe inside of your safe... it looks exactly the same though lol
gnatshooter Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I don't have a gun safe. I have a 'gun room' which is also my computer room. Within convenient reach, I have 12 rifles and 3 pistols within reach. Oh, and there's also the crossbow made from an automobile leaf spring. My woodworking tools are easy to get at, and the kitchen is chock full of knives. I like the idea that I can grab my stuff whenever I need, and will need some persuasion to make it harder to get to my stuff.
beachmaster Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 I have been wanting to make a leaf spring crossbow to shoot footlong lengths of rebar...
gnatshooter Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I have been wanting to make a leaf spring crossbow to shoot footlong lengths of rebar... This thing shoots rebar. It's a total beotch to cock and will take your shoulder off dry-fire. Shoots smoother with rebar though. trajectory is flat, use some duct tape for "feathers". Good to 100 yards although I wouldn't want to take one at 200 yards. It's a serious shooter.
washguy Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Get you a couple of damp rid containers ,,,,,been using damp rid since 92 in my safe....you will amazed how much humidity it will pull out of your safe. Wash
EasyEJL Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah, I wasn't sure about using that vs using some of the battery powered electrical ones. Probably the damp rid is easier and cheaper :)
beachmaster Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Look into the Eva dry. They soak up moisture, and they show when they have soaked up their maximum amount of moisture, so you can plug it in and it will dry out in a few hours. I have one and I believe it works well.
Greyghost01 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 My wife got me one at the dollar store called moisture eliminator, I didn't think it would work boy was I wrong, I couldn't believe how well it worked. I keep two or three on shelf as soon as one gets 1" or so of water I toss it and open a new one. For a 1.00 you cant beat it. In Kolorado our humidity is usually pretty low. But this manages to suck a cup of water out of the air.
texas30cal Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Congrats, I was going to get that safe from Academy sporting goods, good safe for the money, but Gander mountain had a sale and ended up getting a 64 gun liberty, I got one of the 110v. peet dehumidifiers but we have LOTS of humidity here and it still stays at about 45% (inside the air conditioned house) so I have to get another to go along with it, going to check into the ones recommended here. I do not intend to hijack so feel free to warn/move/delete if needed, but my liberty safe has the expanding door seal which does no sealing unless it gets hot, right now it has about 3/16' movement in the door, with our high humidity would it be better if the door had a full time seal so once the dehumidifier dries it out it stays out? Sorry to hear about your dogs, it sucks when they are sick, they can't tell you like kids can, we just lost one too, he was my wifes baby, definitely the most affectionate dog I have ever seen, he developed a heart murmur/fast heart rate, meds helped, one week later he saw a coon on the carport and got excited so my wife picked him up and took him over to the sofa and he died in her arms, it was VERY rough.

sketch Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Get this for a garage safe its just that easy and cheep recharge the remdri in the oven! I just got 12-20 inches of snow today and hygrometer is in the low!! Yes it's pink but that's after 2years time to refresh!! Thanks fellas. Edited February 24, 2014 by sketch
DNP Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Also. Grab a small fireproof document safe to to throw in the bottom. These safes don't hold up all that well to fire. They help, but aren't really fireproof from everything I've seen. You can throw your cash and paper in the doc safe and it's even likelier to survive being in a safe inside a safe. ETA- by "these safes" I mean these types of safes...not these specific ones Edited February 24, 2014 by DNP
EasyEJL Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 I do have one, I was going to put the documents just into the safe, but its a good idea to leave em in the little firesafe and stuff that in
DNP Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Double protection. I think someone posted a 9 minute video on safes in one of the old threads and after watching how well they held up in house fires I could see why that would be important.
