Alternative gun storage.

Yea it does. It comes with a bunch of other stuff but a lot of it is cheap so Im going to replace everything with the same stuff but better quality.

Ya its pretty cheap, I plan on doing the same thing soon. Make a little survival bag

You planning is great mastermind you have But I think it is not safe. You have to do something to make them more safe. It will be good for you.

You type like Yoda.


@ OP; Cool idea. What's the pack hanging in the middle?

[NiteQwill]

Better than nothing, but remember...

It doesn't matter how heavy the thing is. I've seen 2 ton safes easily moved by 2 people, a few 1" bars, a fridge dolly, and minimal tools. Weight has nothing to do with security.

Bolt the sucker down.

I have looked all over and because the revolving plate is underneath, I cannot bolt on the bottom. Since it has to be caddie cornered I cannot bolt the back. IM LOST!!!

I think bolting that thing down is a little extreme. It is a filing cabinet, not a gun safe. It offers limited protection as you already know. A determined thief is going to open it and get the contents instead of taking the whole cabinet.

However, I do know these units and if you want to bolt it down I can offer some tips.

I would say the weakest point on this is the lock. Bolting it down is worthless when it would take a competent thief a minute or two to get past that lock and revolve the cabinet around. The other issue however is if you start putting heavier duty locks, etc on it, that screams...Hey I have something in here I really don't want you to have. Double edged sword.

Brilliant

I'll take two.

How much time did you sped just standing there spinning that thing?

Great point. I think I'll leave it as it is until I can come up with something clever.

Another GREAT point. I think I will just deter the would be thief by putting a big sign that says, "Does not revolve. No important things on other side, especially guns . Waste O' time, grab the macbook instead", on it.

Hahaha. Probable pretty sad but I still go and play, "now you see it, now you don't", about once a day. Don't tell anyone...
