Thread: E-Cat gun safe

Hi again. Just brought a E-cat gun safe off trade me. Brand new and well made. Here is a listing number on trade me 517646763, 6mm construction. But when i measure the thickness with vernia calipers, i read 5.80 mm. Have i been ripped off by the seller or is this normal, ie that is the machine grade of 6mm steel plate.

it is 1/4 inch plate thats all near enough to 6mm cops shouldnt make a fuss over it. i have never seen them measure the thinkness and mine is a home built safe.

1/4 inch is 6.35 mm. I wouldnt have a problem. I think the cheeky little asian has a 5 mm safe with a thick coat of paint on it. Payed 70 bucks frieght to. Is it still worth the risk of being declined by the police or should i find the guy and lean the safe against his front door. Payed 670 all up.

how many more coats of paint till is up to 6mm?

Haha good point!

Let us know how you go with AO pls, could be keen on something similar.

Sounds like you're making plans.

Yup including a new gun roof under the house.

Mine was measured

Spanners. With a ruler or calipers? I spoke to the guy this morning. Said he would take it back if it fails. Problem is it wont be geting checked until i apply for my b endorsment 4 months away. Hell be back in china by then i bet haha!

Calipers on the door and internal lip.

Sounds like its made of 24 or 25 gauge sheet

Will def be following this with interest. When something is half the price of normal price, then it does raise my eyebrows. But then if it does the job . . .

I can get no-name safes cheap from the mfg
I'd bring a bunch in if there was a call, however storing and moving 10x 200+kg safes isnt the easiest thing to do

Surly if it fails im aloud to lean it against his door and wait for him to open it? That cant be illegal surely? 120 kg.

Group buy!! Put up a thread, pre-sell, get deposits. I'm keen for one, if it's a 10 gun sort of size
