    Maybe, but I can't personally see that all the tens of thousands of commercial gun cabinets out there (which are a huge step up from previous versions like clothing lockers and flimsy MDF cabinets) will become redundant. They offer a pretty good level of gun security. A determined thief will get into just about anything given time of course but generally time is not on their side.

    Yes well that was the plan and buy another 6 gun. I've purchased my parents property and the old boy has informed me he has lost the keys to my safe. So it's either one big one or a couple small ones

    Given enough time, motivation, and skill. Anything can be stolen.

    Increasing security increases the time and skill required is all.

    Size wise I think it depends a little on the brand. I have a stag creek 5 gun safe that can hold a few more with carefull arrangement.

    AO told me a story about a handfull of E cat rifles that were stolen a few years back. The bad buggers hotwired a 20T excavator and went in through the side of the house, ripped the E cat safe off it's mounts and dumped into waiting vehicle to be opened at their leisure. I'd find it hard to provide security that would not be compromised by a 20T excavator.... then of course they might use a 40T machine....
    40mm and Cordite like this.

    Getting OT now but here goes -

    Muzzle up or muzzle down makes no difference to the effect of ammonia based solvents in the bore. (I wont bother getting the duscussion of will it wont it damage tge metal.) Except as already stated muzzle up let's the goobies run into undesirable areas.
    I recovered a club mate's rifle that had the bedding awash in solvent. Had run back down, wicked thru the king screw and saturated the bedding. Probably why it had "gone off".

    I dumped my Sweets years ago. Likewise the Shooters Choice I had which stunk of ammonia. It was useless at any rate.
    There are far better non ammonia Cu solvents available now.

    I find the depth of most commercially sold safes to be a bit restrictive. Only the old man's 300 mag with it's big bulky nightforce scope has taken up two slots.

    Baronet, as long as you're feeling rich. They are changing the sizes at the moment to make them deeper and more usable.

    No. Because police enforce policy, not legislation

    I looked into getting a 10 gun safe, little bit more you can have a 20, got one of these, bloody impressive. But very very heavy.
