Thread: Container door gun safe - what do you think?

id the container as my gun safe

I see the offer has closed but a quick search revealed another interesting item:

I'm tempted by a revolving one I saw at Rusty Dog. The label says 14 but I'm thinking 10 or 11.

Going to need a lot of orders to fill a container if it is a shipping container.

Well, I didn't buy it. One of the issues with my current safe is that my semi-auto shotgun won't fit in it if assembled. Some rough sums suggest I would have the same problem with the Container Door safe because of the stupid ammo box at the top.

Can anyone recommend a 3 - 4 gun safe that actually accommodates 3 - 4 guns including a semi-auto shotgun (length 125cm) and scoped rifles? I don't want to spend any more than I have to on a box.

way too small

I have a buffalo hunter or river something or something or rather that's marketed as an 8 gun safe. Mine looks identical to the one in the ad.

It's not really an 8 gun safe. Unless they're skinny 22's. More like a 5. It would work better if I had more guns in it which is something that I'm working on. As currently the rifles twist about a bit and can sometimes knock the scopes. Which annoys the crap out of me.

Mine cost 300 odd dollars off trade me.

What I think I'll do is some insulation off cuts from work and just double sided tape it to the side walls so that the scopes don't get knocked around and that the gun stay in place.


My safe is 1.5m high and 1.3m space for the guns I think. I can check for sure if yah like.

Be careful of moisture getting in the insulation.
There's ASSET'S in those safes

That's a good point. I'm already struggling to keep the humidity low. I have a rechargeable dehumidifier in there and a big dehumidifier outside but the power bill has shot up so back to lots of oil and small dehumidifier.

Any suggestions on what to use? Cotton wool maybe?

Something that won't make the metal sweat. And get some silica gel packets

A small cabinet heater works well in my safe

I will look into them thanks.
