    Are there acceptible gun safes

    Hi All

    Would anyone know if these are any good for storing guns? Will they scrape by or are they actually good? Hard to tell from the advert. Link below

    TIA

    It certainly appears to be OK for A category provided it was bolted down (2 surfaces)

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I have the smaller 5 gun version of this safe and it’s decent. Wouldn’t call it super heavy duty but I would be very surprised if someone said it wasn’t up to scratch. Have it bolted to wall and floor and it’s rock solid. Would be happy to recommend

    I've just made a plywood cabinet as per their guide and it passed no worries( it was for a mate who isn't planning on getting any firearms but needed a cabinet for the licensing part)

    The steel gun safes for sale in the shops have all been individually Police approved for the categories advertised (ie: 6mm steel for cats B, C, P).

    Tip:

    whenever you see a shop on trademe, google if you can find their online shop.

    trademe are a bunch of ***** that charge ridiculous fees and often online shop prices will be cheaper. If not, at least you have not given $ to tm...

    270 is a harmonic divisor number[1]
    270 is the fourth number that is divisible by its average integer divisor[2]
    270 is a practical number, by the second definition
    The sum of the coprime counts for the first 29 integers is 270
    270 is a sparsely totient number, the largest integer with 72 as its totient
    Given 6 elements, there are 270 square permutations[3]
    10! has 270 divisors
    270 is the smallest positive integer that has divisors ending by digits 1, 2, …, 9.

    how does the lock work? I.e. can you open those saves when there are no batteries in it? I hate stuff that relies on electricity...

    I keep my single shot in my safe with a trigger lock as there is no bolt to be removed and stored, just me being pedantic I guess
    Happy Jack.
