Thread: DIY Gun Safe

The Arms Act / Regs just specifies to keep out of reach of small children and casual thieves for Cat A, so a strong box seems OK, I suppose it depends on the AO. All the Cat A's I have looked at are 2~2.5mm sides with 3mm front, this includes ones in shops for $350 v the Trademe ones for <$200. Gunshitty for instance does a real cheap and nasty looking one and they want $299.

A Category Gun Safes - Gun City

They also list a box there under cat A with 2mm...

The other thing by the same ppl is a personal safe for about $150 thinking I might use it for bolts etc in a different part of the house.

Cat E seems to be a whole new ball game, if I was doing that I'd see my AO and ask what would satisy him, but 6mm seems the minimum steel, some on trademe have an engineers report to go with it.
