New Safe
New Safe
Got a new Winchester 26 safe yesterday, and lugged it in with the help of a young friend from work and his brother. The good news is, now most of my stuff is secured in one vault that’s fire-rated too.
The bad news is I still have room for more stuff…

Re: New Safe
Yeah that will change…. Buy as big of a safe you have the budget for . It will fill up!
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations!!!!
Re: New Safe
I saw they are on sale right now at Tractor Supply. I had one before and really liked it. Sold it to my brother when we went to Florida. I was going to get another for our current house but went with the 12 gun to hide it in a specific spot.

Re: New Safe
Just sold my biggest safe because I don't want to lug it cross country. My buddy asked for help loading on his trailer. Good use of smarts and physics allowed us to get a 1,000lb safe out of my garage an onto his trailer. I have to say I was not hopeful we could do it with just the two of us but he has experience moving heavy things and we managed to get it done. Not fun though...
Re: New Safe
Yep, that’s where I got it. My buddy and I went there first, then to Cabela’s to see what they had, and they were disappointing. None of theirs were fire-rated, and all were much pricier. So we both ordered the 26 from TS.
Re: New Safe
This one is just 350lbs or so, but with the help of a couple of strong youngsters and a hand truck it was no trouble. Of course, the crab legs afterwards may have been a motivating factor…Wambli Ska wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 4:22 pm Just sold my biggest safe because I don't want to lug it cross country.

Re: New Safe
Good on you. I have had to pay companies to move my 700# Liberty safe several times from houses and storage units. Hit to the wallet for sure, but way better than ended up under it like a Looney Tune.Wambli Ska wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 4:22 pm Just sold my biggest safe because I don't want to lug it cross country.

I wouldn't let the movers the Army uses to move an anvil.... they'd break it or lose it.

Re: New Safe
I’ve had to move it a few times already. I’ll just get a new one when I buy/build the next house. Anctially I’ll probably just build a vault room and get it over with. That way I’m not ever tempered to move a safe again. It sucks…shotgunshooter3 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:22 pmGood on you.

I was in the barracks and didn't have 500# all together. I'd say 20% disappeared.shotgunshooter3 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 9:26 pmI actually had really good luck with Army movers.jbp-ohio wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 9:24 pmshotgunshooter3 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:22 pm

I'm pretty sure I can credit Ron here with my moves going smoothly. Every one of them started with a phone call to him.Diver43 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 3:05 amIf your Military moves were thad bad, you should have contacted me.

Re: New Safe
Last time we moved I used a piano dolly to move the safe...worked like a charm

Re: New Safe
Now that I sold 40 firearms, my safe has plenty of room. Go Big is the way to go. I thought I'd gone big, but I soon filled out the safe beyond capacity. It had but an inch clearance when I moved it in. Make sure you set up the safe right...my Mauser cigarette gun won't fit; it's too long. Also two muzzle loaders.
