So I currently have have a 9x7 reloding room in the basement. We are starting a kitchen renovation in the coming months and I will have to dissassemble the walls and racks that I have to allow access for the plumber, Electrician, and HVAC. When I rebuild I plan on taking double the space. This was part of the agreement with the boss when we agreed on the kitchen redo.
I currently have two lockers 1 12gun with 10 rifles in it (thats all that fits), and another 12gun with rifles and shotguns stacked like cord wood. I despratly need to remedy this situation.
My question is can I build it into a "safe" room? By that I mean this room would take the place of a safe! I would still have a locker for ammo and components inside but it would take the place of a gun safe. and whats it gonna take to make it MA legal? I have been in the market for another safe and think this may be a better option.
My thought for wall construction is: Plywood, 2x4 studs, 1/4" sheet metal, 2x4 studs, plywood. Then a metal security door. the sheet metal I can get from work is $80 for 4x8 and I will need 7 sheets.
I did a search on NES and google and found mostly people talking about using block walls, which is also an option but a less desirable one as I am not a proficient mason.
