Current 1 weeks thread. There are many longarm safes given away just for your ability to take it.

"Ability to take it" is the operative phrase. At my age I'll pay for the safe and let them 'free' deliver it.
 
Hi,
I've put nearly 10+ similar varieties, DIY safe* projects up in last 8/10yrs plus. I hope someone here's benefited. I know of only 1 reply thats has made one similar project better than NIB. His recognition and ability to reused a "BIG NAME for the era" item for next to free. Just his professionalism, apparent fun and craftsmanship was astounding imo. Showed a just listed- 8/9/23 @12noon. Safe - free stuff
Better than NIB plastics MIC, but then the USAs masses agreed on that for MIJ plastics in the 70s.

Today the roads are filled with Toyotas, Lexuses and their followers as premiums USA options today.
I had a Corona, with #3 speeds on the column in 70s myself.
Aliens are now becoming legislatively mainstream. ;)
Hope someone can make use of it, whatever left of the safes abilites.
Life in these USAs.

Change the door knob on the closet for a deadbolt. Takes 2 minutes with a slotted screwdriver, and now you meet the "storage law"

This seems to be the best solution, simple and cost effective.

I wonder though if you would have to change the interior wood door to an exterior metal door to satisfy MA requirements???

Except BEWARE! :oops: HD4420 is not dead and buried yet. ☹️ No locked rooms allowed if it passes. 🤔
 
In another thread (I lost it) they talked about the vendor giving up a digital pass code for the safe. And many of the cheapie biometrics open for anything. But wouldn't simply taking out the batteries disable all the electronic locks (maybe after the backup rundown time)? Doesn't that reduce the safe to key only usage? Okay for a safe, but maybe not for your defense weapon, but at least the pistol would be child proof.

Gun Safe - free stuff - craigslist

PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION! I am moving and the gun cabinet/safe is not making the trip. It is a nice “Stack On” fire resistant model. My story : I opened to replace the batteries on the lock,...

Just remember. The ease that you moved the safe into your house under, is the same ease that a burglar can move it out.

My feeling on gun safes is that unless you want to build a solid, reinforced, steel and concrete vault with solid doors that can withstand jackhammers, burning bars, and torches, a determined burglar can get your stuff pretty easily.

The only lock you really need is a box that keeps the guns out of casual people's hands, including kids. The Stack On stuff does this fine.

I prefer to keep my mouth shut about what I own, keep it out of sight of anyone who comes into the house, and keep it locked enough so that some kid can't get into trouble with anything I own.

Yikes! $715 for a cheap-Chinese electronic locking safe? I think the OP is trying to avoid this.

There is no specification except the approval for trigger locks that must be sold with guns.

It is clear that an TRTL60X6 qualifies and that the privacy lock on a bedroom does not. The cutoff on the security continuum is up to how badly the system wants to get you and how good a lawyer you can afford.

Just get something like this, tip it up, put it on blocks to get it off the floor for the door to swing, and bolt it down. Do fire-code or whatever inside.

Those construction gang boxes (as we called them) aren't the best either. They used to just pry the top up on those and cut the locking hook with a sawzall for total access.
