Hello Borg Collective,
Gun safe question (and yes I know that Sports Afield (SA) is cheap Chinesium).
But I'm on a very tight budget trying to help three daughters thru college simultaneously.
Nevertheless, I've long outgrown my 24(?) gun safe (yes, I partially blame @bgoum for his Henry group buy).
MY QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS A CHEAP POS,,, But can I spend `$550 elsewhere and get more bang for my buck !
So,,, Sam's Club (SC) is having a one-day-sale this Sat for $100 off their model Model # SA59-36SM-D
www.samsclub.com
SC's website is in some details incorrect (floor model visual confirmation) and some info is lacking entirely. But I've confirmed the following either visually or with a phone conversation with SA.
- It is 14 gauge
- It actually has 3 fixed bolts & 6 action bolts (SC's website is incorrect)
- there are no interior electronics (neither AC outlets nor USB receptacles) but has blow-out plugs above the 2" water mark.
- The door IS removable, so handling this 500+ Lb box will be a bit easier (confirmed w/ SA - ignore website comment).
- Mfg. Lifetime lockout warranty (& other warranty ) are still valid even thru SC purchase).
- Safe is most similar to SA Model "HAVEN 5930SA0H"
