I'm gonna put that.... where?
Oh dear.
Seems I have a burgeoning storage problem. I don't have room upstairs for a safe big enough to hold everything, and I'm not going to put a safe downstairs until I can afford to have a foundation specialist come out and ensure I won't find my precious rifles with their buttplates in stagnant water one morning.
Like I can afford a safe or a foundation repair anyways... I am but one man, and it seems, at least in this way, I've already outgrown my home.

EDIT: Ok, I know someone's going to ask, so I'll nip that in the bud...

Someday, not soon, I'll start detailing these in photos like I've promised for over a year. I am, as previous post suggests, busy.

Please, Please, Please, buy something to secure those wonderful tools. I worked in a gun store and cannot tell you how many people came in looking for a safe after they had been robbed. (It was a lot, at least one a month.) Anything is better than stuffed in a closet. Most break ins are quick they don't like to spend tons of time in your house. If you hide it they will find it. Don't think chaining them together works either. One guy lost 14 rifles cabled together with 6 cinder blocks. The broken blocks were all that was left behind. What I used at first was a pickup truck bed toolbox with extra locking hasps. Anything that would take 20-30 minutes of prying is sure to slow the amateur down. You can't expect to stop a pro.
Ah, but what you don't see, Mr. Anonymous, is that those are mirrored sheetmetal doors, with locks. I've also engineered those locks to where if you pry on the doors, you're going to get a hand and face full of plate glass mirror shards.
I had plenty of time to think about it... thanks for the concern :)
