Big ditto on everything CB posted, plus the following: - as a rule (with very few exceptions) do not believe the stated capacities for long guns. Knock anywhere from a 1/3 to 1/2 off for a more realistic estimate, unless you have nothing but .22 single shot youth rifles. Sturdy is one...

My 3627-6 firelined Sturdy was delivered a year ago and I 'd be hard pressed to be more pleased. When Sturdy says a particular model will hold X number of long guns, you should get real close if you don't hit the number, unless you're trying to stuff it with .50's and punt guns. Their...

Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP (Leather Preservative) Used to use Snow Seal until I found Obenauf's - only thing that hits my boots now. Using a hairdryer to pre-heat boots and/or warm the surface after application helps with penetration/absorption. Just warm them not scald/burn them. I've also...

Gun safe recommendations is a topic that has been well covered here - my first suggestion is to search the forum (and a few other sites) for a hefty amount of info that will help you refine your needs - that's what I did (repeatedly) before finally buying a Sturdy. Then you'll come up with more...

36% slope?!? Definitely have a Plan B ready to implement with all of your own help when the truck arrives, 'cause it wouldn't surprise me at all if the driver takes one look at the slope and laughs while sitting the safe on the curb. Did you happen to mention the driveway slope to Sturdy when...

Went to the Farm Show in Louisville on Thursday, 2nd day of a 4 day show. There's a gun safe dealer who shows up each year (and at the State Fair too). I didn't count how many he had - maybe 20 or so? - but I believe a good half of them had "sold" signs then, certainly seemed a much higher %...

Sweet. My pair of 10's includes a 6 1/2" 610-2 (non-fluted) and a 1006 w/ adjustable sights. I love shooting the 610, even though I still haven't taken the time to find the "perfect" load. Shortly after I bought it I took it to the monthly silhouette shoots and it earned the (unfortunate)...

a1, cesium, and others all make some very good points. Speaking for myself, I'm under no delusion that my Sturdy will forever protect my firearms from all sorts of evil mutant zombie attacks, Armageddon, or the very fires of Hades:evil::fire:. I bought one to have some piece of mind when...

Trent, Ok, since you asked, I started out wanting to keep the investment for a safe to @ $2500 or less, but finally went up to $3000 to get a larger size (and I'm glad I did). I've been looking at safes for years but have never been completely satisfied with what I've seen at countless gun...

Liberty or Browning Of the two you list, I'd toss the Liberty right out of consideration because of the internal hinges, especially on a safe of that size and heavy door. If the Liberty doesn't have a floor flush with the bottom of the door opening, that's another con IMHO. I believe the...

Handgun safe storage Go talk to to a custom cabinet maker. IMHO your best alternative is to completely remove the shelves, racks, and vertical partitions and have a shallow drawer cabinet built to fit inside the safe. Guess-timating @ 3" overall height per drawer allows for 4 drawers per...

I'd adjust that really good advice slightly to read "what it sells for on Gunbroker - there are a boatload of listings on GB that never sell (and are continuously re-listed) because the prices + shipping & FFL are way too high. Search the completed auctions to see what actually sold (and not...

Thanks Frank, he's gonna check with Bass Pro about the warranty. We weren't "too" serious about wacking the top off - you need to understand the personality involved - his front bumper plate reads "MOVE!" in reverse. It's hard to resist stirring the pot sometimes... My first thought was that...

Preferably repair, yes. Mangle and destroy, (like we "helpfully" suggested) hopefully not. Safe came from Bass Pro, he seems to think it might still be under warranty (or at least he hopes it is). Being completely clueless on the cost of safe techs and house calls and such, and realizing...

Co-worker (actually The Boss) came in this a.m. saying "You won't believe what happened to me..." Seems he closed the door and turned the handle on his 5 yr old Granite gun safe, and the handle kept on turning. Now he's got a locked safe full of boomsticks with a free-wheeling handle, and he's...

Other than seconding Spammy about getting a beam scale (my experiences with digital haven't been stellar), I'll also recommend a set of check weights (if none or only a few large ones come with the digital scale) and max cartridge/case length gauges at least for any rifle calibers you start...

Well I can't participate in the poll either, but it's because there's no "almost all of the above" option. I generally don't like single brand kits because IMHO no single brand has an absolute lock on making the best of everything (or more correctly, what suits me best). I've got at least two...

Yeah well, it does help if you have a little OCD in you.... I've got two Uniflows, one each large and small with the mic screws and baffles. The mics and baffles really do make a difference in helping keep very consistent charges. I found I would tend to unintentionally tweak the charge...

Good to hear that you got everything worked out to both side's satisfaction. I too like to get a live body on the phone when possible - either prior to bidding to confirm options/condition, or afterwards to confirm FFL and total costs, but I don't consider it a mandatory requirement if the sale...

A scam on his part? Not too likely, with his good rating and other recent sales history. A weak excuse because he doesn't want to deal with FTF transactions? Maybe, but then it's not his responsibility to make things easier and cheaper for you after the auction is over. He may well be...
