| Can someone recommend me a local place to buy a basic gun safe for under $400. |
I got one of theseCLICK HERE at walmart for $250, I use it just for ammo they also have a bigger one for a little more than $400. I think if your gonna spend $400ish you should save a little bit more because sportmans have a couple real good ones for approx. $600

You could always put THIS on your front door to your house  But seriously check Craigslist, I got a basic 2 key Homak closet safe for $25 off from there.

If you want the best.......www.graffundersafes.com/ You have to see one in person. Best safes I've ever seen, but they are rather costly

Impressive. A 5400lb safe must be quite a sight. Makes the AMSEC RF6528 at 3400lb seem like a lightweight! I couldn't find any TL-30 or TL-15 UL rating though. Do you know if Graffunder submit to UL testing? Cheers 7.62 |

I drove up to the Graffunder factory about a month ago. They're in Yakima, WA. I got a tour of the facilities by a fabricator and was VERY impressed with their construction. Needless to say, they don't skimp on materials, and they are certainly not mass produced. I think they only put out about 40-50 safes a month. They are truly handmade, and done by people that still take pride in their work. I think the TL15 & 30 ratings are available by request and would be a custom safe, which they will build but I could be mistaken. Anyhoo... I bought an "Economy" model Graffunder, the B7240. I upgraded the lock to a Group 1, and it "Only" weighs 2100 lbs, and cost me $ X,XXX (A lot !). As far as weight in an apartment, if your floor can hold up two people hugging, a 400 lb. safe distributes the weight over a much greater area, so don't sweat it. I put an 800 lb. safe in an upstairs closet once, and the floor never even creaked. I could acutally push it around on the carpet by myself. I guess the bottom was a gloss finish also. |
I just got one of those! I'm building a vault for mine! |
