I here ya, I have each gun locked with a different type of lock and the keys, FP and bolts are in the safe with Uncle Sam. Can't have enough safety, I even put up digicams wired to a computer located out of the room and send the pics to the server at work. A very close friend lost his 12 year old brother last Oct from a very un-fortunate, very preventable event. I keep his pic on my safe as a constant reminder-SDH

I love that basement. Always something new down there. Why no pictures of the wall of knives?

I posted it once in the knife section, but, not too much response, Oh well-SDH

i like the concept of using the space , im concerned about the dead load it applys but its probably not excessive depending on whats going on above , i did get a major crick in my neck trying to look at each one

I figure the house was built in 1863, cracks add a little to the atmosphere-SDH

works for me - i think your basic 10 lbs applied as two point loads of 5lb each spaced in an area of 1.5 square feet , is not much more than a very small dog of just over 3lbs ---but then most of us dont have so many small dogs covering that much square footage in our homes

cracks are like wrinkles though - they add character :>}

I agree entirely, I'm glad my kids don't play the piano-SDH

What are the advantages of storing rifles minus the bolts?

its a 'safe storage' thing , like trigger locks , cant shoot it if the bolt is locked in a safe ,
