That's so bad... I laughed.:D

It's an unopened box of them, and it's staying that way.:p From what I found with a quick search, they look fairly similar to blanks. I'd open it up to take a picture or two, but like I said in the first post, I'd rather keep it as-is since it was something from my grandfather.

If only I had the money to spare. My father was a real big John Wayne fan before he passed away. I remember when I was little, he worked the graveyard shift at Boeing. So sometimes I would stay up until he got home at around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, and we would sit in front of the TV...

That's what I had in mind actually. Just a temporary security cabinet(if they can even call it that) while the house is being worked on. Then once a safe is put in place, the rifles can be moved to that while the cabinet can just keep the ammo. Speaking of ammo, know of any decent places...

Or in this case, a box of .30cal M 6 rifle grenade cartridges.:eek: Picture 1 Picture 2 When my grandparents moved to their new place, my grandfather gave me some of his old firearm things, such as wooden cases and ammo cans. I had completely forgotten about the wooden cases until earlier, so...

That's close to what I was thinking as well. Having it in a corner and bolted down would make it a lot more difficult for them to go at it, and they'd have fewer sides to try at. I'd probably even go the extra step and build a small "work room" around the safe so they have to go through that...

Nice link tacticool, thanks. Not sure if I'll really need anything that expensive out here where I live, but the information on what to watch out for when buying is certainly useful.

That safe doesn't look too bad for that price. Their site lists them at around $600 but I suppose it might be worth checking out some local shops to see what they have available. As long as it keeps my grandfather's old Garand and Carbine safe, I'll be happy with it. Cabinet or safe though...

I'll have to look around for one like that. I was looking online on Gander Mountain's site at those Stack-On security cabinets as a cheaper solution. I know they wouldn't stand up as well as a real safe would, but we plan on remodeling part of the house eventually and having to move a large...

After recently moving back to this area, I found out there's a private range about a 5 minute drive from the house. I'd like to get in to target shooting, so after looking around for a bit I decided on getting a .22LR rifle to start out with. Lurked this forum for a while while trying to...
