I have to say I love the products I got from you today! Pics below show the "original" handgun hangers, two mag mounts, and rifle rods. Better organization means more room and more room means more guns! :)

off topic but,
I always assumed that storing mags loaded would decrease spring tention pressure and cause your mags to feed unreliably eventually after time,

anyone have any personal experiances to prove my theory wrong?
 
15 years of storing my magazines with rounds in them caused one of the three to have a weaker spring, and thats crappy smith and wesson 4046 40 caliber magazines. I now store my m&p 40c magazines one round short, as the 10th round is in there really tight and makes inserting the magazine on a combat reload a rather difficult and forced hassle
 
Some people say storing full mags will weaken the spring. Other people say the spring only loses flexibility from being worked (compressed and released) and it does not make a difference whether mags are stored full or empty. Any metal experts care to chime in?

Guess i should have read on before replying as i see others have posted the model number - Thanks!

Anyway hopefully the photo of the front may assist in finding these in store.

Sorry don't know, I have one of these myself and on the receipt it just says "gun safe" In the isle it was labeled as an "Executive Safe" and on the front it says "Protector by First Alert"

It is cycling a spring that affects tension. Keeping them loaded doesn't hurt them a bit.
 
Hello, Very nice setup! I like the iron also. Do not want to sound like a dumb person, but I thought ammunition was suposed to be stored in another locker and not in the same cabinet? Just wondering...

Not true, if in a safe. The guns must be unloaded though.

I like the small teaser ammo collection on the top shelf... it's cute. My ammo would fill that whole safe three times...
 
All this organization looks great just ordered a bunch of stuff including some of your lube/cleaners can't wait to do some before and after pics and also try out te new grease and lubes on my guns
 
Just finished getting one from Costco and that old saying "you get what you pay for" sure is true. I wasn't expecting a whole lot but never thought I would have to take it apart and reinstall the bottom door lock bolt that had fallen out and was laying inside. For the money it is a ok lock box but is no safe.
 
I have been looking for this safe for over a year and cannot find them at costco :( my brother has the same one from many years ago and it is amazing. One question I thought loaded mags and ammo are not allowed in the same safe as the firearms.

Thanks T

Where are you at? I really like what the op has done to his. This will work for me for awhile but see a room being built. As long as none of the magazines are in the firearm and they are in a "safe" then it is ok.
