Lord of War Type Container Vault Interest ?

Keeping any sea can warm through the winter is no simple thing if it lives outdoors. Even with 6" of rockwool applied to the outside and sheeted in, they are VERY hard to keep warm when it's -30.
We use sea cans at the shop for secure storage and kept inside are no issue.

Super cool idea!! AR500 Steel walls so its bullet proof? Maybe some of those shotgun holes they got on armored trucks?? The perfect panic room. My 2 cents

Being able to drive your gun vault to the range would simplify a lot of things. Although I can see the "storage" and "transport" parts of the law pointing fingers at each other.

I have a spot where I can shoot 2700 yards up here. My county is working on a 2,000 metre range for next year. So happy to stay.

2,000 meters...nice. That would be a FUN range to shoot ! I'm just too old and soft to deal with the mosquitos and the 9 months a year of snow. Call me spoiled, lol. I'm a live and let live kind of guy though so if that's your gig enjoy it ! (and please understand this is just me joking around, take no offence to my ramblings) I spent many years riding the 'shut-down circuit' of B.C. and Alberta and many of those small towns really made me stop to think...'I could live here.' Then someone would remind me of what it's like in winter and the romance comes to an abrupt halt, lol.

In all seriousness though, when that range is opened could you post pictures ?

Some serious questions.
-once they easily slipped into a regular garage, what is next?
-will it be permanently stay in garage and store your guns there?
-can they be installed in basement? Break it down to several pieces and reinstall in basement? Just like Snapsafe.

Depending on the type of property adnd circumstances, you could always dig up beside the house, lay the box in, then seal it up, as an extension to your basement. In a perfect world the cost would be a lot but its also part of a major home reno, or in case of the neighbors, some yard work...

Do something like mister and misses smith the movie, under the garden shed
 
Definitely 120v plugs for the inside. Dedicating a reloading bench to one wall would be a wicked idea.

Food for thought on those who don't have heated spaces but want this to be heated (I'm a heat & frost insulator by trade). You could use utiladoor panels (urethane w/aluminum facing) around the outside, Rockwool and siding or polyiso board & siding with a space heater inside.

Another heating option would be to run electric heat trace with an insulated envelope. The electric underfloor heating mats that you install flooring over would be a good idea. May not fully heat it, but it would take the chill off your feet. Regardless, if its going into a unheated garage/shop and you plan on heating it, raise it off the slab a few inches and throw a bunch of rock wool underneath it so the slab doesn't cold bridge to the container, that would also help big time with humidity.

You ROCK Sir ! This is the information I was hoping would come from this thread. We all have a speciality and lots of us in the trades can pass on the knowledge with specifics like you have, THANK YOU, I will pass this on the the company that is making these and see if we can add the heated floor as an option since some folks won't have the experience to install technical things like this.

No worries, thanks for bringing this idea to the community. Also one more, if it's going to be powered maybe have a dedicated panel w/breakers on the unit itself. Could have a 120 option or a 220 option. I'm not sure how much a heated floor is going to eat up power wise but once you start adding things up, someone may want to look at running a dedicated line from the panel in the house/shop to the unit.
