Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Mine would have to be in the garage as well. I live in a rental house, so this is no where near permanent, and my basement steps wouldn't allow it. Especially not one in the 40 gun capacity.
I assume HBAR's explanation was satisfactory. I have worked 4 safe explosion cases, 2 were powder ignition, one from an electric dehumidifier and one undetermined. The other two were ammunition cooking off. One was a robbery gone bad with a torch causing the ignition and the other was a house fire in the mountains.
On a few of the grounders, ammo in the safe had cooked off, but the quantity was low. Lots of damage to the interior and the guns, but no explosion of the safe itself.
How does this apply to storying ammo in ammo cans, which are in essence a "steel container" filled with ammo?
The deformation energy of steel ammo cans is so low as to not be of concern.Originally Posted by hatidua

I got my Winchester from Sutherland, it was $1300, and worth it! It's fire rated, and can hold guns, ammo, cleaning supplies, and important documentation.
the only setback, is how the F you move it!! they are HUGE and HEAVY!!!! so keep that in mind.
