have one of us ak builder use our spot welder to spot weld a heavy tab with a hole for the lock on the front of the can then use a cutoff wheel to cut a slot in the ammo can latch tab

Spot welder. Why didn't I think I that? Good idea.

Thanks.

Then where would I put the guns?

Funny

Exactly. I can't get more than 5 long guns, half a dozen pistols and 10k rds in my safe.

you obviously need a bigger safe. i dont want my ammo walking off anymore than i do my guns,

in fact i have been looking for a second safe myself just for ammo, or maybe just a really big one and sell my 28 gun

I never said anything about having ammo in the cans. I just wanted to know how to put a lock on them in a crafty fashion.

Then I would just have to buy more guns to fill it. Funny how a 28 gun safe only fits what I described.

In all seriousness, I'm going to be fitting locking bars on some HD rivet-lock shelving so if they do try to get away with ammo cans, they'll have to work at it.

There's way more electronics in the house that are worth more than the ammo and easier to take so it would have to be a pretty dumb burglar to wanna spend time sawing through security bars.

P.S. I can't recall the thread, but someone mentioned NRA "insurance" as part of the benefits.

The insurance is only $2,500 base and requires activation...

• $2,500 of ArmsCare coverage with your NRA membership. This plan covers insured firearms, air guns, bows and arrows against theft, accidental loss, and damage. Insurance must be activated.
  For purposes of insurance, NRA members must be current active members of the NRA whose name appears on the NRA membership list. Activation is required.

That IS funny.

I was part of that. I do need to make the cans locking but for now the cans are chained to wire rack shelving so yes someone could open the cans but a grab and go is not in the cards.

I ended up with a job site box. Not fire proof but rain and theft resistant. Just don't know if I'll be getting it out of the basement.
