Secret room/safe

Recommended Posts

When we get rid of our oil boiler we are turning that room into an armory. Concrete walls on all sides just needs a better door installed. About 10'x15' worth of space that will probably also be used as a cigar room

Exactly right , what me and mine are doing.  Just got about 30 awesome and I mean awesome acres in FL.  House is in revisioning draft process right now, getting the details re-checked out and adjusted.  Rather than spending $4000 minimum for an awesome safe ( you have to understand, If you do this to be pretty much perfect, it needs to be big enough to contain everything you have,  but even bigger for firearms expansion.  Has to be hard enough and fire proof enough to survive significant and I mean significant damage and fire, plus you will be installing it permanently through concrete floor bolting.  And perhaps a few other considerations I'll keep private, but that's the gist ... And this is for the safe room mind you.  PLUS We would then have at least 2 probably 3 or 4 cheaper "Gun Cabinets" because at least 2 people would be keeping a few particular firearms in their bedrooms, another in the garage maybe, plus another area of the house.  So it ADDS UP.

 

Rather we're going with a fully featured, significantly hardened Safe Room consisting of 15' high concrete walls, concrete floor, and ceiling.  And a very nice and costly door,  Then the whole room is a safe.  And you can throw a few cheap gun cabinets for simple storage or even storage via other means, and you're pretty much golden.

 

 

 

I try to keep some info out of the posting for public consumption but let the record reflect, it's pretty sweet.  The whole house is but the safe room is the bomb.

And hopefully designed to withstand F5 tornadoes while you are at it.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
