RecessedFilter 222 Posted November 15, 2013 I don't have any experiences with these safes but I will shed some light on gun safes and their capacity. Be careful with what you choose. A 24gun safe may fit 24 stock Ruger 10/22's, and that's if you spend 20mins trying to figure out how to accomplish that, but once you start putting in bolt action rifles, SxS shotguns, and scoped long guns, your capacity will dramatically decrease. I have a "18" gun that I have 12 guns in. Talk about lame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted November 15, 2013 Oh and that 64gun safe everyone is talking about is probably only good for the person that is interested in it, BLF! I'm going to guess something of that size will probably hold about 40 guns and you will never want to open that thing up unless your pulling out the first 3 guns closest to the door. When I say it'll be perfect for BLF, I mean it'll be perfect for anyone who never takes guns out of their safe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogfarmer 138 Posted November 15, 2013 any thought on the F&S 24g safe? would u recc the bigger one on sale this year? some feedback is greatly appreciated. Its freaking tiny, exactly what Recessed said. Its fine if you have no scoped rifles or AR type guns. Its good for ammo and handguns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Njbanshee 9 Posted November 16, 2013 I have the 32 gun safe now. It doesn't hold near 32 guns. I'd say about half of that. Other than that it's great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted November 16, 2013 I've been saying it forever. Safes are still being made for straight guns. If they sell it as a 24 gun safe, it will hold 50% or less modern tactical guns or long guns with big optics... Formula very rarely fails. Of course it you have 24 Fudd guns, 24 will work fine!

The_Matrix 105 Posted November 16, 2013 I'm going for the 32 gun safe. Looks like a great deal. Just have to fight with all the animals on Black Friday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 50 Posted November 16, 2013 I have the 32 gun safe now. It doesn't hold near 32 guns. I'd say about half of that. Other than that it's great. I guess Im one of the lucky few. I have the 18 gun safe and currently have 15 rifles and 9 handguns stuffed in there, most of them "tactical" style rifles or shotguns. Its at capacity though, might be able to squeeze one more slim rifle in...maybe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,878 Posted November 16, 2013 I was thinking of getting that 24 gun one myself. I don't need it to hold 24 - it will hold what I own with some room to spare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be an all day effort to get to a gun in the back! I bought a 22 gun safe a few years ago when I had 3 handguns and 1 rifle. I use the shelves, so technically, 11 long guns. With scopes and ARs I have 8 long guns in there, but 2 are ARs that are broken down. I thought about a larger say, but instead, due to the moving around of long guns to get to the ones in back, I think I'd rather get another similar safe instead of trying to jam a bunch into one big one and then deal with the issues of emptying it out to get to the back.

NJSigfan 218 Posted November 24, 2013 Kinda off topic, but will mossberg 500 accessories fit the Mav 88? I bought an ATI 12 gauge fore end by mistake and this might be the excuse I need to keep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emajy 0 Posted November 25, 2013 Bought the Maverick 88 at the sales price in Freehold today. Got there at 10:30 am and waited an hour and a half because they were under staffed. No one was waiting when I left around noon. I get to pick the shotgun up any time my paperwork clears. So no rush now.

AlDente67 563 Posted November 26, 2013 If anyone is looking to upgrade their safe to a larger one, I would happily buy your old one if you want to get rid of it. My collection is small, so I can live with a cramped one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
