Just a word of warning to anyone that thinks they are safe with a security box or less, you might want to reevaluate how much you value your firearms. This revolver, my Remington 788, and my Ruger standard auto were all in a Stack-On (GCB-14P or GCB-914) security cabinet at my dad's house, along with some of his guns. They pried the upper corner of the cabinet open with a standard 6-12" screwdriver and peeled back half the door. They got my Revolver and about 8 of his guns including a very nice Caspian Custom 1911. Mom and dad gave me one of the same cabinets at Christmas last year, but that will be getting moved and used for nothing more than ammo storage. We will both be purchasing actual safes if we can find the sizes, price range, and options we are looking for. I'll probably start a new thread asking for opinions on those.My 44 mag
Yep will definitely get a good fire safe, but will start a new thread on that if I feel the need.
I wouldn't even know where to begin with that one. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea though. One box of .45 APC was stolen along with dad's 1911, and it was reported to the police. Not sure, but I think all of the stolen hand guns were loaded. I know my 44 was. Could you imagine if a stolen gun/ammo was used in a future crime and they found our prints on a casing. Both of us are/were federal employees so our prints are on record. That would royally suck. Yep I might just have to add that to the next version of the log.
That would be almost impossible for our houses. We have no clue what's there and isn't anymore. They way stuff has gotten scattered, lost, broken, and replaced over the decades I doubt that either of us know what we have anymore.
Yea, but if it does turn up with serial numbers they are on record. That means that they get busted, and we get protected if used in a crime. Also means if they are recovered they might mike their way back to us. On the flip side if they turn up without a serial that's bad news for the person that has it then.
Not arguing but it is too bad there isn't a more definitive way to mark it as yours.
this is a good idea. on my guns, i usually take off the butt paid and either carve my initials, or put my b-day or the last 4 numbers of my SS# in there. that way, if it gets stolen and turns up i can say pull off the butt pad, you'll find this number or these initials inside the buttpad.
Sorry should have clarified, I was talking about tools there. Most of our tools are an assorted collection obtained over the years, and thanks to a certain individual playing with dad's tools as he was growing up and not putting them back where they belonged... Now that I'm grown and a mechanic myself I better understand the value of those tools, but the workshop they belong in is in dire need of replacement. Once we get dad a new large workshop built, we will probably start organizing and rebuilding the tools collection starting with a larger better box.
