Gun Owning Smokers

[CptnBlues63]

I feel your pain. I'm more or less out of room in my 20 (I think) gun safe I also have the majority of my ammo in it as well though. Not sure If I'm going to upgrade it when I get back, or just move y ammo somewhere else. Probably the latter. I also just realized I have no idea what the combo is, or where I wrote it down at.

LOL

I bought a 3 pack of trigger locks and put one key on my key ring and stashed the rest. A few months later, I can't find the rest of the keys so just to be safe, I had two made. About a year back, some 3 years after the aforementioned brain fart, I find the rest of the keys locked in my gun cabinet buried under some boxes of .22's

I hope you find, or remember your combo before you do anything drastic!

As for the ammo, I bought a separate storage container a while back that I really like. It might be just the kind of thing you need:

Gun safe is in the closet finally.

But i pulled mussel or something doing it my self, tried to move the safe inside while it was strapped down to a 6 foot long pallet that weighed a extra 50 lbs or so.
I am getting to old to move stuff like this by my self.

Now that it is in i think i will do a stackon cabinet on the other side of the closet for ammo, i haven't bolted it down yet but maybe this weekend if i have time it will get it bolted to the wall.
All of my AR's are too short for the rests so i used 50 cal cans to prop them up. safe is 20x20x50 and will hold maybe 14 long guns with scopes mounted crammed in it.

I need a few moor hand guns and to complete the last AR build.

That's a nice little stash you got there Mangy! CPT, I thought about getting something like that. Right now it's all (almost) in a wooden crate I got off craigslist for 15 bucks. It probably measures 3.5'x1'x1' or so. I'll probably just go with a shelf-system in the future. At least my guns are all in a box in storage...at least I hope that's where they still are, so they aren't currently in the safe. I definitely need to invest in a hand truck at some point. Moving that that safe from my truck, through my garage, through my house, and into it's corner by myself was a huge pain.

Eville if you have a fire proof safe defiantly get a hand truck.
I went to gander mountain and checked out all the safes and the non fireproof one is the only one i could move that and the small 8 gun one.

I like all guns it don't mater who makes it as long as it fires.

Agreed! Would love to come visit and go to the range and try a few out!

We could sit and smoke cigars and clean guns afterwards (one of my favorite times to have a cigar actually)

I bet your crate is every bit as effective as my box for storage. We have to have our ammo locked up separately or I'd just keep mine in my locking gun cabinet.

Getting drunk tonight and smoking a hex from the last trade, headed to the range in the morning.
Friend of mine wants to shot his webley mark 3 revolver that we worked up a load for and i want to work on my hangover shooting skills. nothing like a 300 win mag going off with a hangover.
God i hope we do not blow up a 130 year old gun, we were a little drunk when we loaded the ammo.

Any time you are down this way let me know i am always up for a range trip.

Hope you had a good time at the range! How'd the Webley stand up to the loads?

I'm hoarding 2 of those Hex's, saving them for summer when it's warm out and I can sit on my deck in the sun and sip sweet tea and take my time with it. I'm also looking forward to a range trip when it warms up and the snow melts!

Right back at you btw..........if you're ever this far north, just call and we'll go smoking/shooting.

Well i keep doing stupid stuff.

I had a brain fart and decided i need one of them new pellet guns to shoot in the back yard.
I had bb guns my entire life and kind of missed plinking away with them in the yard.

They are not toys any more i went with a crosman phantom 22 cal and the damn thing shots threw my crossbow target and dint's the hell out of the hard plastic trashcans.
I am fairly sure my ass is grass the ricochets from the trashcan behind the target were pinging off the wife's car parked on the other side of the yard.
Now that i read the instructions i find out they make 2 versions of this gun one that is 450fps for Canada and this one is up to 950fps for the USA.

Yep printed right on the box 950fps maybe i need to start reading before i jump in. that is almost what a 22 short travels at.
