Thanks for moving the post.
Thanks for the recommendation of separating out the boxes and packaging. It would save a significant amount of space to remove them from the packaging and store them separately. But, I think I would really like to keep the coins, medals, etc with the ogp. There is so much of it. I might get some of it mixed up. Also, if something unexpectedly happened to me, I do not want my family to have to figure out which packaging goes with which item. I know it would save a significant amount of space to remove them from the packaging and store them separately. It will most likely come to that. I have collected for a lot of years. I plan to collect for many, many more years. I purchase a whole lot more than very few I ever sell, trade or give away.
I have started to do some research on the new safe. I took a look at the Champion Safes Model T and some of the other safes Champion had on their website that was recommended above.
I think the Triumph Model T40 (38" x 66 ΒΌ" x 29") with the "Executive" Shelves insert would store and protect my collection. Also, there is an optional extra top shelf, so I could expand another level. However, it looks like that safe is about $2,200 to $2,400 new, depending on how far I am willing to drive to pick it up.
I think something on that size (or slightly larger) would allow me to move a lot of my displaced firearms to the other safes I have. I am going to start checking around a little harder and try to find something on the used market or a little closer to my price range. I was hoping to spend between $1000 to $1500 depending on the ratings, size, and condition. However, I guessing better safes are like other things in general, you get what you pay for.
Does anyone have anymore recommendations or where to look for a good safe?
Thanks all.
