Cool pics.
Very nice!
Your gun collection is a must be a sight to behold. People have asked me how guns do you have, I answer in "safes", but dont tell them for anyone to be the wiser I dont really have 3 guns. Do you have a safe or a bunker Oliar?

I have several safes. Still dreaming of a proper man cave / storage roomQuote:

Reinforcing walls, ceilings and or floors is about like building a new house, trying to hang a vault door on an interior wall door jam is pretty temporary. I've seen about a dozen people do it with different levels of limited success.Quote:

So while movies tell us this is what we want, the secret room of secrets, in the practical world having safes dispersed throughout your home is far more practical for many reasons. I have a finished, and dry (low humidity) basement and I can't even do the cool "wall bank of safes" because I need to get at electrical outlets and it's nice to have furniture so I'm not sitting on the floor when I watch tv.
I have some lightweight gun cabinets upstairs for stuff like hunting / plinking firearms and my WWII / C&R type stuff. For anyone who doesn't know me, these are the only guns I actually own. I also have a RSC type safe in the bedroom closet for home home defense guns.
But how I would love to have them on display, floor to ceiling like Reed Knight. I can remember back in the 70s when several of my dads friends had impressive collections on display like that in their living room. I can remember one back bedroom with a wall of Lugers, 1911s, Nambus and such, hundreds of them. Another wall with racked WWI / WWII rifles, perhaps 50-60 in standing racks with exceptional examples on the wall above. It would be nice if we still lived in a world where it was safe to do such a thing.
Of course, living in Die Schweiz, OLIAR15 has options unavailable to us Americans. The Swiss government has decommissioned several installations that were formerly a part of Fortress Switzerland. Depending on his budget, he may be able to find his dream man cave already built.

I knew one guy who bought a bank vault and put it in his garage. Took up most of the garage and was hardly cheap, but it worked.
