Looking to get a new gun safe. (64 gun possibly). Any good recommendations? I saw on this sight once about a place in Mississippi possibly that sold scratch and dent models. Anyone know the name of that place?

Mike Wards is your answer if you're in LA.

I have a fat boy Jr that I am trying to get a sale price for, but can't get it figured out...

Almost no company will post their prices online. Almost no safes are bought online, so no motivation for them to list them.

Call or go visit.

I have a liberty colonial 50 I bought from Mike Wards. They delivered and bolted to my floor. I believe I paid around $2700. The 50 won't hold 50 but I probably have 40 in it between pistols, long guns and several SBR's.

It would be helpful if you would tell us what kind of a price you are looking at spending on one. I recently bought a Cannon 64 wide body from Tractor Supply when they were on sale recently. I paid 799 and regular price was 999. I know if isn't the best safe out there, but it fit my needs and keep my rifles and guns locked up with my 2 y/o son running around the house. It also has a 1 hour fire protection rating, so it gives me a small piece of mind to be able to keep important documents safe in the event of a fire. I know any thief with the right tools and the right amount of time can open it up, but highly unlikely with a break in. Plus there will be two pissed off German Shepherds waiting on them if they kick the door in.

You want a safe with a uni body construction at the very least. Most of the big box store safes can be opened in less than 10 minutes by any hood rat. Also make sure it gets bolted to the slab.

depends on what you are honestly expecting it to be able to do. I picked up a TSC 64 gun model for 980 after tax last weekend. Will it stop someone who really knows what they are doing, not really. But it keeps my son's friends out of it, gives me a little fire protection and at least makes it a PITA to get to them. I'll end up putting another small fireproof safe on the bottom shelf filled with important documents, pics and an external hard drive of pictures of my family. Just remember to invite a couple of friends over to get it moved in. 600 pounds doesn't sound like a lot until you realize the sides are slick and there are no handholds.

Ask your insurance agent to define a fire-proof safe.

I bought a 64 gun from Mike Ward's in BR and wish I would have went with a nicer safe. The safe I have is fine but I wish I would have known more about the bolt size and amount of bolts it has. My safe will keep most thieves out but an experienced theif with a crow bar could break into my safe in a couple of minutes. For the typical crack head smash and grab it's fine.


Safe Break In under 2 minutes


It Helps to have your safe bolted to the floor but how many people have a safe on hardwood and their wife would never let them bolt the safe to the floor?
