Had to go through a re-alignment of my lower leg called a High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO). They had to open up my tibia by 12mm and slightly correct the twist after an injury.
I was under anesthesia of course, but once I woke up I was in more pain than I've ever been in, before or since.

Same here, but mine was in the Old Town Square of Poznan. Beautiful place

I'm a huge advocate for multiple safes vs one huge one and pleased to see that someone else got to that topic already.


Would multiple 24 gun safes be better? Or smaller capacity safes?

No joke, the wasted space in most them is infuriating. I'm to the point I think I'm going to just build out a room, not exactly sure what material I will be using but tired of leaving guns out during this time of year because of the pita it is to fit them in the safe only to take them out in four days.



When we build our house I'm doing this. I plan on having a reinforced room with a vault door. But that's years away so for now I just want something for the guns I have.

In reality, a 26 gun safe is more like a 13 gun safe


That's why I'm looking at the 26 gun safe. They even indicate the average would be 16-18 guns.


I hadn't looked at the Canons, just completely skipped over those for some reason.

First Gun Safe

Posted by EnragedPlatypus on 12/16/25 at 8:31 am
Hello all

I need to finally pull the trigger on a gun safe, I don't have a massive amount of guns, but I've decided to go with a 26 gun safe. I'd like to keep the budget at $1500, but I want the best options for that price.
Tractor Supply has a Remington 26 gun safe for $1199
I also saw a Steelwater Heavy Duty 26, slightly more than I wanted to spend for $1700 on GovX. Normal price is about $3500.

Is the Steelwater that much better to account for that price difference?

Also, I'm open to recs from the OB.

Any of these would be great cans. another very good can for much cheaper is the Otter Creek


I'll have to look at them. I didn't look at any Otter Creek.
Thank you.

Suppressor Question

Posted by EnragedPlatypus on 11/14/25 at 1:44 pm
I've never bought a suppressor before, but previously I was on here asking about the gun trust.
I'm asking the board for advice again. Looking for a suppressor for my .308. Bergara B14, so it does not need to be full auto rated

Based off of the googles, I've narrowed down to 3 suppressors
TBAC Ultra 9
CGS Hyperion
PTR Vent 1

For those that have used any or all of them, is there a clear leader? How do these hold up compared to a DeadAir? That's another I was pushed toward.
I'll be both target shooting and hunting.

Also, any other recs on the choice?

LA Gun Trust

This is who I used years ago. Its more expensive, but it was painless. Just another option.


Is there a benefit of going with the local over the online national gun trust?

How is LA Gun Trust different from National Gun Trust?

My next will probably be a Montana knife company.



I have a couple from MKC, the Stonewall Skinner and the Stoned Goat 2.0

The knife is fantastic. I will probably be getting the Freezeout next, just something smaller.

I'd definitely recommend the knives from MKC

My FFL suggested National Gun Trusts. It's the one he uses and the process was easy. Their customer service was also prompt when I had a few questions


This is the one I keep seeing online when I was doing some research. I just didn't know if it was smarter to go to a lawyer or through these groups.

Seems to be a good resource, I'll check these out more in depth.

Thank you.

NFA Trust

Originally posted on the OT, suggested I post this here

Does anyone know a good source to create an NFA Trust? I know they have several online but are they reputable? Or is it smarter to speak to a lawyer who does these?

Thank you
