How many, and how
 

How many guns do you have, and how do you store them? Gun safe, wooden display case, closet...........

too (many)
store them clean

;)

just an hand full, less then I want, clean and oiled

I am looking for what you store them in. Do you just stand them in the closet, or do you have a gun safe, hang them on the wall.......

I have a entire 12 foot wall that is a run rack. They are stacked kind of close I know, but that is how I store them. I wipe them down every few weeks, and check the bores every three months whether I shoot them or not. I also have a couple of gun cabinets full also. And now I am leaning them in corners, so I am done buying more rifles.

I have about 16 or so total. Centerfire, Rimfire, Pistol, Shotguns, and Muzzleloader. All are clean and wiped downed. Barrel isn't oiled inside, due to dry climate. Most are all in a safe that is bolted to the floor. There is no way in heck anyone is getting in. A few are around the house for defense. Also in the safe I have a dehumidifier, not that I need one, but I suppose it doesn't hurt.

I clean them up good and store in the zippered gun cases with the muzzle pointed down in the closet. The pointed down trick is so that no oil stays in the breech area during storage. Never had any problems with moisture or rust.

I have several from .22 to 30-06, shotguns and blackpowder rifles. All are oiled and stored in the hard plastic cases with foam padding. I have stored them that way for many years and never had a rust problem. But I oil them pretty good before putting them away. I really should get a safe.

I have some in a wood display cabinet and some up in the closet. Living in KS I worry about rust and humidity. I go heavy on the oil and make sure I don't touch any metal as I put them away.

I check them every few months and reapply oil as needed.

As my inventory builds I should look into a safe. They're the most valuable things I own should I ever be robbed.

I doubt it! :lolabove:

An excellant gun cabinet in my opinion is a Stack On metal gun cabinet. It's inexpensive and can be bolted to the floor and or wall. They come in different sizes for the number of guns you may need to store in them. The only issue to be concerned with is not just theft. If you have children in the house you are liable if they get into your guns and something happens. So a glass and wood cabinet is good looking but not secure.

a few, cleaned oiled and stored in my cannon, christmas present to myself, safe. Bolted to floor. Not the thickest on the market but enough to stop smash and grab

'"so I am done buying more rifles." Dave Have I ever heard that before I don't think we will ever quit always something better or a good price

For a second, I thought this was a picture you took at Cabelas!

A big thanks to Cayugad. I thought I had a bit of an addiction. I now realize that it is not so bad.

Almost enough, i just need one more to make my collection complete. The ones i shoot monthly are here and the ones that get less shooting time i keep well oiled in a climate controlled safe at another location. SHTF items are stored away where no one else will ever find them. :D

I think my sig lists them. :D

Hey Cayugad, I believe I see an empty space there which would fit around a new TC Impact that I know you like.

i think there are alot of people that use the "Cayuga excuse"
i will proudly count myself amongst them

I have only a dozen or so muzzleloaders (plus a half dozen cartridge rifles/shotguns), most of which are stored in the closet of my man cave.

I do fear many of us have been infected with Cayugad Syndrome, a virulent condition that is believed to have originated in a snowy Northern location, but has adapted so as to be transmitted to all climates via the Internet.

I went out and bought a safe and a golden rod to fit inside it many years ago when there started to be a lot of break ins in the surounding area many years ago. It holds 30 long guns and I'm ashamesd to admit between mine and the 4 the wife owns there are a few less expencive ones proped in corners with some of the most expencive of them (I use a lot) not in the safe stuffed up in the ceiling in a place I made special for storing guns.
All my guns get fondled at least every 6 months even if they do not require it.
I got rid of that nice looking wood cabnit with so much storage and glad I did. Fellow I sold it to worked with me, his guns got taken with a bunch of other stuff when his house got broken into. He didn't have recorded seirel numbers or pictures of same so was not able to just recover them from the Pawn shop he found them in a few weeks latter.

Go with the safe and be safe record the serial numbers and take pictures taking the time to point out identifying marks like a scratch or blueing wear.

:D Al

I have about 25 rifles, ML's and shotguns. Have 2 gun racks which holds 8 of them and the rest are scattered in corners, closets and where ever I can find a place to put them. I really need to invest in a safe.

We have two homak 8gun metal cabnets plus a big fire safe full.. Have 5 or 6 guns in corners 3 on a gunrack and 2 pistouls in drawers I need another safe lol both my mls are under the bed I clean all my guns every 3 months with the exception of
my carry guns I clean them every month

Enough, and Im Not gonna tell you or where they are.:lmao:
