    Great question on the two states represented. I originally set up the account when I lived in Georgia, but moved to Nashville in 2018.  There was never an option to change/modify the account because it only shows my address on the account page as Tennessee. I do not see Georgia referenced anywhere in the account, other than history searching and inquiries for purchases.   Hope this helps. 

    Understandable - GB is not the best user experience or modern UI/UX design. GLWS!

  2. Gun Listed in GA

    Why is the exact same gun with the exact same profile, serial #, wording plus pictures listed in Georgia and TN at the same time? Is there some obscure C&R related rifle clause that I haven’t read? (Wouldn’t a FFL be required in that case?)
     

    No offense intended - Just don’t know why the same gun (same serial #) is listed in GA & TN at the same time. Feel free to correct me if I’m missing something.

    So you're not going to find a 1970 model vintage Browning BL 22 factory threaded ever

    If somebody had threaded it everybody would want it not threaded lmao

    It's easier to thread one than it is to fix one that's been threaded 😁

    I’ll thread one just for ya - glad ya sold it!

    Yes @Dawg1998, my wife and I started having this conversation last night after reading the thread above about such an approach...  in fact, it might actually allow me to have a smaller safe downstairs where a large one wouldn't go or wouldn't be allowed... 

    🙂

    “Mama management” is super important and completely undervalued in the safe industry. I still get a rash of negative remarks about our Browning Pro safe so out of sight out of mind isn’t just a decent layered security approach but also a win for “mama management!”😂

    Dang, back reading this topic again... I need a safe, don't want it in the garage due to heat/humidity

    No place to put it downstairs that 1. will fit, 2. the wife will accept so my only real option is upstairs

    Opinions on a 600lb safe upstairs... not the moving part, just that much weight on the second floor

    In my case, it could be loaded on or adjacent to an exterior wall which is load bearing so that is good

     

    Thanks, Rick

    Have you considered going with two separate 300lbs-ers? If I had it to do over again, I would go with three smaller matching safes or possibly modular units so I’m not committed to one box. We are taught to diversify finances and not have all our proverbial eggs in one basket right? Why doesn’t the same apply to securing guns and valuables? As long as you have a quality heating element in the safe, I wouldn’t worry about the heat and humidity even in the South. For long term preservation, a little barricade and wool storage socks will protect your firearms 100%….at least from heat and humidity. It doesn’t take much of a temperature delta to minimize your humidity concerns. It’s a legitimate concern for sure…I’ve had zero issues with humidity but I take a layered approach…heating element, barricade, wool preservation sock. 

  6. I made all the rookie mistakes…bought too small and too cheap to start…then bought too big and massive with my Browning….had a great buying experience with the safe house in nashville though…wonderful family owned business and would pay more to give my money to a locally owned shop. If I had to do it all over again, I’d take a much different approach.

    While I usually like more expensive stuff as I prioritize quality over anything else, the reality is unless you are going to get a commercial grade safe, a thief that wants our stuff will get it with the right tools and intel, a safe just slows em down as they say. Now fire protection could be a different story and I’ve heard conflicting reviews and dissenting opinions on fire protection. 
     

    If I had to do it all over again, I would have purchased several smaller safes that allow me to easily unbolt, move, etc. I have a massive safe expensive safe but it could only go in one place which is probably the best location for fire, the worst location for access & the least enjoyable location for yours truly…the garage! By going with 2-3 smaller safes, you get modularity, mobility and more location choices that aid your ability to conceal and have personal access to them…for cleaning, enjoying, etc. or if something goes bump in the night.

    Once my partners and I get out of the software industry, I’m very seriously considering a new line of products that unifies your access to a line of safes via digital, biometric or voice authentication and gives you the ability to scale up or scale down as your needs demand. This is one industry that needs real disruption! 

  7. Did you upgrade your NV rig to the latest and greatest?? I’d welcome trade options to take your gen 2+ PVS14 or last release thermal off your hands. I’d consider all price points and can add cash when needed. I’ve got plenty of gun, gear, ammo options and would pay cash for a great deal for the gear collecting dust! Mono, duals, scopes, clip ons, etc. will be considered. I’m not a fan of the sub $1K options because I will just upgrade it and have something else to liquidate! 😉 (helmets, mounts, lights, lasers, etc. are options as well) 

  8. You always have great taste, Legion. Garrett makes some of the best holsters in the industry and they pioneered leather + Kydex and flawless execution, width & weight. I own three of them for large, medium & small pistols. If you’ve never used one, you won’t be disappointed. To configure this holster would be a minimum of $150 and that doesn’t include shipping or tax. (Many vendors are charging TN sales tax even if they don’t have a store physically in the state.)  2 cents and worth as much!😆
