If there are GUN SHOWS were you live, sometime you can find DEAL THERE. Also Classified ADS in New Papers have USED GUN SAFES CHEAP!
 
Hey cowboy long time no speak. How is the boys club doing? Have you been there lately do they still have the sneakie I donated. Let me know if they need a new sneaky or I would pay for some house cues.

No gun shows around these parts in Manhattan!
 
AMSEC is the way to go if you want a safe that will still be standing when the rest of your house isn't. A safe is kinda like a cue.....You get what you pay for. I personally find it funny by how many people like safes with a digital keypad on the front of it. Sounds like a person who puts $30K worth of cues into a $1K safe, LMAO...........Not a good idea............Buy a safe that is a B-Rated safe, and all of your future problems will be non existent.
 
Let me say up front that I use a gun safe also, with a pretty good heat rating. But, something I have always wondered is would the cues be useable after xx hours in 1,000+ degree heat? I'm thinking that would break down many parts of the cues and ruin them.

While the heat/fire rating was a factor, it wasn't the main one for me. I wanted the size to hold everything and the weight, gauge of steel and door locking mechanism that would prevent or deter theft. Security over fire priority was my thinking.

Great questions, my motivation initially was security and appreciate the fire angle. But would definitely like to hear more about any issues with cues stored in a safe with no climate control.

Thanks,

The amsec is a great product but I get the feeling from your post that you are knocking the liberty.

From their websight I came up with AMSEC fire rating of 1275 degrees for 90 min while the liberty Presidential goes 2.5 HOURS at 1200 degrees

Please explain in greater detail why you think the AMSEC is the better safe.
