  I hope you have either stain resistant carpet or ceramic tile floors between your safe and the door!! Some Febreeze would probably be a good idea too... lol!

  I've got a 10 gun Stack-On and love it. The multiple one inch internal bolts are an impressive system. I got the digital lock and it works great. I just wish I would've bought a bigger one!

  Hi Top, the shelf life of shotgun shells is going to be determined by the environment you're storing them in and what you're storing them in. I've got 12 ga rounds that are several years old ... more »

  Hey tig:) I left a couple questions in the wrong forum. Here goes again. How long can I store shot shells? I've been told they go bad. Any truth to that? Also, I just bought an Romanian GP AK 7.62X39MM and an Ruger LCP 380. Any suggestions on good ammo for those two? Thanks.
