Posting a safe pic. This place needs some content. I like games, cars, computers and guns. Lemmy has enough of the former to keep me engaged, but the gun side is really lacking.
Wow, nice safe!

Yeh I’ve just been posting saved Gunporn Reddit posts tbf will probably post more
Nothing wrong with that for now with such a small community. I plan to post more of my stuff. But will try to spread it out a few a week.
That's a lot of AR format rifles. I'm more impressed by how efficiently you fit all of them into your safe.
Edit: did you file the Form 1 for the SBRs? How long did it take for them to process it? I've been waiting since March and it's still pending with no updates.
There's 3 "AR-15s". 10.3" 5.56 SBR, 10" 300blk SBR and a 13.9(with pin/weld so technically 16.1") 5.56
There are 2 "AR-10s". The long 20" one with the can on it on the left in 308. A 12" 8.blk SBR that's hard to see.
What can I say.. it's a fun and versatile platform, it's like adult Legos. I built all of them from parts. The only work I had someone else do was the pin/weld and the FSB on the 13.9" one.
There's a century arms ap5-p(mp5) SBR hiding in there as well. All eform 1s.
Other inventory in there is a Zastava AK (m70 I think), Henry Model X 45-70, A pellet rifle. My buddy's 16" AR10 and Bergara B14 HMR 308.
Edit. As for form 1 processing time they ranged from like around a month for the shortest to a bit over 90 days for the longest... So all over place. The wait sucks for sure. After the first few it gets easier (especially for cans). I want to say my longest form 1 was like 103 days or something like that. You gotta be almost there!
And thanks! It's definitely at max capacity... I could probably stuff more in if I tried... But it would be a huge PITA to do.
Thanks for the information! I'm going to need to file again because I'd like to get a suppressor for my Remington 700 308. It has a threaded barrel and it is incredibly loud, so why not? Right?
How do you like that Zastava? I looked high and low for a Zastava M70 with the Mauser 98 action, because they're probably the most affordable Mauser out there, but I had no luck and ended up with the Remington. I'm still keeping my eyes open for one if they pop up.
Nice. I see you have both but do you prefer lpvo over reddot/magnifier?
I didn't really like the LPVO on my shorty ARs. Have a 510c green dot magnifier on my 10.3" 556 AR. And just a Romeo 5 dot on my 10" 300blk AR SBR and am happy with those.
I threw the LPVO on the Henry X since it was just sitting in the closet when I got the rifle, thinking it would be temporary, I actually like it on there. The small eye box is ok because it's not a gun for close follow up shots. It's a 45-70, so it's more of a hold on tight and I usually take 15-20 seconds between shots. Or else my shoulders gonna get real mad at me!
I've been always 100% against of storing ammo in a gun safe. Ammo cans, it can cook off w/o safely turning the into a big bomb. Even at low numbers like this w/y add an accelerate into a (I assume) fire resistant safe?
Also loaded mags are a strain on the springs and feed lips (really bad for PMags, which I have replaced w/ Lancers)
