Thread: E-Cat gun safe

im in the market for one in the near future. so that is two, as allways if the price is right

Ha. I might aswell get one for peice of mind.

What size do most want?
I'll make contact with my man

Ginga wants one and I may be keen if the price was good. 6 scoped rifles?

Spoke to arms officer. They measure and want a engineering certificate also. Dam got ripped. Gna see if hel take it back. Hope so.

Waiting for my guys to get back to me with pricing and details

Safe inn question is 1500x360x670, 6mm steel, 195kg, digital lock with large opening handle, multiple large locking bolts, lockable top ammo section inside, capacity is listed as 11 guns

Engineering cert provided? Sounds great.

Not sure - they are made by a safe company overseas not a local engineer

I made my own also E Cat safe to hold 12+ rifles.

Firearms inspector took a look but didn't measure the thickness..... Mind you I have welded 12mm walls/door to a 25mm top and base.

Weighs in at a tad under 400kg

He also asked if it was certified by an engineer.... I just pointed to my Trade Cert hanging on the wall and showed him my 4711 ticket.

Good enough was the reply, all signed off.

Total cost was $120 for the Locks.

I'd bee keen on another 10 gun safe if the price was right.

I'd bring a bunch in if there was a call, however storing and moving 10x 200+kg safes isnt the easiest thing to do

what size and how much Spanners, was looking at building a new one yours maybe the cheaper option.

Haha want to do a. Cashy then mate?

do they ask for a cert now when i built mine i just showed arms officer the plans he said sweet never asked if i had 4711 or anything. maybe as long as the welds dont look like bird shit then maybe it is fine, or maybe it differs from arms officer. has anyone here had an issue building there own safe?

FletchNZ got his E endorsement with one of those $500 Trademe safes. In Tauranga of all places. Not sure if it is the same safe you guys are talking about.
