hey all going through fire arms licence and looking for cheap gun safe if any1 got one for sale?

iv herd of people making them out of wood is this legal?

legal requirements state it must be under lock and key.

you can lock them in a wooden box as long as its internally hinged and has a padlock...

or you can get the real deal gun safes from hunting fishing/gun city/outdoors supplies (my favourite) 5 gun safe with internal seperate bolt lock box for bugger all

I just did my lisence recently and they frowned upon anything that wasn't a proper safe or gun lock. Best to go something sturdy than the bare minimum i reckon.

You can use a gun rack if you are looking to do it cheaply.
You can get them off trademe and/or Gun City (usually about $40-50 i think). The disadvantage is they only hold a few firearms.
They are not as good as safes but are enough to get your firearms licence. Don't put it in a muppet place otherwise they will not accept it ie the living room wall. The best place is usually a garage or wardrobe.

I just got mine, and had a push bike cable and padlock in the roof round the frame work and ammo locked in a tool box and bolts in another tool box , very simple, and cheap.and the chap was happy with that, have got a cabinet coming from a mates work, old lockers are ok to i believe

pressy

I can get the safeguard G-16M for around 600 bucks

So many to chose from !

I just use an old locker can pick these up for a few beer tokens.

Or just whack some MDF together, my mate did that and was fine.

If in doubt ring your arms officer, generally good buggers I have found.

fire arms officer rang 6am this morning!!! talked to him about knocking one together with mdf as got heaps lying around he said its fine as long as secure and internal hinged

bare in mind tha you can bust into that stuff piece of piss, onee good kick and your in. so hide the fcuk out of it somewhere that no one would ever find if your pad was being burgled.

For half the price of a cheap gun you got pretty much burgular prrof security.

I dont give a rats arse if YOU lose your guns, anybody silly enuff to lock em up in an MDF box doesn't deserve to have the rights to own one.

The only issue I have with you losing your gun(s) to a burg, is it puts another one into the hands of the crooks.

There they stay, for all the legislation in the world does not remove ONE from their hands.

how safe were the ones YOU lost to the burgs mate? did it matter that THEY were in a lock up??

mine were in a lock up and they got them ok... didnt get the bolts or ammo tho cos they were HIDDEN!
mdf box has about the same chance or better if you HIDE it real good.

anywho, a good safe is better, but a well made mdf box would be better than some of the cheap gun safes.

If they cant find where everythings concealed it dosent really matter what the box is made of

Having lost 15 to the bad bastids gives me a certain authority to comment. And NO, they was just stacked in the wardrobe, like silly dick, cos I didnt THEN know any better. The setup I had in Wangavegas was the best, cos it had the added security of being totally invisble as well as being bolted to the wall.

What we are on about, is to take EVERY precaution possible. an MDF box is hardly that.

I could happily "hide" that 44 of yours here for a while Bob

considering its behind a locked sliding bookcase wardrobe (if that makes sense ) should be pretty safe.

well thanks all for your advise going to pop into gun city tomo see what they have.
