I am a bit overwhelmed, so sorry this is a going to be a little scrambled and not well thought out. Over the weekend, we moved my father in law into an assisted living facility. As we gathered up things he would need to take with him, we came across some crates of rifles. His memory isn't so good, but my wife was aware of firearms he had from previous family members passing down old firearms. We found many lists of estate items that were split up between family members and I have 4 crates and some lists that have many prewar items, such as some Enfields, Springfields Military and a DCM sporter along with a Rock Island..Remington pump 760 30-06, Crescent Arms 410 and possibly some Kraag 1898 from 1930. Once I get into the crates, I will know for sure, but the lists match up with the crate labeling and I was able to peek inside one. I thought I saw some M1 Garands. Anyhow, trucked this stuff home and in the process of unloading a bunch of stuff. What size safe should I be looking into to secure arms of this era? I am not familiar with the overall lengths of some of these old rifles. Also, I know these safes tend to overstate how many they can handle. Best estimate is ~20 rifles. Suggestions?
