The little one is getting more mobile every day, so I recently bought a couple of items to secure firearms yet leave them reasonably accessible. One was a GunVault pistol safe. The other was a Mossberg Lock-Box for my 870. http://www.mossberg.com/locbox.htm
My silly ass never even contemplated the fact that the side saddle makes the shotgun too wide for the Loc-Box. Just didn't dawn on me until I got the item. I'm going to claim overwork and exhaustion as an excuse for this giant brain fart.
Thought for a second I might be able to grind off part of the door, but that won't work either. I'd have to grind too far into the welded locking mechanism.
So, after some lost shipping fees and the hassle of a return, I'll be back to square one. Anybody need a Loc-Box at a good price? More importantly, any good ideas for securing an HD shotgun for ready access?
