This article is interesting. Reading through things my question was who actually makes Winchester Gun Safes? The writer here should run for office.
"Who Makes Winchester Gun Safes?
Winchester safes is the name associated with security protection since 1886. Many things have been changed since then but commitment and quality remain the same. They manufacture a wide range of guns.
According to Winchester won and west and now their goal is to protect what they have one. Manufacturing guns from 150 years of experience in firearms, these safe are even best available today. This is because of all their gun safes burglar proof and tested.
The gun safes are fire proof up to 1200 degrees, but many Winchester safes are fireproof in temperature up to 1400 degrees. The company provides various benefits to the buyers like replacement of the safe, free curbside delivery, and free locksmith service to unlock the safe.
You can replace the safe if it is damaged by a burglar or destroyed by fire. You can enjoy two-year warranty on the lock of the safe. And a limited lifetime warranty on the safe is also available.
Winchester manufacture gun safe which is known for producing high-end gun safes. It has a wide range of the safes available in different sizes. Let’s know the benefits of the Winchester Gun safes"
No shortage of words but the original question seems unanswered? Much like Sears Roebuck never made a rifle or shotgun they marketed and sold tens of thousands with their names on them. All made under contract and labeled with the Winchester name and logo.
Guns and anything else of importance do not begin to corrode and rust in a well maintained safe, unless they are exposed to something lethal when enclosed I have never known of guns to be suicidal. My guess runs with many who seem to feel something in there, likely toxic dry wall which began out-gassing
Reading this story is also of some interest. Drywall can and will out gas sulpher gas which will corrode just about anything metalic, like guns for example. Think about the confines of a gun safe. If suplher gas is being released in a confined space where a large concentration of the gas cannot dissipate.
A court battle can be long and expensive and we can figure Winchester knows that, You may want to read all of that tiny print on the buyer agreement as to what is or is not covered. They likely have a liability clause for the container but likely nothing on content. You may want to find others who have experienced your nightmare and maybe room for a class action suit using attorneys who specialize in this type of corporate law.
Obviously your guns were not suicidal.
