I was shopping for a gun safe today. Ran into a gentleman who stated his father may still have a few surplus military weapons lockers. He said they're quite plain but are gen-u-wine steel plate and much more resistant to forced entry than the $1000 RSC's with pretty paint. No fire protection at all - but that's what I have insurance for. I'm more worried about theft.
I told him the dimensions and storage capacity I'm looking for. I'm probably botching the numbers because I also looked at a bunch of gun safes at several stores, but I think he said it'd weigh 300-400#. If this fellow calls me and I go check these puppies out, anything I should know? I am assuming they were DRMOed or something.
If anyone could give me tell tale signs that they are "the real deal" or signs that I should run and not look back, I'd appreciate it. Google isn't turning much up but politics, news articles, blog entries and RPG stuff. The only military weapons locker I've ever seen is the armory at Ft. Eustis, which is really just a very secure room with lots of guns in racks. I asked if it had a combination lock and he replied in the affirmative... A photo or good description of what these are, if anyone knows, would be awesome. I'll be sure to follow up if I get more info.
