Rifle safe without ammo storage, under 1.4m high

Post by gingernuts » 08 Feb 2024, 7:01 pm

Hello all,

I have a location in mind for my safe which has a 1.4m height limitation.

Most of the safes I've seen, all feature integrated ammunition storage which adds to the height of the safe, with most at the 1.5m mark.

Does anyone know of a shorter five rifle safe that doesn't have integrated ammunition storage?

Thank you.

It's possible somebody does a safe without a bolt box on top, but I'm not aware of one. You could cut it off though and reweld the lid on. You'll also have to cut the transfer bars inside the door.

Buy a Spika S2 (8 gun) which has an external ammo box on top and simply cut 100mm off the top of it, the rifle compartment will be untouched.

Thank you for the suggestions. I don't have the tools or confidence to cut the top off a safe unfortunately. I ended up finding a different location that could accommodate a full height safe and be securely attached. I ended up with 7x Scorpion Digital from Antler Adventure which just managed to fit.
