    I have to replace a bulb every 2-3 years.
    Yeah, I agree that's probably a better way to do it but in my case, that would literally mean that I'd need to a) sell a pistol or b) buy a new safe! It's literally like a game of freakin tetris in there at the moment...

    I guess the side effect is that it gets you a lit safe, too!

    I might do it once I finally get around to sorting out the E-cat...

    To be honest, I wish I'd put the safe in there... A couple of my guns had corrosion on the frames after my garage flooded...

    Edit: Actually, there a few companies that make driers for gun safes etc. but they're basically 40W heater elements...

    humpth, it feels humid to me.

    That's not good. Probably a leaking pressure regulator or something.

    Basically, it should be slightly warmer than everywhere else and everything should be sealed enough that it's completely dry... The joys of crappy rental housing, I guess?

    Either way, plenty of space for a couple of ammo cans with spare reloading components in there and a few bricks of various ammo types etc.

    You got your B without getting your E at the same time?? Why?


    tetris......ooo can we be friends lol.

    As soon as I find somewhere (not my Flat) to put a safe it will be the B,C and E.

    Not that crappy? Sounds like you're about to start growing mushrooms in your hot water cylinder cupboard...

    Got my B on it's own because I didn't want the hassle of the bigger safe. Now that I've got my own place I'll probably get it sorted out at some point soon. I've completely run out of space in the wall racks, too, so it'll probably be right around the time that I find a new toy to buy...

    The tetris situation isn't that impressive, it's a pretty small safe!

    Awwww don't dash my dreams.


    Everything feels muggy to me, I was made for hot and dry. Flatmate just looked and told me to put the cider down

    I have absolutely no inclination to shoot rifle so my safe is really only for my ammo and passport.

    Have you got your A yet? If not then you'll need to have some form of rifle storage at least. I guess depending on who the AO is out there, a sturdy chain around something might be enough...

    Speaking of cider I just finished a Rekorderlig Orangeand Ginger one... Really. Really. Weird.

    Of course I've got my A. *fluffs tail*

    Nah when he came he failed me the first time as the big safe was only bolted to the floor and he could wobble it. So I had to bolt it to the wall and so that he couldn't get his fingers around it.

    Oooooo I had the elderflower one last night, very nommy. For the price though my day-to-day is Isaac Pear.

    My apologies if the topic has been discussed in this thread already - I'm not going to wade through seven and a half thousand posts to find out.
    Yeah good point. There are thousands of posts on American forums about their gun laws and you'll never find one simple answer.

    Here's the thing: the constitution of the United States guarantees the right for citizens to carry arms. That is interpreted today 300 years later to mean a "man" can hold an M16 or a Mach 10 or a shottie and blast away at anything he thinks is a threat. And if it happens to be school children then he's made a mistake but the other 339 million people can carry on to fire at will.

    Well I think your somewhat valid point is masked by the emotive rhetoric used. Also, from my admittedly limited understanding of the situation, the 2nd amendment is not interpreted to mean he can "blast away at anything he thinks is a threat". There are plenty of laws surrounding what is acceptable use of force (no matter the means) in defense of ones person and property. I don't recall anywhere seeing people describe shooting school children as simply making a mistake...

    In this situation, a parent left a child alone with a dangerous item and it turned out for the worst. Anyone looking to blame this on the presence of the firearm is simply pushing their own agenda. The same thing happens far more often with kids left unsupervised around vehicles, tools, sharp objects and fire lighters.

    Surely we're beyond blaming the tool for how it is used? People don't suggest that matches are to blame for the hundreds of fatalities a year caused by unsupervised children starting fires.

    the one I have is 10 watt and set on a timer, Winter I have it running longer summer not so long, if its been humid and damp conditions full on

    Change 1 light bulb in the house to an energy saving bulb and the power is covered :P

    A bit of cost on power sure saves in time keeping rifles oiled

    Don't you just fekking love it when you discover another individual who is on the same wavelength as yourself guns-wise?

    Then, he says "this is xyz, and he's also a shooter". You sit down for a quick chat and flamin' ages have gone by!
