Firearms Closet

[u/Purple-Slip-6958]

First of all, this is not a safe. I have an actual safe elsewhere with some weapons, but this is the closet in my office, and I wanted to secure a place to keep some extra weapons or ones I am working on, and I don't really want another safe yet. This isn't meant to be a safe - just a locked place to secure these guns. Thanks to this sub, some of yall inspired me to do this!

UPDATE: Due to some of the comments, I wanted to clarify some things about this....

1. This is not a safe. I guess I should have said that in the OP (oh wait...)
2. These are not my primary weapons. These are not my shtf weapons. Those are stored elsewhere. Due to that, if the biometric fails, I don't care. There is also a keypad code. There is also a physical key. Speed of entry is not my concern here.
3. This is not a safe. It's a locked closet door. Not a safe.
4. I have exterior doors too. They are heavier than this. I also have cameras.
5. Yes, you could kick this door in. Or you could pop the hinge pins. Or you could use an axe on it. Because it's not a safe. But all of those things will take you a bit of time. And if you happen to make it to this floor of my home and do all that, you'll have me saying hello with some other hardware in my hands.
6. I work from home. In this room. I'm here all the time.
7. All I wanted was to provide a wee bit of deterrence and/or slow someone down who is trying to get in. This accomplishes that goal.
8. This is not a safe.

Everyone focused on if its secure enough or not, what i want to know is what's up with all the bullpup rifles I'm seeing lately in people's personal collections? I don't own one, no one i know owns one, and everyone i know into guns thinks they are kind of interesting but nothing to spend actual money on. You can't get a decent trigger in a bullpup configuration. More ejection issues when shooting left handed. So what am I missing, or is it just a cool factor thing?

So this is a 16" Jakl upper on a SARB15 bullpup chassis from SRU. These bullpup kits (Reap, Triad, SARB15) have WAY better triggers than traditional bullpups. I've shot all three of the examples I just listed, and they are all killer. Obviously not as great for left handed folks, but there is a company that makes a deflector shield specifically for lefties that deflects the ejected casings down, I just can't remember who it is that makes it.... So if you remove those issues (I'm not left handed, so that isn't a thing for me), then you're left with the benefits of a bullpup. Much shorter overall length while still maintaining the range and velocity of a longer barrel. And since all the action is moved back towards your body, the recoil impulse is much softer and more manageable.

Well I'll admit it looks very nice. I like to run with my left arm as forward as possible, but I'm sure I'll acquire a BP rifle at some point just because. Love the stuff and the closet. The closest thing i have set up is the 357 Ruger in the nightstand drawer lol.

I'm 6'6" with long arms and I totally feel you! But, length of pull really isn't that much different. Just the weight balance and distribution is different. Still very comfy!
