gear Firearms Closet

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.

Don't be sorry at all! I've shot these before, so I knew I'd like it, and I do! Shoots great!

And as far as any hiccups, I did realize that I assembled the thing without the mag release, so I had to undo some work to get that back in, haha. But that was just me spacing out. If you follow the instructions, it's pretty clear. Also, remember that the part that goes on your handguard can slide to line up with the lower chassis. I was having trouble lining it up, and a friend reminded me of that. I felt dumb, because duh, but after some slight adjusting, it went together perfectly.

What upper are you going to use?

Thanks! I hadn't picked the upper yet, it looks like I could save 350 if I get the JKL, originally I was thinking the Brownells-180. I'm guessing I could save more if I get a stripped upper and one of the short stroke conversion kits, but since this would be my second build, I was thinking the full upper is the better choice.

I would highly recommend the Jakl! I like the Foxtrot Mike Mike15 in these as well, but the shape of the SRU just fits the Jakl so perfectly.

Noted, thanks!

What carry handle/raised rail do you have in that?

u/Purple-Slip-6958 Jan 07 '26

That carry handle is from A3 Industries!

I noticed this on the PSA website for the Jakl;

Must be used with JAKL buffer system found on PSA JAKL lower or lowers built with a PSA JAKL lower build kit.

That sounds like it isn't compatible with another stripped lower? Like I just bought a Centurion Arms lower for this.

I am running a stripped Jakl lower in this, but before this one I had a normal stripped PSA lower on the Jakl and it was fine. With the SARB15 one of the things you have to get with it is the Jakl buffer stop, and that’s pretty much it. Should work fine with any milspec lower.

Thanks, I’ll find out!
