My Latest Purchase (or just pictures of your current guns)

I'm pretty sure I have that one. The rule of thumb I use is to divide the number of guns it says it can hold by half, and use that as a realistic number.
Apart from getting mold in the safe (minor basement flood) it has been great.
Damp-Rid your safe ROUTINELY.
Whatever you do, don't buy anything from Liberty... Now that it's common knowledge they'll give up your manufacturer's master code without a warrant, those safes are at risk.
Golden rods do a nice job, if your space isn't too humid to begin with. I also keep a dehumidifier in the room, so the outside air is maintained >45% RH.
Of course, flooding is going to be another problem entirely.

After about 20 years my cannon safe broke; when I opened it you could feel the door shift at the hinge. After two calls and a picture, they had a similar one sent to me from Tractor Supply (after I signed my name in blood saying I wouldn't use the old one!). I was impressed with their customer service...but yeah, that's a screaming deal on that winchester safe!
How did you install it - just drill a hole in the back of the safe and run the power cable through?
That's the preferred technique
My safe came with a pre-drilled hole for the cable.
You own cannon? Must be a big safe!
Massachusetts, in its infinite wisdom, recently enacted a deeply controversial firearms bill. I managed to get this LWRC direct impingement rifle in right before the new law took effect:
Haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, but it is very nice.

At least you got a normal AR. Here in NY state, semi-autos now require a special license (which effectively bans them for those who do not have non-family references) but for those semi-autos you CAN buy, you have to get an AR pretzel variant or "Franken-gun" version to be legal in terms of an AR-15. .
The back of my safe has a tiny (the size of a dime) hole towards the bottom of the exterior with a small plastic plug on it, but there's no way it's big enough to route a power cable through.
Do you drill from the outside in or the inside out? I suppose inside out is easier...

I'd consider splicing the cable before drilling the safe. Some power cables have removable plugs to go through factory holes. My Golden Rod came with a cord like that.
I thought about that idea, actually. I was hoping that my Golden Rod would have a DC-style barrel connector that I could just remove and replace, but alas it appears to be hardwired - but I'll take another look just to make sure.
I consider myself competent with a soldering iron, but I don't remember the last time I soldered something that used AC power...
