Ok, so i got my C&R license a while back and ive noticed that my 30 gun safe may just be insufficient for 45 or so guns and the valuable matching accessories. so i was wondering how everyone stores their guns with the accessories that go with them. I mean, i was keeping the pistols in their boxes with the accessories that go with them, (original holsters, extra mags, cleaning rods, tool kits, oilers etc) but, i decided against that given much research has deemed guns in cardboard boxes a bad idea. even with plenty of desiccant in the safe. plus, this way they take up alot of space. i had the idea of putting all of the pistols all nice and lined up on a pistol rack and rifles on a rotating rack on the bottom of the safe and keeping the accessories in a separate cabinet. but i dont quite like the inconvenience when showing my collection to other collectors (ie: ya so heres my all matching original "xxx" and, i do have the original motorcycle scabbard and bayonet and cleaning kit that go with it but i cant find it right now, i think its under those holsters and slings somewhere.") anyways, how do you all store your collections? it would be nice to keep everything together, and possibly on display in a secure bunkerish room, but thats not in the cards yet for me. anyones input is always appreciated. and if you got pictures of your collections, im sure everyone and have the appreciation for that here.
