Any answers would be appreciated.

Here are some pics of the safe, inside and out:

Heck ya you better screw it to the floor if you want it to be secure. Just be sure you use a drill with a hammer function. I tried to drill into my concrete floor with a normal drill and it was quite futile. With the hammer drill it went through the concrete like a hot knife through butter. Also make sure you get the holes placed right, one of mine was a little off and I couldn't quite get the concrete expanding screw in all the way.

We didn't bother bolting it to the floor, just put in quite a bit of ingots of lead under the carpet on the bottom of the safe. Glad we did, it was the only thing that didn't move an inch during the Northridge earthquake, plus it's always nice to know that no matter what insanity happens, still got enough lead to keep us casting for quite a while.

Cheap source of scrap lead can be arranged by talking to some of your local roofing companies. To many of them, that lead scrap is something to be disposed of, and if you're willing to pay something to haul it away, they'll typically be tickled pink.

Nice.

You may want to look into these bad boys - they basically wedge into place after you hammer them into a hole that you’ve drilled (that can be sporty too...may make sense to rent the drill). There is also an epoxy version. You wind up with thousands of pounds of force (even with just one), so you can really make it fun for the bad guys.

Sorry, forgot the link...

Just fill it with LOTS of guns and ammo. Put your gold and silver in there, too.

Wow I have no answer for your question (sorry), but I wanted to say nice collection, here in the people’s republic of California that sweet collection would be illegal:( I think it is?

My gun safe is the same size, weight and shape as yours. There was no need to bolt it to the floor since it took 6 men to move it in the first place.

I don't know about this model, but I have seen pictures of gun safes that have been opened can-opener style. The side was just peeled back. Not sure how they did it... and I probably wouldn't say here if I did.

Bolting to floor is a good idea. When the door is open safe could tip and fall on you. 700 lbs would leave a mark. Drilling in concrete is not that difficult with the right tool, which can be rented from your local HDepot. Depending on your finished floor surface.... if it is just concrete a rotary hammer drill with correct size bit and lead lag will suffice. if you have tile (porcelain you need a diamond core bit, ceramic can be drilled with masonry bit) a little bit of caution may be needed. If you have carpet covering your floor, be sure to remove carpet where you will drill first or you risk snagging the carpet. Bolt and be safe.

That’s not a CETME/G3 in the center, is it?

[Kirkwood]

Wow. You are seriously low on ammo.

Is the beer bottle part of your alarm system? lol

While 700-800 lbs sounds quite heavy, I routinely move 800 lb safes by myself.

6 hulking men are definitely not needed, just the right equipment. If I knew where yours was, I could get it out and into your garage in under 30 minutes. Two men can get it into one of those mini-pickups in less than a minute. If you go out for a few hours, it can be gone before you get back.

Bolting it to the floor is a very good first step.

I drill a 1 - 1/2" hole in the floor to a depth of about 6" (you can rent the drill for this) and set a standard bolt in the hole with expansion cement (big box home improvement store). One 5/8" or 3/4" bolt right smack in the middle is enough.
