I understanding is that if it says 40 guns it means it really holds about 20.

There are systems that help. https://www.storemoreguns.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop6al8LpwkF9jUJsgLtnfBPjjtk57137JkNcldz7JcAKJkfGrNB

The side laying system is inefficient.

Some of my muzzle loaders are too long for the safe. Not much I can do about that.

What's the overall on a muzzle loader?

Depends.

Short of measuring the gun, my Kibler SMR has a barrel length of 44"

Safe got here yesterday and it's massive. Thankfully we didn't have far to move it.

We used a pallet jack, industrial skates and a portapower. Even at 930 pounds it was fairly easy with three people.

At what point does it become a vault?

It says it holds 50 guns which in reality means about 25. That gives me some room to grow.

I just bought my first gun since I was a teenager (and first handgun) recently.
