a crying shame

I got a rider on my renters insurance, raised it by about $5 a month. Sorry to hear of your loss, and I can't agree loud enough - if the wood was burned off or charred inside the safe, render them non firing and have them mounted on a plaque.
 
If nothing is warped you may be able to replace the cyliders in the Colts and be OK if the guns have not got really and I mean really hot, Frames and barrels really have no major heat treatments to them out of being soft vs hard. The issue is the metal being burned or to brittle.
 
No disrespect, Gyvel, but I would take a pass on anyone who claims to be able to do that kind of thing.

No problem there. I'd only heard about the guy, and I think it was initially in regards to re-heat treating Norinco M-14 receivers or some such.
 
The humidity, acid and smoke are very corrosive and goes EVERYWHERE in a fire. Drawers, guncases, closets-at least it did on our home. Too late for the original poster but should this happen to you-get the guns out and into the shower. Wash em and then oil-RIG.

The fire dept wont like it but... The insurance co should not mind as you will be saving them money. This applies to those not burned to any extent and are in some other room/area from the fire.
 
Hey guys, you all have me thinking about my own safe now. I don't want to get side tracked with another topic, but all the talk about losing guns have me thinking. I have a Cannon Safe that is rated for 1200F for 40mins. From the sound of what happened to smithwk, I wonder if there is something I need to do to my safe. I have a lot of family guns that have been passed down from my grandfather and dad. I don't know what I would do if something happened to them. Any suggestions? Thanks.
