Gun Storage Chest

[focodude]

I saw the movie "John Wick" the other night. In one scene, he unearths a chest containing guns that was hidden under his basement floor. I like the modular drawers with cutout foam for holding the guns. Has anyone bought or made something like this?

Too much moisture. Water would seep up and in. Then it's rust city. That foam will absorb and hold moisture.

All of my handguns are are stored in foam cutouts, except I don't use a wooden chest, I use a Craftsman tool chest.

There are actually 2 types of "foam".

One is "open cell" & is literally a sponge. That would be the more common (& cheaper) type but its utterly useless for this because it is a sponge.

The other is "closed cell" Its more expensive & "firmer", but it would not hold or wick liquid like open cell will.

The exterior "case shell" would need to be both waterproof & non permeable as well, so anything like wood is out.
