South West OK Vintage Browning safe(pending)

Well done. I was looking around with different word combinations in my search trying to find anything I could. Still a cold safe. But not good to keep valuables in

I was already assuming that “ProSteel” on the top of the safe meant it’s just a locking metal cabinet but I wanted to see if I could find something to confirm it.

The fact the interior was metal and not carpet was my hint that it wasn’t fire rated. Weird though that the door looks thick as it is. I’m guessing it’s a sturdier gauge steel than a stackon would be

Not all safes are fire rated. Older safes are still safes regardless of fire rating and drywall inside doesn't make it a safe. Almost all are fire rated now but you used to have to pay extra for a fire rated safe and you will still pay extra for longer burn times.

This box is still a safe and is still way, way better than any stackon or other metal cabinet could ever want to be; it's definitely not a fair comparison.

Oh I’m not arguing it’s not a safe. But for $700 I think you’d want to look for a used fire rated safe even if it’s smaller. Not just for guns but money, documents, etc

yeah, I wouldn't call it a metal cabinet or a stackon...but I agree, no fire rating would be a low offer. It would be a great barn/metal building safe where I'm not worried about a fire and if the wind blows the barn away, the safe will still be there.

That was a pretty good safe back when it was built. Probably made from at least 10ga steel, which today is considered pretty heavy duty. Most today are 11 or 12ga.

“prosteel” is the product line, but also the company that makes the safes for browning.

Any idea how much it weighs? It is a GUN safe, correct?

Could you give the dimensions, please. I'm interested and I live in Lawton.
