Home Fireproof Rifle
Would a 200 year old AR-15 rifle still shoot?
Let's say that I walked into a store and I purchased a brand new Colt AR-15 rifle. I went to my home and I placed it into a bulletproof, fireproof, rustproof time capsule where no water, moisture, or the elements would affect it. And I left it there for my descendants to keep it, and 200 years later one of my great great great grandchildren found it and opened it. And he pulled out my AR-15 and put some .223/5.56 mm ammo into it, would it still shoot and would it be safe?
Hey George, where ya been?
Yes, if that 200 year old rifle has been kept dry and sealed, it would function as well as the day it was made. What makes me say that?
I have a good example. A few years ago, a company called IMA, or International Military Antiques bought an armory full of 18th and 19th Century guns from Nepal. This collection included British military rifles dating back over 150 years. These rifles had not even been taken that good a care of when stored there. While many had degraded into junk, many more were still in NRA fair to good condition.
Although for liability reasons being as they were so old, IMA asked that buyers not attempt to shoot them. But you can't keep a good gun down. Even though these rifles received little or no preparation for long-term storage, many of the rifles, particularly the Martini and Snider rifles, were found by buyers to be in fully functioning condition, and the buyers proceeded to fire them using new ammo manufactured to period loading specs with black powder as was used in that time period. They proved to still safely function after 150 years or more. These rifles were not made to modern metalurgical standards like an AR-15. They were old-school carbon steel and wood.
Contrary to what a previous answerer claimed, the composite parts would only suffer degradation in the presence of sunlight. A modern, new rifle properly prepared and stored would emerge from storage as a still-new rifle, perfectly capable of functioning like the day it rolled off the Assembly line.

| | Fireproof (DVD) $13.84 FIREPROOF, from the same team that made the 2006 hit FACING THE GIANTS, is a Christian relationship drama with a very strong message. The film stars Kirk Cameron of the classic television series GROWING PAINS as Captain Caleb Holt, a fireman whose fearlessness is limited to his work. At home with his wife of seven years, Caleb shows little of the bravery he displays on the job, and has a failing marriage as a result. Fighting over every little thing, Caleb and his wife, Catherine (Erin Bethea), are on the verge of signing divorce papers when Caleb`s father and coworkers urge him to approach his marriage in the same way he fights vicious flames. When Caleb`s father gives him the "Love Dare," a 40-day guide to religiously motivated marriage help, Caleb begins a difficult journey to reclaim his wife, and in the process, his faith in God. With several action-packed scenes, FIREPROOF uses fire metaphors in its exploration of marriage. The film offers an alternative to the common romantic comedy and, some might argue, a more multidimensional view of romance. The film examines both the ups and inevitable downs of married life, offering faith as a prescription for saving what may at first glance appear to have already failed. Likely to please its target audience, the film offers a fresh perspective on marriage and inspiring relationship tips viewers may want to try regardless of their faith. |

Selecting a Handgun Safe - What You Need To Know
A handgun safe is designed to protect and secure your firearms. In fact, it has become a standard law in many states that if you are a registered gun owner, you are required to keep the guns in your home stored safely. These laws have been established to help protect children and teenagers as well as other people that should not have access to the firearm. Handgun safes provide a level of safety from misuse and can keep it secure, in the event of a fire or other natural disaster.
A handgun safe is usually made of metal and has some sort of locking mechanism such as a key, combination, or digital PIN code. Many different types of locking mechanisms are available on gun safes, so be sure to choose one that meets your needs. If the gun is used for home security, a digital lock might provide quicker access to the gun than looking for a key in the middle of the night. It's always a good idea, if you choose a handgun safe with a key lock, to store the key separately away from the unit to restrict easy access by unauthorized units. Also, many handgun safes are available with bolts along the hinged side of the door that bolt shut when locked. This prevents tampering by making it difficult to force entry into the safe. Lastly, it is usually a wise recommendation to store ammunition separately from the firearm for added safety and protection.
When shopping for a handgun safe at sites like iShopit.com, you will most often find many models that offer some sort of fire protection. Look for safes that have a UL rating on them. These fireproof units are tested and rated by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and are given UL ratings to rate the level of fire protection that a specific model provides.
If you keep a firearm in your home for safety and protection, a standard handgun safe will do the trick. If you are a gun collector or have antique models, you might want to consider the investment in a safe that has a UL rating to help provide maximum protection against fire and water damage. Or, if you want to protect your firearms, yet display them, shop for a handgun safe that has a clear tempered glass allowing you to display them while keeping them secured.
Handgun safes come in various sizes and can also hold longer guns and rifles. When selecting a handgun safe or other security safe, go with a trusted manufacturer like Sentry safe. For more information, check out iShopit.com's full line of security safes.
