Anyone want any burnt guns from a house fire?
My safe did not save them, as the house was burnt to the ground

Sorry to hear about the house, that’s awful! Fires are exceptionally stressful and devastating because you’re left with literally nothing.  Is everyone OK, though?

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm always interested in projects. Let me know what you have to get rid of. Hopefully insurance helped

the guns are burnt bad some have no stock on them some have curved barrels all the scopes are melted, and this was a heavy duty browning safe.
About 75 guns where destroyed
Never trust a safe in a house fire

Never trust a safe in a house fire Oh my. They got HOT then. I have seen many come through a fire with just "dark" wood from heavy smoke. I have never seen one inside a safe that got that hot.

Are you willing to share what brand the safe was? I'm just questioning my choice.

Brand doesn’t matter. The fire rating on safes is done with a nice steady time temperature curve, that isn’t a house fire at all. Their whole fire rating thing a sales scam. If there is a fire in the other room and they put it out u maybe ok. If in the room with the safe doubtful.
A typical hose fire gets a fast temp spike when all the combustibles go up at once, typically when structure gives way.
Have a degree in Fire Protection Engineering, remember that from a class even though it was many moons ago.

Man I always hate to hear this. I am truly sorry for your loss.
We had a big fire come through our area a couple years back, and I learned that there is not a single regular fire safe on the market that will save guns in a fully involved house fire. Those get so incredibly hot that safes just don’t have a chance. Your best bet is scheduled insurance, unfortunately.

My safe did not save them, as the house was burnt to the ground That's terrible elkhunter1945. I hope all everyone is safe. Material things can be replaced. We had a house fire when I was 8 on a Saturday. Dad was working and Mom was grocery shopping. All us kids ran over to the neighbors. Still remember many details of that day. Anything you need?? I'm down state
