    the value of these safes is what I'm looking to find out here.
    the big one(45 gun) probably weighs 1000 lbs while the smaller weighs
    around 600 lbs.I'd say.

    I have never heard of this safe company, but I wouldn't purchase any safe that isn't fireproof. All reputable gun safes are fire proof to one degree or another. There are some great safes being made by Canon, Ft.Knox, Browning, etc. If fire isn't a concern for you, and these safes you ran across are solid (heavy), and LOW priced, they may fit your need.
    *** I just realized you gave the weight of each. They are heavy enough.

    Overall size? Price? What they hold is overstated by every mfgr I have checked out. Perhaps they mean Daisy .17 pellet rifles! That aside, I never thought much of "fireproof". None are fireproof. If you have a chimmey only remaining fire, forget it. Yes, a fire that damages only part of the home and doesn't directly affect the gun room except for smoke and some heat - yeah, they are effective. Let us know how you do.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.
