GSA approved Class 5 weapons containers are authorized for storage of small amounts of Risk Category II, III, and IV Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E).
They are manufactured in accordance with Federal Specification
AA-C-2859.
There is also a Class 5-W drawer-type weapons container approved and labeled specifically for weapons storage in accordance with Federal Specification
AA-F-358K.
GSA approved weapons containers are not approved for storage of classified information.
All new GSA approved weapons containers must use an
FF-L-2937 mechanical lock for the storage of AA&E.
Existing GSA approved weapons containers may continue to use an
UL 768,
Group 1 mechanical combination lock for the storage of AA&E.
If the existing UL 768, Group 1 lock fails, or requires replacement, it must be replaced with a lock meeting FF-L-2937.
These containers are available with either a pullout rifle cart, with a capacity of 32 rifles, or weapon drawers having dividers for storage of up to 360 weapons.
There are also different configurations available for a combination of rifles and handguns.
