Instead of dropping $70 on these, you can throw some together in an hour for just a few bucks.

Yep, only way my STG556 will stand up in the safe is by using something like this.

Very creative! Is that velcro?

protegeV · Mar 3, 2015

That's a cool idea. Much better than the empty cardboard box I have a few short rifle sitting on top of :lol2:

Yes, velcro.

That's an AUG hanging out on the right side of the safe.

I only see one obvious problem.....

Yingpin · Mar 3, 2015

Agreed, great solution but it creates a problem as mentioned above. You have to buy more guns to fill the new space. :sad20:

Looks nice, (except for the Garand sling through the wrong swivel

)
Good idea.

And this is a problem exactly why?

I thought I was helping you guys out so you could...

make more investments in hardware and keep them safe.

Yea, that's it. Investing!

Very creative! Thank you!

I have the plastic rifle rods in 2 of my safes.
If your barrel is small but gets close to the top shelf, the rifle rods have a bulge they jam up on. I made some dowel and blocks just like you show there. I got some sheet material just like what came with the rifle rods to put at the top.
I found that I needed a full sheet across the top in order to be flexible with scopes and such because the spacing is not always the same between guns.

Now go and fill that safe up!

Pretty sweet idea. I'm actually contemplating a pull out of some sort or a revolving type deal. Hate pulling from front to get in back. Is that a liberty safe?

roady · Mar 3, 2015

Good ideal. I have the plastic rods but they do get flimsy on the small 22 caliber rifles that are shorter and I have been trying to come up with something for them. This may work but it would have to be a pretty small dowel to fit in the bore.

ericoak · Mar 3, 2015

Are the rods going into the barrel? I think a second velcro strap looked around the barel and rod better?

Nope, it's a Winchester Tractor Supply Turkey Day Special.

I had to turn down a .25" dowel a bit to fit in the .22

Yes they go into the barrels.
They are stable enough to satisfy me.
It'd have to be a high richter number to shake 'em loose.

But in that situation a few leaning guns would be very low on my problem scale.
