Post by: 7rustno1 on November 28, 2015, 06:52:58 AM: Other/bigger safe, jigsaw puzzle/barrel down rifles as well, I even screwed hooks into the bottom of a top shelf to hang some rifles with short bungees to fully tetris unused space in the upper middle section. 8)

I also use riffle socks and fashioned muzzle bumpers with packing wrap and DT, JIC.

FAILING this, you can stack them muzzle up/muzzle down, to make them fit better. That's what I've done.

Post by: LBDamned on April 19, 2024, 09:55:51 PM: Take out all rifle rests (it wastes space)... use rifle rods (look it up)... put back row grip forward and front row grip away (between each back row rifle)...

I have ___ long guns in one safe and ___ or so in another (smaller)... with room to put shotgun in each (they stay out of safe when I'm home) ... decided to omit the numbers (but it's more than plenty)

Don't use any organizer that came with safe... you should have one big open space... or two open spaces with one vertical divider (if you have a wide safe) ... I have one of each.

Post by: LBDamned on April 20, 2024, 05:34:33 PM: Racks waste space... you can fit way more guns without any kind of rack, by using rifle rods instead.

Post by: Bar-Ang on April 20, 2024, 07:07:53 PM: that's a pretty good solution for a tightly packed safe. nice!
