Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The great gun safe reorganization of 2015

Afraid I won't be much help. I will however take you out to dinner if you ever get back this direction. Scrubby' is now an Asian food joint, but sure we can find something of an agreeable menu!

Clearly Pugs needs a Sharps...

I don’t recall if it was Patrick McManus, Ed Zern or perhaps Gene Hill that warned us about what happens if you leave guns in a dark safe. They multiply at an alarming rate!



Frankly, I blame the campfire. 15 years ago I was perfectly happy shooting stuff with a Win M70 .243 my dad had given me! You people are a bad influence (in the best possible way)



The Fort Knox I have I bought more than 25 years ago and I think it was a 12 gun safe. Over time I took the shelves out and inserted some new configs to allow more but I was pretty much done and guns that should be in the safe we now in cases and spread around the house.



Friend Jorge, with the same problem, pointed this http://www.storemoreguns.com company out a couple weeks ago so I counted poorly and ordered the 20-gun set ($75)

It’s essentially sheet of the loop side of Velcro you staple to the bottom of the shelf and then a series of .22 rods that a disk with the hook side you slide into the barrel and hook to the bottom of the shelf.



As you can see, it works great and the 12 gun safe now holds 24 with room for at least a half dozen more (time to get busy!). 32 percussion no longer fits since I filled in the insert in the shelf that allowed very long barrels so I’ll just have to let VANimrod make me and offer I can’t refuse (hear that Sean!)

As you can see, I ran over 20 so cut a disk from a dowel and drilled and inserted and then stuck some Velcro on the end. In fact, you could make this whole set-up for far less than $75 but I have to give the folks that put it together credit for ingenuity and marketing it so I don’t feel like I wasted the money.



A nice couple hour project including oiling and checking out guns that don’t get out of the safe much as well as catching up with documenting serial numbers and such.
