I'm surprised that no one has mentioned hockey pucks. My safe installers recommend that a safe rest on hockey pucks.

I'm assuming that recommendation is to keep the steel away from potentially damp concrete floors. Another solution that I use is to buy the large polypropylene cutting boards (1/2" to 1" thick) from a restaurant supply and cut them to fit the safe's size. For a very large safe, you can cut the board into four sections and put one section under each corner. Make sure the sections are large enough so that you can run the floor bolts through them. If the bolts do not run through the polypropylene pads or the hockey pucks, a committed thief could easily cut through the bolts with a hacksaw or a Sawzall and cart the whole safe off.

| Learned from a rigger not too many years ago for moving heavy objects like huge gunsafes, sheds, etc. is to put two layers of sheet plastic or heavy-duty plastic can liners beneath the object to be moved and it will slide along on a reasonably smooth surface like it was on grease.

| I'd leave the ammo in locked metal boxes, like Army ammo cans. You can braze on the hasp no problem. If you've no kids in the house, just keep them in a cool and dry area. I just don't see any need for putting all that weight into an already heavy and crowded spot...
