OT-But Parker Related-Gun Safe
 

I purchased new gun safe back in August. I was very disappointed with the long gun shelf/rack. It was obviously made for single barreled guns & it was set so short that I assume it was intended for AR style black guns.

I asked the safe manufacturer if they would make me a new rack which would be more compatible with SxS shotguns. They basically told me I was on my own if I need a rack like this.

I took matters into my own hands & thought I would share my solution to the problem. All it takes is an old piece of scrap plywood, do a layout, cut a bunch of 2" holes with a hole saw, finish the cut-out the way you want it, route the edges & paint it with Plasti-Dip to make a none marring surface. The only costs involved were for the Plasti-Dip

Here's some before & after pictures of the issue & results.

Very nice. It is a good solution.

great idea !

Who is the manufacturer of the safe?

glad you soled the double gun problem in these safes...i have a browning safe with the same prpblem....charlie

I don't think they even design them for anything but single barrel guns. Rifles with scopes take up two slots obviously.

I bought a nice Liberty safe recently. All of the slots handle short guns only except for the front ones. When you put a pump or semi-auto shotgun in these so it will sit upright, and then close the door, it hits the stocks, scratching the wooden ones, causing them to fall over, and when you open the door, they jump out at you. Poorly designed. I'm going to have to run a strap across the front to keep them in place.

Great job solving the double gun problem on your part.

I bought a custom-made safe from Mike Smith (http://m.smithsecuritysafes.com) Here's will make up whatever you need. I think he's the best.

Mine is a Superior Safe

It's not very aptly named...

Did you consider anything that might be in the Plasti-dip and how it might interact with the bluing on the gun? Just a thought.
