Gun safe -space saving
A recent discussion on the Fox forum centered on gun safes and
conservation or added space within a gun safe for long guns.
The best method I have found is a"lazy-susan" styled revolving
circular platform stabilizing a dozen shotguns or rifles. The base turns on bearings allowing the entire unit to store or pick out guns from the unit.
Circular platforms-top and bottom-hold and stabilize rifles or shotguns.
I have owned mine for at least 20 years and would not give it up for rifle/shotgun storage in my Liberty safe. A bit of re-arranging can really help access without marring finish or scarring fine guns. I pad the buttplate slots with small bubble wrap, protecting original Silvers or other rare pads on stocks. Gun socks I use also add protection and fit well, insuring "safe"-safe storage.
Fits well for rifles or shotguns, and still allows more gun storage along the sides within the safe. Pistols and other valuables can be fitted in space on shelves above the unit.
Examples of this revolving style safe rack can be seen at Rush Creek Creations-on the net.
Mine is an older wood unit, but the principle in space saving is the same.
There are others out there so Google them up, if you wish to research the idea for your safe. You might be glad you did.
