Long barrelled pistols. Anybody got ideas for storing in saf

#1 Post by Pesty »

Organised the cabinet today got tired of fighting getting guns in and out. All nice and easy but I could make a lot more space if I could put the three lbps on the metal in the door or on the side high up.

Anybody made any mods to their safes to use that empty wasted space useful?

I use a U-shaped magnet to hold my LBP secure.

I've pop-riveted a couple of coat hooks to the side and back of my cabinet, hang the LBP/LBR up by the trigger guard.

I took a gym foam roller and cut it down to around 10" then on one end used a drill and 1inch hole cutter to make a decent hole for the guns coat hanger to seat in. This raises it up the 10 inches so it can sit back in the safes rifle rest. Not the best looking but no modifications to the safe required.

My LBP and .22 lever are hanging on the door.. Command hooks through the trigger guards and rare earth magnet sto locate them.

I just used some pieces of chipboard to fashion a makeshift shelf straddling across the upper part of the safe where all the unused space is (also useful for storing bits & bobs). I then cut some groves to hang the LBP (GSG) and LBR from their rods - cheap but effective. I must admit the above solutions look much nicer though. Replacing the GSG with the new Walther at the show in feb so hopefully it'll still work with that brace/rod. I also used magnets to hang the muzzle loader at the back behind said shelf too.

Well drilling is pretty much out it's wedged in a fitted wardrobe well access to one side. But I drilled extra holes in it to fit and it was a hard thing to drill.

Getting the Rosie 92 on the door would help too.

Hmmm magnets sounds interesting I have some steelish hooks somewhere.

Sounds a simple solution with no mess. Off to Amazon to look for magnets cheers.

I hang mine in the rifle slots, wrapped some rubber bands round the dividers to narrow the gap where the rifle barrel would rest and I hang them by the coat hangers.
