Gun Safe Remodeling ?

[WillD]

Have any of you done it?

I have a well traveled Amsec safe that is pretty much maxed out in it's current configuration. I would like another or bigger safe but I'm limited both by finance and space so I thought why not change the interior configuration and continue to enjoy what I already have.

What I have now is one large full width top shelf, 2/3rds long guns, and 1/3rd smaller vertical shelves beneath. I can easily find a new home for the gear I have on the vertical shelves and then reconfigure that space for more long guns.

I know it's certainly not rocket science I was just wondering if and how you might have tackled a similar situation??

Cheers, Will

Haven't done it yet but I've been looking at better ways to utilize the Cubic Ft. in my safe. A couple of areas, the door for mounting handguns and the ceiling with some kind of hanging ability. The shelves that are in my safe I find useless and a waste of space.

Probably the best safes I've seen are the Pendleton circular safes at SHOT:

I know of guys who showed their guns off to some "friends". When they deployed, the dirtbags backed a truck up into the garage, and took their time. Dollied the safe out into their truck, ate his food, drank his beer, and left with all his guns. Make sure your safe is bolted to a cement foundation from inside the safe when possible, using 1/2" threaded rods or larger if possible, embedded in the cement. Also look into these products if you want the finest in home protection:

I've filled two safes, and I need a third. My wife says no. I think I need another wife too.
