Any one know of a company that makes dividers for gun safes to store rifles a little better I have a 14 gun safe the barrel dividers are not the best I have to lay everything against each other all my ar's do not fit properly I am looking for something that can be inserted to divide the space and allow my rifles to sit vertically

Ive been interested in something like this http://www.storemoreguns.com/pages/customer-testimonials for a while now. I'd be interested in others comments about these style devices.

Me too. Been looking at those for 6 months

My safe came with standoffs for scoped rifles which help a lot with ARs. But the plastic cradles were too high up. I sorted all my rifles by length and the shorties were put on one side. That side got one of the shelfs that came with the safe put 6" from the floor of the safe. The other side has all the longer guns. Works well and there is no more barel to barel bunching.

Even some tall wooden dowels might work.

Pretty sure my step father uses those rifle rod things and loves them. He can put about 400 rifles in his 100 gun safe. (Ok, I might be exaggerating a bit).

I went to their Find a Dealer page and it said Ark Tactical is a dealer. I'll need to call Noah and see how it works for them.

I purchased one of the rifle rod starter sets (10 rods with velcro) for $40 on Amazon last month. They do help, but are expensive for what you get. Unfortunately ARs with optics take up a bunch of depth in the safe, so I didn't get multiple layers like they show in their videos, but getting guns in and out is much easier since I don't have to lift the stock over the lip of the safe. The other benefit was using one of the shelves to raise the shorter rifles up, which gave more storage for other items.

I'm a huge fan of their handgun hangers, those work great!

I've long thought, does anyone who designs gun safes actually use them? I almost think anti-'s make them just to piss off gun owners.

I love my Rifle Rods. I can easily get twice or three times the guns in my safe. My safe's fabric lining on the selves already work with the Velcro on the Rod. I find I have to remove less guns to get to a rifle in the back of the safe. You can reverse the rifles as you stack them. One action back followed by action forward then action back. You can get more in a row that way. The guns aren't restricted to be rows either. You just put what ever fits in the space that is there. Gaps are where you decide you want them, not where the racks dictate. I have three different level of shelves to match the length of guns. I also have a some shorter 12 ga shotguns that have pvc pipe to extend the barrel up for the rods to work. I'm still using the knit gun sleeves to protect against scratches from before I switched to Rifle Rods. I've recently started putting tags at the top of the Rods to make it easier to know which guns are where in the back.

I use and like their Handgun Hangers.

They're cheaper than buying another safe. My Rifle Rods are the equivalent of another safe.

Those pesky, evil pistol grips make storing rifles a pain. If most of you are like me, the majority of your long guns probably have a pistol grip.

Optics also cause problems.

I have considered making something out of wood
