Pepsi machine rifle storage
So my kids getting to the age where I think I should start considering locking my rifles up instead of storing them in my cases. So for the past few months I have been looking here and there at safes, but just haven't had the coin to drop on one. Lucky for me at the shop there is an old Pepsi machine that needed a new compressor and my boss told me I could have it because he doesn't want to fix it. So today on my lunch break I gutted it, took some measurements, and it seems like it will fit all of my rifles just fine. The outside is a little weathered because it has been sitting outside for a couple years, which I like because who would guess it was being used as a safe? But I want to make the internals look pretty nice, and get the insulation out and maybe line it with some durarock to give it some sort of fire protection. I'm not to sure what to line it with though, maybe some outdoor carpet? Or some felt? I guess the question is, have any of you guys done this? Or know someone who has? Got any suggestions?

As for the Pepsi safe, you can go several ways.
Use adhesives to secure carpet to interior.
Build shelving using wood materials and cover with your choice of carpet/felt.

Nice idea but how many people will go, "So how come the pop machine doesn't work?"
Only the people who call coke "pop"
:D

Non Berber, non shag, as thin as possible. Go sample things at lowes, Home Depot, etc. something you can fold 90*, something you can shape and cut without fraying, something that won't show every oil stain, And..something you like.
Sadly ugly green outdoor carpet is easiest, but make a few stops at the local home improvement stores to see what you can find.
