I think I got those same ones when I got my safe. They're doubly good because they use what's ordinarily dead space between the tops of rifle barrels and the bottom of the shelves. I've got eight handguns hanging from the shelf in otherwise wasted space. Each gun has its magazines stacked on the shelf above it. Very easy to pick out a gun and its mags for a range trip. Very space-efficient use of the Liberty. <br /><br />The only drawback is I found them too tight for comfort on .22s. The vinyl was too thick. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-5297940920474722912014-04-19T07:39:10.662-05:002014-04-19T07:39:10.662-05:00Around thanksgiving I finally purchased a real gun...Around thanksgiving I finally purchased a real gun safe. Prior to that I had a 'cabinet' that wasn't a deterrent to anybody but small children. On the plus side a black friday sale cut the price in half (enough to displace considerably shipping costs).<br /><br />In setting up the safe I did a side for shorter long guns and one for longer ones to be as efficient with space as possible. <br /><br />Haven't got to the point where stuff stacks onto each other too bad. However at my average historic purchase rate of about 1.75 guns a year eventually it will be a problem. I like the vertical rack system a lot. Also my pistols could group themselves as desired. Revolvers and Glocks don't seem to get along.

I've only seen the Winchester "Run Around Susan II" kit on Amazon, which holds only 8 long guns in a single circle, not a double ring as you describe. What kit is that, please?Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-57462520588065144152014-04-18T21:45:58.586-05:002014-04-18T21:45:58.586-05:00Rolf:

Especially if it holds an inner and outer circle of guns. The standard fixed racks in safes make getting to the back row(s) a problem.<br /><br />If you put the longer ones in the inner circle, you may be able to add shoulder racks or shelves to fill in the open area above the shorter outside circle. Once you get above the longest ones, you can put full width shelves, of course.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.com
