I have a Liberty Safe Company "Franklin 50" safe. It is a large safe.
But last night, I maxed it out.
This Christmas was a "Garand" Christmas at our house. I ordered a CMP Field Grade for each of my six children the first week of December. Though they showed available on the site, I ended up on back order. I got an email early this week letting me know that service grades could be shipped instead for another $20 per rifle, and those arrived yesterday. Very nice rifles. Mix of WWII and post War Springfield rifles all with new CMP wood and wood hardware. Worst gauge was a throat of 3, with most gauging 1+ at both ends.
But, with the addition of those Garands, the safe if completely full. In fact, a shotty and a 10-22 had to go on the top shelf since there wasn't room for them in the vertical racks. Those two guns are being stored for a friend, and they might need to go back.
I am just looking for options to increase my capacity short of spending a bunch on another safe. I suppose it is inevitable, but I would like to put it off as long as possible. They have those rods that remove the physical wood slots and replace them.
Does anyone have any experience with the gun rods for gun safes?
I have them in one safe and they work good. They certainly increase the capacity especially if you have a lot of scoped long guns.
Guns are easier to access when wanting one from the back.
I have not found any drawbacks to them yet, but I am not shooting a lot of rifle any more.
Thanks for the feedback!
