Got a few too many firearms, the safe I was looking at was gonna be a bear to move, and since I move every 3 years that was a no go. So I settled on a little safe remodel project and I’m happy with the results.

Move all ammo to the closet on basic shelves, cost me 100$.



Took the generic “organizer” and Sheetrock off the door. Look at this janky ass mess…I mean wow.



Bought some sheet metal, painted it, and secured it.



Bought a few more items from “Gun Storage Solutions” and all the handguns fit now.



Obligatory group photo while I situated everything.



Final result:





The littlest one got a “closet” remodel as well.
She’s been changing 4x a day and hanging/organizing her own clothes. Any guess as to her favorite color?

Nice!

After a recent inheritance (and a small buying spree) I'm at the point of needing some space myself.

I think I'll look at Gun Storage Solutions as well. Link?

BTW, the sheetrock on the door is a fire retardant feature. The sheet metal is not going to block any heat...




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Looks good. What did you use to attach the mags on the door? Do you have any insulation on the back of the metal on the door?

Tracking, the safe serves to keep kids out. I don’t foresee it stopping and real fire damage in its original state.

That magazine storage setup is sharp, Mr. Otto!

I was 3D printing some magazine holders not too long ago, but your solution is even slicker. (Assuming one has a huge span of sheet metal to work with.) Cool




God bless America.

Very nice! You have the pistol bases nicely covered. Now, on to revolvers...

Cute little one. Be prepared. Her taste will go from pink to magenta to purple as she ages. Very typical progression for little lady’s

Sweet little girl!

Nice pics of all the storage ideas which I am planning to steal (some at least) for me.

I can't make out from the pic how he did his magazine holders. How did he do it?



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Nice job, but you have a serious 1911 deficiency.
+1 on the storage solutions, found them years ago at a gun show.
