Does anyone see any problems with putting a wooden dowel rod in the barrel of shorter rifle so that it will fit in a gun rack in my safe? __________________________ | ||

Poly or fiberglass might be less likely to retain moisture and promote rust? | |||

wood holds moisture which will promote rusting in the barrel You'd be better off with plastic like this Rifle Rod starter kit Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Rust. Living in the desert I sometimes forget about obvious rust issues. Thanks! __________________________ | |||

I built a platform for the side that my shorter rifles are on. Don’t like the idea of something in the barrel. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Brass rod pushed through a cork? Brass is less likely to damage the rifling, last longer than plastic. Cork or plastic cap to keep it from slipping completely down the bore. Where to get brass rod? Good question. Metal supplier comes to mind, but you likely want less than 1/4” to fit in the 22 bores. | |||

Carbon fiber arrows are pretty slim, some extremely so. I don't shoot them though so I've got nothing to measure. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

+1 Also, you might could store something under the platform like 22 ammo, etc. | |||

I just sit cases of ammunition in the bottom of my safes that has shorter rifles and shotguns in it... *************** "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition." - Rudyard Kipling | |||

That is not a bad idea either. A metal ammunition box would work for my SBR I’ll bet. __________________________ | |||

I ordered a larger set of those... Came today. Hopefully this weekend I can set it up. Problem is in the room the large safe is in, there isn't room for the contents of the safe, outside of the safe.

THIS. My butt of my shorter AR's sits on ammo cans filled with 223 ammo. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.
