By chance, are there any other folks with a stack-on cabinet that have put padding inside to protect your firearms from dings ? I'm curious how that's worked out for folks.

Any advice would be great!

I put those plastic strips that press onto car doors around the inside edge of the cabinet.

I'm not sure I know what you mean?

I catch myself banging my optics on the cabinet and just generally banging my firearms around a bit...

I thought about buying some el-cheapo foam and using some sort of glue to make it stick? Maybe some 3M adhesive?

buy some automotive interior fabric, speaker covering material and spray glue it to the walls.

I did this for a friend. I cut the box it came in up to make panels, covered them in velour and poped them in.

That's a very interesting idea. The automotive carpet is super cheap too. Sounds like a good project. I still have the cardboard box sitting in my bedroom because I did not want my neighbors to see it and immediately think they should come take whatever I think is so important.

Yeah, it's definitely not the nicest place I've ever lived. I do think someone would steal my laptop(s) before they tried to break into my cabinet. It's a trade off kinda thing. I'm hoping to be out of this area in 6 months depending on the economy.

I just want to protect my firearms the best I can. They are not safe queens but I don't see why I shouldn't at least try and protect them from my clumsiness :)
