I recently purchased a new safe. The rack in the safe is too high for the ARs. Has anyone ever seen this issue and come up with a solution for this?

Put a shelf there to raise the "floor".  Use the new space under for ammo.

The racks are just wide enough for the buffer tube to fit. Put the stock on the second position out from collapsed, and hang the rifle muzzle-down from the rack.

I've seen wood dowels dropped down barrels to make up the missing distance to the rack.  Seems to work pretty well.

FPNI.

OP, how did you not think of this? I made a shelf from MDF with a couple metal brackets screwed into them. Everything is measured to fit so tightly it has to be screwed together inside the safe. Make the shelf perfectly tall enough to fit ammo cans underneath. This should also be the correct height for ARs to fit on top of and nestle into the rack.

I had the same issue when I first bought my Liberty Safe.  Instead of dowels, I purchased Rifle Rods made by Gun Storage Solutions.  They are a good alternative to mitigate the issue you are experiencing and also create space efficiency within your safe.  The product can be found on Amazon and online gun safe retailers.

my safe came with shelves. I put a shelf 6-8" off the bottom. I store knives under that shelf.

This. Stack ammo to raise the "floor" and put AR stock on top
