I should be receiving a Superior Master 50 safe tomorrow, and would like to build gun rack that can pull out. I looked at a Reed safe and kind of like their pull out rack.
The biggest problem I am having, is figuring out what I want to use to hold the barrel or hand guards of my guns. I will have a few normal length AR's, but will also have a AR pistol and in the future two SBR"s. So with a normal rack the SBR's will be to short, so would be nice to have something that adjusts height. I was thinking about using the Secureit kit and then mounting a cradle grid on each side of the shelf. Does anyone have any other companies that make similar stuff or opinions on this. |

So do you want the pull out system, or do you want the cradle system? Or do you want a pull out system that uses the cradle system?
I don't see how the cradle system would save you much, if any room, over just the standard set up in the safe. If you're a bit handy, I would say that pullout system wouldn't be hard to build at all. A small platform for the drawer slides, some nice plywood or solid board, and a little time with the skilsaw/router. The hardest part would be the drawer slides, but that isn't too bad, you'd also have to make sure to get a nice heavy duty set. ETA: I missed the part about the SBRs/Pistol. It looks like the shelves have built in standards, so it wouldn't be hard at all just to add a another loop, or even just a single sided loop for the shorter rifles. They might also fit with the stock extended all the way, that's what I have to do with mine. |

This is the other company that I am familiar with. No experience with either.

Unkonwhavoc- I was thinking of a pull out system with a cradle system or something like it. I am open and I guess that's why I posted to get some input or opinions. I know I may not really get more guns in there, it's more about having them sit in there more organized and easier to get out. I am not really a huge fan of rack systems that come in gun safes.
My dad is pretty good at building stuff so I am sure we can figure out something, just mainly want to figure out how to mount the guns. FAS1: Thanks, similar to the one I posted. I wonder what one works better or if there is others. I still have to look at all of the dimensions more, but thinking possibly 3 or 4 guns on each side and then maybe 2 or 3 guns on the front of the rack. Again it will depend on what style racking I would use and how things fit the best. |

Thanks xeeoneyx
So I finally got some time and went to Sportsmanguide and picked up a 2 gun Secureit rack to see how I liked it. It didn't really work the way I wanted it to. Most stuff fit in it well, but a thicker quad rail didn't fit right. I think the other brand that was listed above might work better, but wish I could pick up locally to try it first. I wish I could find something where a barrel or rail would actually click into place so it wouldn't have movement, specially since this will be on a pull out rack. |
