I decided I was tired of my pistols clicking together and getting knocked against each other occasionally. I also wanted more room to store mags and gear.
Since I had the day off today, I decided to get busy. After a couple of hours helping my folks I got the the store and bought the materials.
2 -1X6 -8' pine boards and some felt and I was ready. I cut the boards to length , stapled the felt to the board and screwed it all together. A Spray of rem oil on the felt for added corrosion resistance and I was done.
My .44 Ruger Vaquero was too large to fit the safe and allow the door to close so I made a separate holder.
You might want to take a scrap of your felt and check to see if it will absorb water (like a paper towel.) If it does and the relative humidity in the area where your guns are stored is over 40% you could end up with a rust spot where a gun is touching the felt. Same effect as storing a gun in a pistol rug. A closed cell foam is a better choice as it will not absorb moisture from the surrounding air. Also make sure you have a thin coat of oil on all the guns.
I have desiccant packs in the safe as well, and did hose the felt down with Rem oil. I always oil my guns after handling as well. Thanks for the advice , I will keep an eye on em.
