Extra shelves for safe?

[Aero Denezol]

I want to add another shelf to my safe, right above the top shelf, so I can store an AR pistol lying on it's side. The pistol is too short to use with the rifle rods down below and in any event, I am running out of space for long guns. Do I have to make an extra shelf myself from scratch, or is there one I could buy? Alternately, is there some kind of a rack a I can buy?

Many thanks in advance.

Depending on your Safe, I've known folks who used a wire rack from an old Stove. You might want to cover it with Fabric to protect your Firearm. But, since you're talking about an AT Pistol, there isn't much to protect.

Could always use a dowel down the barrel....

Depending on how sturdy the top shelf is/supported, could just make a simple slide in shelf to your exact size/height likening.

Two support boards, & the cross shelf. Cut some outdoor carpet or heavy duty fabric (Michaels/Hobby Lobby) and 3M aerosol glue/staple.

I paid a visit to my welder years ago & had him cut me out a metal shelf--much thinner than the particle board shelves my safe came with

Get 2 sets of closet rod/dowel hardware.

Glue (or double sided tape them to the sides above your shelf) them side by side with a gap between them - make a 2 rod shelf.

Add 2 dowels to the holders (doesn't need to be 1 1/2" thick just thick enough to hold your AR).

No carpet needed, very inexpensive and easy to install or remove.

Thats a great idea and I stock the brackets. @Aero Denezol if you make it to Vancouver I will donate them to you.

Oops I misunderstood, I was thinking the pistol itself was too short. Maybe.

This is the exact moment when the idea of a second safe comes along, because adding that extra half shelf really doesn't solve all your space issues.
