I had to get away from using foam this last time. The thinness of the foam between the guns got so that it made the guns unstable. When I started with just 3 and then 4 foam was ok, but there just isn't enough material left with 6 to make things stable.
This last go round, I used 1x6 and cut them out. Two for the base, one solid on the bottom and the top base piece cut out for the butt of the gun. Two pieced against the back wall as well. For the shorter guns I only cut a barrel grove in the front piece and the tip of the barrel rests against the back piece of 1x6. For the larger guns, both 1x6's were cut for the barrel and the tip of the barrel rests against the back of the safe.
I actually got the idea from this website. http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinRacks05.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
I had previously built a 12 handgun rack for the big safe. I have it pushed toward the back with the pistols in it and the magazines lay in front of each pistol they go with. I don't think in the small safe there is enough room to make a rack for mags below the guns, but I just checked in the big safe and I have a new project. There is plenty of room to build storage below the rack that is in there.
