Misc Gun cabinet for the poors

Finally finished my makeshift Amazon only gun locker for my apartment. It’s obviously not built to keep a determined person or a fire out but it keeps me legal. Total cost was $320.

Yeah that was my first thoughts I’ve had the same issue with my 18 gun cabinet that holds nowhere near that many without damaging others lol

I'm feeling glad, I gave a 12 gun safe, and it's actually likely going to fit 12 or even more!!!

My advice and what seems to be helping?

Scoped rifles are the biggest issue, I've heard about alternating barrel up and barrel down.  Or alternate scope gun and a non scoped gun.

Otherwise, I've noticed the scopes  force the gun at a wider angle with the normal slots, but if you can put in slots that stick out more, they hold the guns more vertical and can accommodate the scopes better. That's what I'm planning on doing to make mine even a little bit better.

Yeah mine only has a few slots for scoped and some of my bolts/lever are too short for the other slots so they tend to lean into each other it’s a headache so next up gun room lol realistically more like reinforced gun closet I ain’t rich hahahaha

For your shorter barrel rifles, go to any hardware store and buy wooden dowling that fits loosely inside the barrel, cut to a length that will help support it. In the slots. No more leaning and it won't damage your barrels.
