It's a great solution, but can be copied at a much lower price than it sells for at retail.

Most hole saws use a 1/4" pilot bit. A small scrap of 1/8" or 1/4" flat stock (Masonite, MDF, plywood, etc.) can yield a boat load of discs with 1/4" holes in the center. Glue and go.

How are they working out? No problems with them coming loose from the shelf?

No issues so far.

Wood doweling could rust your bore.

^^^ That's what I was thinking. I believe the kit rods are plastic or plastic covered?

The risk should be minimal if proper temp and humidity are maintained within the safe, especially if the guns are lubricated.

Iron will rust when the relative humidity in the air climbs above 50%, and steel rusts when the relative humidity reaches 80%.

These good ideas here got me thinking, after several attempts at having the inside of my rifle safe look like a successful circus balancing act. Even if I can find a way to balance the rifles that aren't the ones leaning on corners, that would work for me.
