Sentinel "18" Gun Storage Box. Modifications, Improvements and Gripes.

I put this together last night. There are some design issues and modifications that I made to address them.
Firstly, the gun braces are set at 38 inches high, a Marlin 60 is 37 inches long, and most of my other rifles are near the same size.
I lowered one side of the cabinet down to 32 inches high, easy mod, just drilled fresh holes six inches lower than the factory ones.
The other mod was to lower the bottom shelf on the right side by 5 inches. This allowed me to store my shorter guns on that side and still left about a foot of storage underneath.
After these mods, I'm still only able to hold 9 of my long guns in this cabinet. I'd be surprised if anyone could fit 18 guns in this cabinet.
Still, for about $150 at WalMart, this is a useful cabinet with the mods mentioned above.
Issues: they only supply 4 scoped rifle stand-offs, and it doesn't seem possible to buy more.
I did find a link to a file that will let you 3D print them, but that's a toy I don't have yet.

Also, slot one in the cabinet will interfere with the door lock, and is unusable.

Anyways, hope this helps someone.
