My gun safe would not hold the stated number of long guns with the existing internals. I replaced the internals and that significantly increased the storage space. My handguns are mostly attached to the door liner on plastic pegs. As for socks, I use long socks or knee socks to protect the stock and part of the reciever area. That'st right, regular long socks. I use short regular length socks to store handguns. I also open the bolts and let then stick further back. I transport all guns with the socks on and in a hard care. Might look a bit strange for some folks but I take no notice. Might want to take a second look at these long socks before you throw them out and don't forget to wash then before use!!
Be Safe
