re: Advice moving a gun safe

If you're moving it on carpet then just use a handful of those carpet sliders (the smooth disc that you put under the corners of furniture when you want to move it).

Three of us were planning to spend an afternoon moving a safe into a buddy's new place and for laughs we said we'd try those things... damn. That safe (about the same size as yours) slid through the whole house and into place like we were in an ice rink. Had the job finished in less than ten minutes.
