He then had studs welded to it so that they went up into the residential security container (RSC, but some people say safe). he took the plate inside, then set the RSC on it, ran the nuts on the studs and put the covers for the studs on. He made the stud covers from wood and wrapped them in foam rubber so that there would be little chance of damaging his firearms. This setup allows him to have his safe in his apartment and avoid drilling holes that would violate his lease while preventing someone from taking it out the door without using power tools or knocking down a portion of the wall. He has since covered the steel with carpet to make it look "clean". I have to say it was a little on the expensive side but it works to keep his stuff in his apartment.
I like this idea. You could even do it with a stack-on "safe" and wood. It's not as secure but it's a step up from an unmodified stack-on and slows down smash and grab burglars.
