I wanted to raise my Gallo Ref 3.5's 8 inches and found very heavy and dense ballistic rubber blocks. These are made to stop high calibre bullets. They are very inert, solid and do not move.
The only negative is temporary. They give off an oily smelling gas. I left a window in my dedicated room and a door to the adjoining garage open for a week. I also ran the AC fan for the same period and it all dissipated in that time with no odor since.
I have a porcelain tile floor over concrete. I would not initially trust these on nice carpeting or wood floors. However, a thin wax paper layer between the bottom of the block and the surface should work fine.
For $45.00 per side plus shipping this surely beats any aftermarket dedicated stand costing upwards of $1K!

Sounds like Barney's Beanery....I think that putting these on the oak floors would not, in the long run, be good ....
Someone suggested half a tennis ball under each corner, I will try those before step 2...
I was off on the weight, they are 120 pounds each..
Yeah, anything which contains an oil, sap, etc. is eventually going to leave a stain which you will NOT be able to remove.
:)
The smell and oiliness disappears in a week. I have had these for over one year and none of that initial residue remains. Someone suggested on another site that leaving them in the sun for a day or two dispels any gas discharge into the air permanently. Of course, I can fully understand why any such product may not meet your specific needs.
