Your gunrack?

Here's a pic of my gunrack at times....not current but usually full of past, present and future MLers.

Man I wish I could display my guns like that ... I used to ... until someone broke into my house and now ... they are being displayed in someone elses house somewhere ... if only I could find out where! :cursing:

Hi Fred, 20 years ago when I bought this old stone farmhouse I was single. Off the main bedroom was a 10 X 10 room and I put pegs on runners from floor to ceiling on the 2 walls that didn't have a window or door. I had some of my collection in that room. Then came romance and remodeling; now we have an L shaped bedroom! I don't know if I have any pictures, will have to check later. I do like the way you can display your longrifles. :thumbsup:

Yes...it's a sad fact of American life that nothing is secure and property is stolen on a daily basis. Where I live, deadly force can't be used in defense of property and rightly so, but my country home is "secure" not w/ electronic "gizmos", but w/ homespun "booby traps" of which I won't reveal any details. Of course, there's the ever present "enforcer" in case the first line of defense isn't effective and the house boundaries are penetrated. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Off topic, but what the "hey", eh?....Fred

The gunrack that's pictured is for MLers and usually the 2 to 3 bottom rungs are for those in process. Not shown is the gunrack for my "modern CF stuff" which lately has varied because of a change in priorities due to "old age". Also like to build hunting knives because of the shorter "workspan" but don't get the same "kick" as w/ MLers. Often thought of living in an old farmhouse and nearly did....but the wife's preferences were clearly against such an "insane idea". Could have been different, but....Fred

Nice set up. And what's so ugly about that LR???

 

[moose30273]

I would like to build a rack for my muzzleloaders. It is just hard to find 4 feet of unused wallspace. I do keep my blackpowder stuff out just because I like to look at the stuff and the antique nature. The modern stuff I keep locked up. I just can't see someone breaking into the house and running down the street with a fowler or something similar. Just does not fit in with my suburban Atlanta burglars. They might rip the safe off the wall and make off with that.

This is the "wall" in my shop as of about 60 days ago. One has been finished and another one has been started. 4 pistols are not pictured, 2 almost done and 2 with barrels inlet.That should keep me going till I'm 98. I have a set 10 ga. barrels and I'm shopping for wood and locks, should take about 3 years. So if I stop adding more I'm good to 101 years old. And I can hang 2 more on that wall.

I should have started sooner.

And I still need to use up the pistol stock blanks before I die.

I just realised in the picture of the wall is the first flintlock I ever built, and the last.

This is a small, 3-rifle display rack that I made a couple of years ago.

4th one down is the best looking one Just a personal preferance for that style, nice set up though. :thumbsup:

 

[Capt. Jas.]

Bruce,
What have you got planned for the 2nd one down?
What kind of barrel is that?

Wow!...you'd better get busy w/ all that "stuff" staring you in the face. I draw the line at a max of 3 in process but usually have 2 going but you do a lot better than that. At 78 I do have future LRs sitting around and everytime I buy some more parts, my wife tells me that I'm not going to finish them all, but...I'm an optimist. Bioprof...the 3 position gunrack is a nice way to display and a big advantage is it's mobility.... nice LRs too. My "ugly" first LR is styled after Beck and a close up look confirms it's "ugliness", but all is forgiven because it's my "first" and it certainly does the job in the squirrel woods. Because the pictured gunrack only holds six MLers and there's no space for another, it was the cause of my selling what I made and although it was difficult to "part company" w/ guns that were fixtures for many years , presently, building is way more important to me than amassing a rack full of guns....Fred

Not mine, but here's a couple of my buddy's shop.

 

[bowkill]

that is a heart stopper, better place a warning.

Judging from all the racked "in the white" rifles waiting for buyers, your buddy must be a full time builder and is he somebody we might have heard of?.....Fred
