Vertical gun rack

Cowman · April 30, 2006, 12:14 AM

I just finished this up. I think it turned out well for something made by someone with practically no woodworking experience and only a circular saw and drill to work with.

Looking good. What did you use to line the barrel cutouts? Will this rack be wall-mounted?

It's this stuff:

Couldn't find a domestic seller online, but you see the stuff at wal-mart, sears, etc these days.

It's not wall mounted per se but it's meant to sit along a wall. The guns are secure, I was able to shake the whole thing fairly hard and nothing even tried to fall out. Not obvious in the pic(or even looking at it) but there's a thin strip of wood on the bottom in the front that makes it sit tilting very slightly backwards and that seems to make all the difference.

Thanks.

It looks pretty good! I made the same sort of thing myself out of 2 x 4s, albeit a bit cruder, and I put a small box around the base to be able to lean my rifles.

Well done!

MentalEddy,

This is a 4 year-old thread. Cowman hasn't visited the forum in 3 years. It's doubtful he will respond.
