What does YOUR gun room look like?

My workshop/loading bench is a mess. If I posted a picture the rest of you feel much better about yours.

My gun room has a double row of rifle racks around the walls. Nice feature of this style rack is that it holds scoped rifles easily and rifles are stored muzzle down, so barrel oil doews not run into the actions.

I feel so inadequate after seeing your gun room. :eek:

I have to start buying more guns! :dancingbanana:
 
Ok, I wanna play too, but my Gun Room is only a vision at the moment, but I already confirmed to the wifiy that this half of the basement is MINE!!!! So it it has great potential.

Here is mine. I would try and clean it up, but then I would just go and buy more guns to fill it up again. Besides, a squre foot is a square foot, and I have not figured out how to get two square feet into one.

As soon as one more kid moves out of the basement, I can take over one of the larger rooms and fit more in there. As it is now, there is stuff stored in the basement storage rooms, out in the small workshop, out in the big workshop, and in the garage. Might even be some out in one of the sheds too.

Here is a shot from the bigger workshop (storeage half):

Stencollector, I think that solider display ROCKS.... where do you find those cool maniquinns (screw the spell), surplus sales at your local le chateau store?

seriously they are neat.
 
Both manikins are from the old Eaton's closeout. The one in the top photo has a bit of a pout on....so it does look a bit ###. Hardest thing is to find male ones....female ones just don't fill the uniforms properly.

If you want to have some fun with stuff like that, set one up around the hall corner or in the wife's closet. Never fails to get a laugh (just not from her). Last time I did this, she moved one into my bathroom. I had already guessed she would do that, but it still surprised me for the next dozen times I went into that bathroom until I finally had enough and moved it back into the gunroom.

If nothing else, the manikins give a spot where you can hang webbing on rather than throwing them into the trunk with all the rest where nobody will ever see it.
 
heres some pics of mine. Im just starting out:D new this year and my wife is still with me;)

the are just 1inch board drilled with dowels stuck in them. I can move them around how ever i want. I drilled holes every inch but if i was to do it again I would do it every half a inch.
 
Whaaaaaaa!!! I dont have a gun room yet. Just a Crappy Tire steel gun cabinet. :D

Granted my dream room would go in direct relation to an underground fortress accessed by an elevator. That would go hand in hand of building a 3 storey house with the 3rd storey completely buried underground with my own 50 yard pistol range being there as well.

Do you all have the same mental image of my anti-zombie war room yet? :dancingbanana:
 
i forgot to show some of the guns. There are more in the cabinets and another wall rack about the size of the one shown, but I'm too lazy to go photograph it...

Clever! You are clever!

I was thinking of making some long, old style racks out of 1x6's and cutting the curves with a scroll saw.

However, your setup is much simpler!

Are the pegs quite sturdy?
 
if it will hold old mausers and 1873 winchester rifles, it should hold most guns. they are pretty strong, just remember to angle them up a bit. also pick a good size dowel. vey easy and very cheap.
 
Yeah, it really rebuilt into a nice machine and it has really minimal wear :) It does do a great job, it is MUCH more rigid than the other lathe was when cutting larger chunks of steel.
