Started work on my gun storage...
AKA "War Closet"
Diminsions on the back wall are 5'x8'.

It is a work in progress but, I don't think it looks too bad.
Opinions? Sugestions? Comments?

Nice! Are the supporting hooks covered with rubberized silicone, to keep from scratching those beauties?

That's what I did .... worked like a charm.

BTW : nice collection

Looks cool. What about security?

Coded deadbolt.

Coded deadbolt.

I'm not wanting to sound like I'm critiquing you, more interested as I'll be moving to a new home in the spring & might consider something like this.

You have a coded deadbolt, but are the walls reinforced anyhow.
I'm assumeing this is more or better than 2x4/2x2 & drywall construction around the "War Closet"?

Nice and clean. Make sure the supporting hooks are all metal, and the pegboard is of substantial thickness to hold the weight.

I understand. Not taken as criticism at all. The walls are not reinforced at all. I wish I could but I had enough trouble clearing this with the wife.

As far as security goes. There is always someone home at my house 24 hr a day. The deadbolt is more of a saftey measure for children.

So if they make it up my 1,800' driveway un-noticed. Past whomever is home and armed at the time. Take a sledgehammer through the wall and steal my little collection.

They can have it

Scribble, scribble... Need to get camo and a sledge hammer.

I like it! I hope thats not all your ammo

Yes that is all my guns and ammo.

 

[turnerdye1]

Yes that is all my guns and ammo.

You should really stop going on boating trips

Looks good. I have to share my secure closet with the wife, so they're not gonna get our vacuum cleaner, either.

I hope that's a solid core door - a fist can breach a hollow core door. Have you done anything about the hinge pins? If the pins are taken out the deadbolt is useless.

 

[mjones]

nice sticker

 

[snapping turtle]

Yes add a gun with a walnut stock and you will be GTG.

I love the folding door to open it up like a armory vault.

Looks great. I always wanted to do something like that hidden behind a bookcase, but haven't lived in a place where I'd have the room to do so, yet.

One day.

 

[JohnP82]

Pretty cool setup

 

[superjoe76]

I had planned on doing that with a house we bid on. Had tons of room and hideaway in the basement that was perfect for this kind of thing!

 

[asquires2]

I did the same thing, turning one of my closets into a gun chase.
