Sweet... I finished up mine recently, but for pew pews so wont show here. I ended up putting an LED strip light around the top for some bling...ha. Was 20 bucks off Amazon for a 20 foot small strip.

Where did you get the hardware? Really like the layout you have!

On Amazon.
Used 2" x 6" x 5'-6" fir to mount metal racking -> fir mounted to concrete with wedge anchors.

I second the question about the hardware purchase. Looks great

I got a Black Friday sale price, as I received the (2) 12 gun racks for a total of $165.37.
The whole rack cost me about $220.00, including wood and wedge anchors.
I had to buy a 50 pack of wedge anchors ($35) even thought I only used 12:cautious:.

That's really cool, wish I had a dedicated room for my stuff like that. Nice job on the rack, looks like a pro did it. 5th from the right, is that a renegade?

Yes, it's a 50 cal. Thompson Center Renegade I made from a kit in 1993.

- Funny story behind the kit; I built it, had it blued & was so proud of it, I ran down to my friend/neighbors house to show him.
Unfortunately, I forgot to zip the rear of the soft case and the gun came out the back when I was running …. and skipped on the cement sidewalk.
It was badly damaged to say the leasto_O.
I remember going home and sitting on my couch in a Cold Sweat I was so upset ................. :eek:
About a week later, I started re-sanding the wood/metal work ......... and eventually had it re-blued.

Afterwards, It looked better than the original job:cool: ....... but I haven't shot it since the late 1990's.

That would make anybody sick.🤢 We used to shoot BP every weekend decades ago, and the Renegade 54 cal was one of them. Awesome rifles, and the hair double set trigger, just breathe on it..lol.

Two (main) metal rack sections, each made up of (4) pieces totaling (5'-4") mounted on 5'-6" fir, so total rack = 11' .

Thanks. My guns are stored horizontal which I like better, but takes more room. Your measurement gives me an idea for making the change which is long overdue. Crow

I like your current racks , easier to see what to choose next as you can see the whole gun not just the underside . Also i think much safer to handle as you pick up the gun . (not just grabbing the end of the barrel and swinging the gun out of the rack .)

Hey Stan, I agree. I started that way. But ran out of wall.

Then had to alternate them which started problems.

I could get 3 more guns in a rack but with complications. The barrel goes under the stock of the gun above making it somewhat tricky to remove. Don’t like this setup. Never dropped one. Knock on wood.
I’m going to have to adopt Kirk’s type of setup and soon. If I remember correctly Lewis had a nice vertical setup as well. Crow
