Gun Transport/Display Setups

[Ian_Gere]

I bought a plastic peg-board & tubs kit a while back but didn't get round to attaching it to a wall - this thread has finally guilted me into pulling my finger out:

...although this is actually only half of it: there's another back board & more tubs but i ran out of rawlplugs and motivation :lol:​

​

For the moment i've just tossed a bunch of stuff that was lying around on my desk into it, but when I fit the 2nd board above this, I will have a major boost to the tidiness and efficiency of my gun teching efforts. I'm tempted to buy a few of the back boards to use to attach my guns to a wall in my back bedroom too, so I can use the same tubs for accessories, but that will depend on whether ordinary peg board hooks will fit into the holes...

So, Undieing_Lust, what diameter is the steel rod your hooks are made from, please?

Well I have my case just about finished for my Owen gun. It is a wooden box bought off amazon, lined internally with craft foam and externally with lots of different pictures relating to WW2 Australia (recruitment posters, newspaper clippings, photos, paintings) glued on with PVA. I then varnished it and replaced the flimsy hinges with T hinges and a hasp and staple. I am still debating handles or lee enfield sling loops (I will have to carry a sling anyway so why not use it to carry the box). I will try to have photo's next week, when I have the Owen gun.

Although all the posts are 'display' based, the title does include transport, so here is my packed gun case

(Hopefully I can twist the other halves arm around to letting me have a display area - until then, its all stuff in a wardrobe

Remembered I got this year's ago from an American PX in Wiesbaden so now stores some of my stuff.

It's been a while, what with the move back to the UK and starting the new job, but more importantly the man cave is coming along nicely! I might even get to go out shooting this week! Thinking of the Bunker in Epsom tomorrow night and the Billet in Aldershot on Sunday!

That's a really impressive collection of stuff, cav!

The majority of my gear is laid out in a 1.5m x 0.75m drawer in the bottom of my wardrobe/ikea storage unit thing, with guns relegated to the gun bag under my bed. As soon as I get another rifle I'm going to make some space for a permanent storage solution.

I'm thinking pegboard (securely!) mounted on the wall above my desk.

Cheers Tac!

One of the perks of living alone (for now) is that I can set up my man cave as i please! Missus Cav is cool with this and wants to get in on airsoft so its a win win!

A mate of mine's wife is verrry anti anything airsoft or military, so he has to hide his stuff on top of the wardrobe, which was cool until she went looking for something and got his fully loaded chest rig in her face!! PMSL!!!

I looked at a variety of solutions and peg board seemed the most simple, cheap and flexible, and even a DIY biff like me could make a frame and mount it on the wall!

Ta Daaaaaaa!!

 

[Undieing_Lust]

One problem with your pegboard cav...Theres still space on it XD

 

[cavninja]

Damn!!! You're right Tac! I'd better get shopping!!!

Out of intrest where did you get your holster for your 226?

 

[SeniorSpaz87]

Looks like it could be Serpa, doesn't look like Safariland

 

[cavninja]

Out of intrest where did you get your holster for your 226?

It's an IMI level 2 holster on an IMI belt platform, so it sits lower than my PC but isn't a leg rig (tried em, not a fan) I got it on Ebay and painted it myself

 

[Albiscuit]

Can I move in Cav?? Hahah

Mine all currently stuffed in backpacks in the bottom of a cupboard. Literrally NO space to put anywhere else or display at all

I live in a box basically.... FML

 

[n1ckh]

As I live in a 2nd floor flat and don't trust my neighbours (fucking junkies and they broke into the flat above me) all my airsoft gear is stored under the drawers in both my cupboards, I slide them out and plenty of space

 

[Undieing_Lust]

That really sucks n1ckh. Dicks heads like that ruin everything.

Cav, is that a normal PRR or a gutted one fitted with PMR446 gubbins?

Liking the hats, guessing you're a collector ?

Does it ever mate but I've made it very clear to them that if they or any of there mates break into my flat and I can prove it, they'll be running for the rest of there life until I get my hands on them

Guess what, they avoid me like the plague and will walk away if they see me coming out of the building or down the street lol

It's a regular PRR, got it off ebay!! And my mate got one too!

The hats? Never intended to collect any, they're just what I've picked up over the years, found or been presented with, never had the chance to have them out, but I think it looks pretty cool in the man cave!
