Have any of you shelled out on one of the Beta Project style free standing rifle racks witn adjustable height aluminium bars and plastic spacers held in place by polymer uprights?
They are also marketed under different brand names like Matrix and Nuprol.

I made this after seeing the ones you're talking about. Cheaper to make and bonus if you like making things. I don't use it now but want to build something better in the future, space pending. Similar to what I have seen someone has done on this post...the one like it's built into a wardrobe.

Ahm. Ladies and gentlemen, I have wanted to do this for a while. Having slaved away for hours, spent enough money to buy another gun (doh) and hired a van to now have my guns stored vertically, it is ready...

I’ll probably get a fair amount of stick for this but anyone who stores their guns on walls in plain sight or in an easily accessible place is a moron, regardless of the fact the are toy guns.
Few friends have been burgled and all their rifs taken same with the amount of posts I see of people leaving stuff in cars. Store them away, even if it’s in a wardrobe or something.
Only one of a few reasons people have stuff on walls, that’s to show off.

Think you're slightly missing my point, I'm not saying they have to be locked in gun safes (if you have one great as I store multiple things in mine) but why bother leaving things to chance. Two people I know have had their homes broken into and all rifs and gear stolen, one friend had his garage that was at the end of his garden broken into which again had all his guns and gear in. I see multiple posts about people leaving guns and gear in their cars over night etc and they also have been broken into.
There's a fine line between a responsible gun owner (in any sense) and an irresponsible one. Only takes one person to see what you have and decide they want it.
Well short of here its hardly on public display. And i find it kinda sad that you think you cant have things out in your house on the off chance someone breaks in and robs it. Is your tv in one of those cupboard units from the 70s? So its locked away? ?
They have always been out. Theres an earlier post showing where they were previously. The new storage soloution was to free up floor space.

Having a nice big TV on the wall and replica firearms are two totally different things. Its just an opinion, you don't have to like it nor do you have to listen to it but personally I think its a stupid idea to have guns (regardless of the type - be it airsoft/air rifle etc etc) hung on a wall or stored in a way that they are easily accessible to other people.
Fair enough. I get the point your making, I do. No ones going to point a tv at a petrol station attendant and demand they empty the till.
Buuut for now anyway i like my display.

A toy which is still a replica firearm, which in the hands of someone with other intentions for which other people would have no idea if its real or not. Why do you think sites and shops ask you to have guns covered until you are on the premises?
And why does that have any relevance to hanging them on your wall? I'm fully aware of the impact of a RIF out in public, but the wall of your house isn't public space. Do you spend your whole life worrying about the tiny possibly of 'what if someone breaks in and steals my toy guns'?
Your house is secure, there's no legal responsibility to lock away or hide your RIF's, therefore do whatever you want with them inside your own home. There's very little difference in them being hung on the wall or put in a wardrobe, someone ransacking your home will probably find them wherever they are.
Your opinion is your opinion at the end of the day, calling people morons for their choices INSIDE THEIR OWN HOME and within the confines of the law, just makes you look silly. (In my opinion, of course

Yes you are right, there is no legal reason you cant. But having said that why make it easier?
Not sure about the area you live in but when you have a fair amount of burglaries local and as I said in previous posts the amount of people I have seen post publicly about being broken into why take the risk of having valuables and or RIF's hanging on your wall, you say my house is secure but as a victim of being burgled I can assure you the majority of people who think their house is secure are naive. I personally have numerous people come to my house for varying reasons be it window cleaner, tradesmen etc so why would I want to openly advertise the fact that I have replicas hanging about?
Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. The fact I'm not the only person to think the same way suggests that my opinion is also a valid one.
Just boils down to this really, I'm not the only person who has mine either, so I guess both are valid. Calling people morons for their valid opinion though devalues your opinion, imo.
