skillfulmmd Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Hey guys as I get more equipment and guns Id like to display them on a wall. Any of you guys do this and if so any help/advice I did a quick Google search at work on my break and didn't really find much other than hugely expensive army ones for loads of guns. Thanks in advance.
skillfulmmd Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 large(ish) metal coat hooks I was thinking of using something like that or i could get hold of one of them boards where you mount hooks I'm just not sure whether they will hold the weight?
Supporters M_P Posted June 22, 2011 Supporters Posted June 22, 2011 heavy duty pegboard works quite well, I use it in my gun cabinet what is your heaviest gun?
skillfulmmd Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 heavy duty pegboard works quite well, I use it in my gun cabinet what is your heaviest gun? My warrior L96 i think it ways like 9keys without anything on and ill leave my scope, bi-pod scrim net and camo tape on it.
Supporters M_P Posted June 22, 2011 Supporters Posted June 22, 2011 9keys? Pegboard can easily hold an l96 no problem
G-Force Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 large(ish) metal coat hooks That's what I use, I have a wall of guns in my shed which has been taken over by airsoft
Supporters M_P Posted June 22, 2011 Supporters Posted June 22, 2011 @skillfulmind- if you want i can dig up ppictures of my gun cabinet, just so you can see what i use
skillfulmmd Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 @skillfulmind- if you want i can dig up ppictures of my gun cabinet, just so you can see what i use yeah that would be great.
Supporters M_P Posted June 22, 2011 Supporters Posted June 22, 2011 Ive only got some of it before it was finished- it now has doors. I cant get any close ups as its not actually in my house atm

The best way for me to describe what I'd like to go for would be the weapon racks they use in films just without the flashy coming out of a hidden panel type thing.
Supporters M_P Posted June 23, 2011 Supporters Posted June 23, 2011 I didn't get it built, I buily it lol. Do you mean like the bords like this? http://www.fernbyfilms.com/wp-content/uplo...25-1024x680.jpg

Supporters M_P Posted June 23, 2011 Supporters Posted June 23, 2011 haha, im watching that now lol. I suppose you could just get some shelving rack things like that
skillfulmmd Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 haha, im watching that now lol.I suppose you could just get some shelving rack things like that That's what I was thinking then using that the black protective material they use in the airport security cases (don't know the name of it) then installing some Blue LED's in the shelf spacers If I can pull it off I think it will look really good. The stuff in here to clear it up for you guys: http://www.wildhunter.eu/images/gun_case.jpg Opinion?
Supporters M_P Posted June 23, 2011 Supporters Posted June 23, 2011 I think its a good idea, should work well too.
Supporters Liam Porter Posted June 23, 2011 Supporters Posted June 23, 2011 Marksman, where did you take those photos of your gun cabinet?
Supporters M_P Posted June 23, 2011 Supporters Posted June 23, 2011 My basement..... I wish. College design tech workshop. Much cheaper than buying the machines lol
Supporters Liam Porter Posted June 23, 2011 Supporters Posted June 23, 2011 Looks so similar to the tech rooms at my sixth form lol, like the floors & markings, benches, walls, we even have red doors too :L
