Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Custom Walnut Gun Display almost finished!

Really nice Joe, some pretty fancy stuff in there. Whoever did the wood work did a great job!

I vote yes.

Thanks for the compliment, Jason. That horizontal section is all adjustable - he drilled holes every inch or so and I have walnut pegs that I just insert where they work to space the guns out enough that they don't touch. Works great.

Don't you know it, brutha!

The price wasn't horrible (well, in my opinion it wasn't). It can be done for 25% less in Hickory or Cherry. I think I'm into it a total of $21,500. It was initially $20K and then I added that little return section with the tilted shelves for $1500. Everything has an identical keyed lock - not really for security, but just when kids come over, etc. Two rows of LED lighting in the tops of all the cabinets, top of the line adjustable hinges and slides. He used plexi glass as those doors are really big and he thought they would come apart if I used glass. It's crystal clear though - you'd never know. Need to use a special plastic cleaner on it. Should be completely finished in a few weeks and I'll get some better than iPhone pics. Appreciate all the compliments - hope some of you can use the design to do the same!

Joe

Thanks, Eric - I thought you'd see that in there. The kids have their X-box on the opposite wall in that room so the camera serves two purposes - can check in on the little buggers too!

Very nicely done!

Wow! Just wow. That is stunning!

Joe, that is simply fantastic. Beautiful and useful at the same time. Hope you have a small fridge built in so you never have to leave the room.

Great idea, and looks very nice

What the spacing on the upright cabinets, and the angle of the slots?

For me it is a bit odd to see so many synthetics in a fine walnut case (my Dad, age 84, was a die hard walnut cabinet builder). Well executed for sure.

For me it's a bit odd to display anything but the American flag.

I like that short one with the white stock, 16" barrel?

That's a Remington Model 7 xcr in .243 with a McMillan swirly in white, light tan and grey.

Jason - I'll get you the measurements - I have them somewhere. I also own a tape measure if I can't find them.

Joe,
I think that case needs the Big 5 set of M70's that duckster is selling in the classifieds.

Do it. Do it. Do it.

I'm tempted, Scott. Definite eye candy.

You have a problem.

Any favorites out of the bunch?

I often ask myself if I had to sell them all and only keep one rifle, one shotgun and one pistol what would I keep.

And then my head almost explodes and I go back to trying to fill up the 23 empty slots...

stunning!

beautiful setup and i would love it myself. but i gotta ask, is that in a fireproof room or something? i'd be as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs without some sort of fire protection for that many guns. someday i want to make a fireproof gun vault and set it up like that but someday will most likely never come.

Looks very nice Joe.

You have some real eye candy there.
