Yet another gun rack!

[MT Tatman]

I made another gun rack this weekend. Made for the "Big outings" to the range or to the mountains with friends. Holds 11 long guns. They are held down with velcro straps, and the best idea I can come up with for security is some sort of cable lock through the trigger guards? Any other feasible ideas for a locking mechanism?

How do you secure the 12 pack of PBR?

I'm imagining getting pulled over for a rolling stop sign, and having the cop see THAT!

Cool setup. Cable lock sounds good to me.

I usually secure the beer in my belly!!Without driving drunk, of course, but work time is PBR time for sure, and the cans will come in handy as targets on an outing into the woods!
I am very curious about how the police would react, but it is real laid back here in Montana as far as carrying firearms goes. Only ones who tend to be uptight are the City police. Sheriffs Dept. and Highway patrol are pretty cool Cats.

Damn son, nice rack!! :thumb3: Is that an AK-47 on the far left?

 

[cometobanks]

drill a lateral hole through all the V parts. and stick a steel rod through over the guns with a pad lock on both ends.

Far left is a Saiga AK in .308 cal, followed by 2 Saiga AK's in 7.62x39. I also have a Saiga AK platform 12ga shottie not shown here.
I like the idea of the steel rod, but alas, my shotguns are to tall and extend up beyond the bars. I wanted to do that through the trigger guards, but some triggers rest in front of the square tube and some behind it. I really do want to do something more reliable than a cable lock so I don't have to worry about someone with good snippers!

i know whos house i am going to be there a zombie attack...

Thats sick. :wow:

 

[apache2831]

if you do two lateral bars that go over top you could secure them nicely, single pad lock, kinda like the gun racks used in the military. I really like that design and as an avid hunter and shooter would you be willing to shoot me over a blue print of the design?

Mt,

Nice rack. I was out your way a couple of years back. We were hunting Sharptails and Huns over around Poplar. Beautiful state you live in.

Shoot straight and shoot often.:uzi:

remind me not to f*ck with you hahah
getting shot..... NOOOOO :thanks:

and maybe some felt or sort of thick soft cloth so they don't get scratched in the cradle?

 

[MT Tatman]

The cradles are wrapped with Friction tape, the stuff you use on an axe handle or Hockey stick, or a wooden baseball bat. Works great and is just sticky enough to prevent forward-rearward movement.

i play hockey, so i have tons of it. i use it on everything. excellent tape.

have you heard of people using skateboard tape, grip tape, on the handle?

 

[MT Tatman]

You mean the Really gritty stuff? wouldn't that chew up your hockey gloves??

 

[Trevloc]

haha i meant on the grip of the gun for the gritty stuff.

 

[MT Tatman]

Ah, I see. Actually, no, but I have used leather to wrap the steel folding stock on the Saiga .308. The steel can get really hot in summer and really cold in winter, not very Cheek friendly!

So if someone's tailgating you, you just roll the rear window down...
