That slat wall looks like the way to go nowadays. I used pegboard myself, many years ago. I used 1x 2 inch boards behind the pegboard, spaced every 2 ft. to sturdy it up. Painted the pegboard before installing. Works just fine for me. I also attached screw in eyebolts into some of the wall studs behind the whole set up so you can attach cable locks to some of the firearms..... if you choose. Works great with the older AR's with nondetachable carry handles.
 Won't stop a determined thief but may slow them down if they did not bring the proper tools to the job?

Alright, here is the deal. DON'T.
I had a gunwall for the past couple of years. The room that they are located in is practically a SAFE. Steel backed drywall, fireproof door, barred up window, two separate alarm systems, and two separate cameras (dvr/one taht goes directly to my phone). I live in an upper middle class neighborhood where literally every single neighbor is home and they are either retired or only one working person. A picture was taken by my friend, and it "went viral" (not everywhere, but it hit close enough). I no longer have a gun wall. I am back to an empty slatwall and looking for old beat up rifles to put on this wall, and even then, I will still remove all of the bolts and put them in one of my safes. Yes, it looks great. But it sure as shit isn't worth worrying about. |

Slatwall is the way to go. I just finished a gunwall project myself. I turned a secured walk-in closet off of my manroom into a gun room. I picked up a piece of 4x8 slatwall up at Home Depot for ~$50 and screwed it directly to the studs in the wall using 2.5in screws. I upgraded the lighting in the closet using clearance track lighting from Lowes that ran me $20. One thing to remember: pegboard hooks don't always work in slatwall and you have to make sure your hooks are up to the challenge of holding guns. If you skimp on the hooks you may be awakened in the middle of the night by your wife shaking you telling you to go check out a noise that turns out to be a Glock that fell when a hook broke. I still have to put up the crown molding in the room, but it has come a long way since I started.

I will use these until I find better ones. |

I also attached screw in eyebolts into some of the wall studs behind the whole set up so you can attach cable locks to some of the firearms..... if you choose. Works great with the older AR's with nondetachable carry handles.

Any security issue aside, those walls look awesome.

I think it gives more of an armory look Like this: http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt251/yukonboy03/IMG_20110407_164336_zpsefbe1bbd.jpg compared to this: http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt251/yukonboy03/IMG_20110212_124108_zps1bc465f8.jpg I agree. The vertical rifles look all business, whereas the horizontal ones look like a store or museum display. They both look good, just depends which way you want to go with it. eta: my room is rather narrow, so I'm probably going to mount them horizontal, due to space concerns. :-( Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile works well if you have a similar series/style of long guns. ie AR/AK magwells all lined up |

If you are going to use metal hooks and or pegs to hang your guns, put heat shrink tubing on them to prevent dinging up the finish on your guns.

Alright, here is the deal. DON'T. I had a gunwall for the past couple of years. The room that they are located in is practically a SAFE. Steel backed drywall, fireproof door, barred up window, two separate alarm systems, and two separate cameras (dvr/one taht goes directly to my phone). I live in an upper middle class neighborhood where literally every single neighbor is home and they are either retired or only one working person. A picture was taken by my friend, and it "went viral" (not everywhere, but it hit close enough). http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1418894_Serious_Breach_of_PERSEC_How_to_Overcome.html&page=1&anc=bottom#bottom I no longer have a gun wall. I am back to an empty slatwall and looking for old beat up rifles to put on this wall, and even then, I will still remove all of the bolts and put them in one of my safes. Yes, it looks great. But it sure as shit isn't worth worrying about. Uh huh.......sure you don't I currently don't. I will again, but I want to buy a bunch of cheap functional rifles for it. This is an old picture, but at least it shows the slat wall if the OP wants to do something with non-functional rifles. (I even considered air soft up there) http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp333/svh19044/IMG_1068-1_zpsba0a590f.jpg This but go air soft. |

I got paid to clean out a old video rental store. Everything was slantwall. I removed more than 40 4X8 sheets and saved about 8 of the best pieces. When my Gun vault was finished I lined the walls with it. Got the hooks and baskets from a retail display supply store online. The stuff is strong! This is really the only pic I got.
