I got my first AR a couple of months ago and I had a buddy build the gun chest for about $350 out of 3/4 inch Oak. The drawers are made of birch to save a little weight. I haven't finished stainng the inside and finished touching up the felt on the inside yet. Future plans also include a large flat panel TV to sit on top of the chest. I like it quite a bit. Opinions?

Sorry to pop your bubble man. While he has 6 guns and a nice cabinet I am afraid that 6 doesnt begin to count as "As many" for a lot of people! I have 20 some odd rifles just sitting in my closet because I dont want to haul a safe across the country with me when I move! Someday you too will have more guns than you can use!

Other than that, way to go! You could easily make them and sell the shit outta them!!!

I think the guy is jealous and trying to be inflamatory..Probably has a Raven .25 and 19 airsofts.  That chest rocks. My 2 cents.

And they are just sitting in your closet? I hope for everyone's sake that no one breaks into your place and opens your closet.........I spent 10 years taking reports from guys who never thought it could happen to them. And obviously if you have enough money to have 20+ nice rifles, then you have the money for a safe.......and having moved mine all over So Cal and then up to Seattle, it just isn't that big of a deal.......
| I've got a dehumidifier going in the summer and I plan on putting a few gell packs in it. In SD We only have to worry about humidity just a few months of the year. Winter is usually pretty dry. I almost went with some other stuff from my brother who works in the plastics division of Raven Industries. They have a similar matt like material that is made of plastic but feels almost like wax fiberous paper. Only I didn't care for the thickness that would prove difficult to work with. (too stiff) |
Actually I was not trying to be inflamatory at all, I was not even speaking to the OP. I said it was a nice chest and it is. My closet, while not the best option is the only feasible one at the moment. I will literally be driving to FL in october and I do not wish to try to lug a 1k pound safe down there with my jeep wrangler. My house is well secured and reinforced. It is not burglar proof but then nothing really is. This situation will be remedied when I get to where I am going. As for the .25 raven and 19 airsoft I am not gonna dignify it with an answer unless you really want a pic, I can dig out the digital camera. Or Rott since you live in Seattle now you can just come by. We are going shooting on the 4th if you want to come along! |
