My new creepy windowless house has a custom built gun room. I'll be finishing it myself. I'm soliciting suggestions for what to use to hang the guns on the walls. It's black fire resistant drywall walls. Should I use 1/4" pegboard mounted on standoff spacers for modularity, or what? Pics of examples would be cool. It's a serious question, but good old GD "It's a dickfer" type farcical humor will be tolerated and lulzed.

I don't know what kind of budget you're thinking about, but I have a couple walls with gallow tech panels and like the products a lot.

If anyone gets into the room, all bets are off, practically. Any kind of locker or cabinet is much less of an impediment than just getting inside at all.
And now they're inside, out of sight. They'll have time. |

Those look cool, but I was thinking less secure; the room itself is just a step under a safe. It has a steel studded frame and an outward opening steel, exterior (1¾") thick, w/ deadbolt door and no windows. So I'm looking for ideas to hang long guns on the wall. Does anyone make peghooks specifically designed for rifles? That sort of thing. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Wait.
You have a black, windowless room in your house? Does it have a door that only locks from outside and a drain in the floor? |

I used peg board in mine. With hooks from the hardware store. It works well. Those hung on the wall, well, are guns that I won't shoot very often, and they are out of reach. Just be careful as the metal hooks can scratch the wood stocks.

How about some military armory style rack/cabinets? They offer some security, and some visibility so you can admire your collection some.
They'd offer an extra couple minutes security after your alarm goes off so the boys in blue can hopefully make it in time. If I was you I'd want to harden that room up some if you're not going to use some other form of security inside. |

I found a Blockbuster type video store going out of business and got about 20 4'X8' sheets of "Slantboard" .for free. I did the whole inside of my gun room and part of my garage with it. Ordered all the baskets and pegs from a online supply story and it turned out great

Chemically, it converts the surface of cellulosic materials to the same compound that's in A B C extinguishers. Which is dibasic ammonium sulfate. Heat the surface and it turns into dry chemical extinguisher.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have a proprietary formula based on a solution of ammonium phosphate, dibasic, and a bit of ammonium hydroxide, titrated to neutral with sulfamic acid, and buffered with a wee dab of boric acid. I developed it twenty years ago when I worked for Chemco, from a Forest Service retardant. It's non toxic, odorless, paintable, and virtually invisible on wood. When treated surfaces are heated to ignition, they will not burn, but develop a thick layer of insulating char and will not sustain combustion after the ignition source is removed. You can dip half a sheet of paper in it, let it dry, and it looks exactly the same except a bit of moisture effects, light it on fire and it burns right up to the dip line and then just....stops.

A good friend of mine is a dealer for Peglock and does hydro-dipping on the panels as well.
As far as the installation goes, I've never done a room with it but he says it's great stuff. Feel free to PM or email me if you'd like his contact info. |

It looked pretty slick. I think they look a lot better than pegboard. ETA: If you use these top to bottom, it looks too much like a pawn shop. This was more the manner in which my friend hung his:  Attached File |

15 days. I am taking bets with myself on the odds of an emergency lease extension at the last minute. My favorite quote from my teleconference:
"Is it going to be ready in two weeks?" "Oh Sure, no problem. The painters should be done today. At least ready enough you can move, and stuff." 
Let me just call time out here. The fuck is your precise definition of "ready enough to move"? Because that's kind of important. The facking painters started ten days ago. But you are claiming you can do the floors, the countertops, all the plumbing fixtures, the appliances, the HVAC, in the next 14? I'm going to be camped out like a squatter in Detroit...
I'm calling geico tomorrow. We have to do another month. I can't function in a campout situation. I work 60 hours a week and shit. Contractors can't come and be all up in my shit while I'm not home or trying to sleep. That's absolutely out of the question. The dogs will eat them, if nothing else. |
