Built-in Gun Rack This rack design will hold a large number of long guns in a very small space. The brackets are available with three to seven notches 2" or 2.5" wide. The 2" notches work well for most firearms but the 2.5" notches are available for side by side shotguns and rifles with large handguards such as AR15s. Spacing is 3" or 3.5" on center. The 3" spacing works well for military bolt actions with straight bolts open, lever actions, shotguns and other narrow firearms. The 3.5" spacing is more suitable for closed straight bolts and firearms with fixed charging handles. The rear leg of the bracket is available in 7" and 8" lengths. The 7" length is adequate spacing for most firearms, but the 8" length is better for scoped guns. The first bracket typically needs to be spaced 1" off the end wall to allow room for open bolt handles.

Vertical Wall Rack The original vertical wall rack is designed for compact storage of military bolt action rifles with or without a variety of different style bottom support shelves. The bottom of the firearms face away from the wall and large scopes will not fit in the rack. The standard notches are 2" wide spaced 3" on center. The back of the notch in the upper bracket is 2 1/2" off the wall and the heel rest on the lower shelf is 5 1/4" off the wall. This creates an offset of 2 3/4"and allows an open straight bolt handle to clear the wall. The butt tray is 5" deep which works for most military bolt action rifles and commercial firearms with shorter buttplates.

Oversized Vertical Wall Rack The oversized vertical wall rack has the same basic dimensions as the original vertical wall rack with the exception of the butt tray which is 5 1/2" deep to allow for longer commercial buttplates. This increases the total depth of the lower support units to 11 1/2". As with the original vertical rack, the bottom of the firearms face away from the wall and large scopes will not fit in the rack. The standard notches are 2" wide spaced 3" on center. The back of the notch in the upper bracket is 2 1/2" off the wall and the heel rest on the lower shelf is 5 1/4" off the wall. This creates an offset of 2 3/4"and allows an open straight bolt handle to clear the wall.

Deep Vertical Wall Rack The deep vertical wall rack has the 5 1/2" deep butt tray to allow for longer commercial buttplates and is also 1 1/2" deeper behind the upper notch and lower butt rest to allow for scoped rifles. This increases the total depth of the lower support units to 13". As with the original vertical rack, the bottom of the firearms face away from the wall. The standard notches are 2" wide spaced 3" on center. The back of the notch in the upper bracket is 4" off the wall and the heel rest on the lower shelf is 6 3/4" off the wall. This creates an offset of 2 3/4"and allows a scope to clear the wall.

Reverse Vertical Wall Rack The reverse vertical wall rack holds firearms with the top facing away from the wall. The top bracket is made 6 1/2" deep and the backs of the notches are 5" off the wall. The bottom shelf has a 1/2" thick by 1 1/4" wide shim placed at the front instead of the butt rest at the rear. This elevates the heels enough to lean the rifles towards the wall. With the standard spacing of 30" between the top bracket and bottom shelf the cleaning rod of a 52" riflewill remain approximately 1 1/2" away from the wall. The knobs of open straight bolts are approximately 12" away from the wall. In this configuration all the weight of the rifles is on the extreme forward edge of the bottom shelf and a secure attachment to the wall is imperative. As seen in the picture, storing rifles in this rack with the slings in place is slightly awkward. One advantage to this design is that it will hold scoped rifles without any clearance issues since the scope is away from the wall.

Compact Rotary Rack This compact configuration has barrel notches 2.5" on center and a 1" offset from the back of the barrel notches to the back of the 5" butt slots. The top "star" is 9" smaller in diameter than the base and the barrel notches are 1 1/2" wide and 2" deep. This is suitable for most military bolt action rifles (straight bolts open) but is not spacious enough for commercial firearms with longer buttplates or firearms with fixed charging handles or scopes. The advantage is the smaller diameter of the rack which requires less space and is less expensive to purchase and ship. The disadvantage is the firearms tend to tip out when the rack is rotated and small bungee cords or straps (not included) are useful to prevent accidents. The bottom of the rack is two layers of 3/4" plywood with the butt slots cut through the top layer so the buttplates rest on the bottom layer. The base is 3/4" plywood with a 12" diameter ball bearing swivel rated for 1,000 pounds. The post is a 3/4" x 30" galvanized pipe with flanges on each end. The rack ships disassembled and is reassembled by threading the bottom and top onto the pipe by hand. No tools are required which is convenient for temporary displays at gun shows.

Compact Open Toe Rotary Rack This style rack has the same basic dimensions as the compact rack above with the barrel notches 2.5" on center and a 1" offset from the back of the barrel notches to the back of the butt slots. The difference is the butt slots are a 4" deep open toe design and the base is 3" smaller in diameter. Because the toe of the stocks will extend beyond the edge of the rack a minimum of 1.5" must be allowed on all sides for the rack to rotate freely. The top "star" is 6"

smaller in diameter than the base and the barrel notches are 1 1/2" wide and 2" deep. This is suitable for most military bolt action rifles (straight bolts open) but is not spacious enough for firearms with fixed charging handles or scopes. The advantage of this design is the lower price and shipping costs. The empty rack also takes up less space in storage and transportation if it is used for tempory displays.

Standard Rotary Rack This configuration has barrel notches 3" on center and a 2" offset from the back of the barrel notches to the back of the 5.5" butt slots. The top "star" is 12" smaller in diameter than the base and the barrel notches are 1 1/2" wide and 2" deep. This is suitable for most military bolt action rifles (straight bolts open) and commercial firearms with longer buttplates and small scopes. Firearms with fixed charging handles or large scopes may not fit. While this racks allows the firearms to lean back further, small bungee cords or straps (not included) are recommended to prevent accidents when rotating the rack.

Stacked Table/Floor Rack This rack is based on a Finnish armory rack and holds multiple tiers of 8 rifles each in a space 28 1/2" wide with 3" notch spacing. The length depends on the length of the rifles in the rack. Each supporting board has eight 2" wide by 1" deep notches with an extra 3 1/2" in the center to accommodate the supporting frame. The bottom cross pieces provide the lateral support. The rack is built with removable horizontal braces so that it can be broken down and stored or transported. The rack is very sturdy and can be loaded unevenly, although this is not recommended, especially with taller racks. The cross pieces are spaced 8" from bottom of notch to bottom of notch vertically. It is possible to remove the rifles from the end of the rack, but it is much easier from the side.

Single Rifle Display Stand This is a handy pair of rifle stands for displaying a single rifle on a mantle or at a gun show.

able Top Rack This simple rack is handy to have in the gun room when accessing firearms from permanent racks or safes. Wider versions are also useful for displaying at a gun show. The end pieces are 5" and 6 1/4" tall. The notches are a 2" wide half circle. The 1" notch depth puts the bottom of the notches 4" and 5 1/4" above the supporting surface. This elevates the toe of the stock of most firearms approximately 1" off the surface. Each end board has a 3/4" wide x 1 1/2" tall slot in the bottom center that mates with one of two 3/4" wide by 1" deep slots spaced 20" apart in the crosspiece. The pieces fit together without hardware and disassemble for easy storage and transportation. Note that firearms with pistol grips do not work well with these dimensions.

Staggered Table Rack This portable rack makes a nice display at gun shows or in the gun room. The notches are spaced 2 3/4" on center, or 3/4" apart. The end panels are cut from plywood. The vertical spacing on the notches is 3". The center support is a 20" long piece of round wooden dowel rod. Each end of the rod is fitted with a hanger bolt (a bolt with wood screws on one end and machine screws on the other). The wood screws are threaded into the rod and the machine

screws are placed through a hole in the end panels and secured with a washer and wing nut. The end panels on this rack can be switched to present either side of the rifles.

Staggered/Sloped Table Rack This version is the same as above, but the end panels are different lengths to cause the rifles to slope. The end panels on this rack can be switched to present either side of the rifles.

The holes are

offset on each side of the rack to allow barrels of long guns to bypass each other. A slotted hole is cut in the top boards to provide a carrying handle and there are draw catches on each end to keep the rack closed during transport.

Upright Handgun Rack This compact portable rack design will hold pistols and revolvers in the safe or at the gun show. The HR model as shown in the pictures and drawings has a 1" wide barrel notch which works well with revolvers and narrow automatics like M1911s and Tokarevs. The HRW model has a 1 1/4" wide barrel notch which is more suitable for Glocks and similar automatics.
