Musket/Pistol Rack for Barracks and Home

[DrinkingBear]

Hello, all! Haven't really posted here in s long while and now getting back into the hobby after a very long absence from it. I thought it would be nice to share a finished project I made - a barracks rack for muskets. I wanted something very "frontier-made" by a craftsman/soldier at an outpost. Machined down square bolts and washers, etc.:

That is fantastic! Impressive collection and I'm even more impressed you get to display that in your living room!

Well done, Welcome back.

Very cool !

Wow. that is an impressive collection. The gunshop I worked in had a chain to run thru the trigger guards and it soon left marks on the actions and trigger guard. The boss had us stop using it,
Be careful with it.

I like the old look and how the rifles show off their tops instead of their trigger guards. Not big on chains in trigger guards either, prefer a locked door to the room myself.

Very nice, now where is the militia call out.

Thank you for the kind comments. I'd like to do another one someday. I'm pretty careful with the chain. I run it through quite slowly, But I really never remove them from the rack. If the threat of hostilities occur, I'll remove the chain from them and just keep them ready to go!

I had the experience one year on a tour of the governors mansion in Williamsburg to actually handle a documented bess that was used in the revolution. Then we toured the armory and got to handle one of Wallace Gunther's first guns he made at Williamsburg. I guess the Angles were on my side that day. Both tour guides were excellent in their presentations. I felt like a giddy headed school girl, all the wife could say they are just guns are they not.

The talent that is displayed in THIS forum never ceases to amaze me.
The rack is just beautiful! The guns look even more awesome in it!

It is a work of art. And with the rifles in it it is a working work of art.

Fun store i frequent uses a cable thru the trigger guard. Cable is clear plastic coated to avoid scratches. Hooked ito lag bolts in the wall.
