I like the grain/ texture of the back boards. It has a lot of character.

Display is great but you are inviting someone to know what you have and they can easily rip you off, This has happen to many.
It is a very good display but instead of displaying my stuff I bought another safe. To each his own.

Rip me off how?Display is great but you are inviting someone to know what you have and they can easily rip you off, This has happen to many.
Well, as long as you don't invite strangers into the house and the display isn't visible from outside the house, your probably safe.
On the other hand if either of these things happen you are inviting unwanted people to steal your guns.
I had a bunch of pistols hanging on the wall in my family room. It was visable from outside the house.
Someone broke into my house ans stole every revolver there except for the Walker and the 3rd Model Dragoon. He used one of my old backpacks to tote them in and the two guns shown at the lower right corner fell out as he was leaving.
I reported this to the police giving them the serial numbers of each gun but in 5 years since it happened, only one of the guns showed up at a pawn shop. I got that one back but the rest are still gone.

Yes, theft is always possible if too much word gets around. Fine display, though.

Sorry to hear about that Zonie, I do have a security system which should deter to a point. You definitely can't see them where they are though from outside of the location.
That's been heavy on my mind as well. Several months ago my neice rearranged our living room and now the gun cabinet faces the windows on the front door. I've been lucky so far but it's bound to run out someday.
Love it, but saw it first on little photo on my phone. The hat wasn’t real clear ind my fist thought was why does he have a ladies thong next to his guns?
