Parker Display
 
For the last couple years I have been considering building a gun room to display my favorite doubles. However, the cost and the thought of wanting them near me where the family spends time made me consider creating a replica antique case for display. This is what I came up with. I did not build the case, I commissioned it with a builder. How do you display yours?

Dean,
That is a beautiful gun cabinet, display and room. I have always been fearful of displaying my collection for fear of the bad guys coming for them.

Nice display Dean - very well done indeed! Where’s that ‘green with envy’ emiji...??

Mine are not on display but are locked away in the nether regions of my subterranian gun room... for the same reason Bob said.

From what I see I think Dean has thought this through .

Very nice Dean, beautiful mounts and bar as well. I like that wood work on the bar a lot. Mine are displayed currently in the gun room, locked but not fireproof, very adequately insured. Currently making plans to build which will include a walk in vault.

Wow fabulous!

Some of my considerations. My safes are in a room under the garage, so concrete on 5 sides. Considered making that a gun room but felt the expense was not something you could recover in home value. The house is alarmed with glass breaks in most rooms. The case has “smash proof glass”. Case would break first. Plus the door is alarmed and connected to the house system. Then, my wife’s Velociraptor would eat the first one in. Obviously, when we go away, the guns go in the safe. Insurance also gives state of mind as well.

That's the creme de La Creme Dean! Wish I could display mine the same way. Much easier to look, admire and play with them then. Growing up dad and grandpa had the glass door gun case for 7 or 8 guns. I'd be happy with even that, but like Bob said, too many bad guys coming for them. Like most, I'm keeping mine behind a heavy steel door. It's a very nice collection with great presentation! Thanks for sharing Dean.

Are you sure it is large enough?? Great-looking case!!

Speechless. And congrats on a wonderful thought out space. I live somewhat remote and am afraid of the bad guys too. If I'm home they won't get out in one piece let alone alive but when we're not here there's nothing a good thief can't get, alarm system and all.
