You owe it to yourself (and to those of us who have done so) to read it cover to cover (each volume of course) as well as those Parker books that came before it.

It is a long, but fascinating, read and it will be very fulfilling to have done so.

If I were having one built I would specify that at least two of the shelves with cutouts for the butts be canted up at the front edge by 3 - 5 degrees to allow for of the guns' pitch.

Dean I made my base with an 8 degree rise over 10 inches. No guns rest heavy on the toe of the butt plate and all still fall to the barrel support. Base has one inch high-density foam covered with fake leather and each spot on the visible base has a cutout for the butt. Worked for me. A cabinet would be nice for books and of course Parker Pages. Maybe next time. Cheers Jack

Default Gun Racks Complete

Back in May within this post Bill Murphy made us aware of a gent building gun racks. I will not elaborate on that as you can scroll back and read it and obtain contact info if you desire. I indicated that I had ordered a set to fill an 8' section of wall in my gun room. The original plan was for the supplier (Ted) to deliver them some time this week. Imagine my surprise when they were delivered some 2 weeks or more early. Ted said he had a big job come in and wanted to be sure he got these out in time. That rarely happens these days.
They were everything I expected. The fit and work was just perfect including the assembly instructions, actually easy to assemble. I applied a coat of stain and 3 coats of tung oil. All the barrel notches in the top rail are wide notches for SxS guns but Ted will build them any way you like. The pics are just cell phone pics but they will get the idea across.

Thats a nice rack. I had a gun cabinet at one time, but we got rid of it and got a gun safe when the 1st kid was born. Our current house has a built in Safe in a locked cabinet. It does the job, but while secure, it doesn't exactly allow for display...
