Extra Barrel Storage

[Papa Jack]

I decided to do something about my extra Barrel storage, rather than have them laying on a shelf ,on top one another in my gun cabinet....
I used an idea from someone on this Forum, so it's probably not new to some of you, I posted a thread some time ago looking for others ideas.
Materials used:
3 each 3/8" Electrical clamps
1ea 3/8" dia X 36" long solid steel round rod
3 each 1/8" thick X 1/2" wide steel spacers the size of the clamps to space the rod away from the surface of the cabinet door.
Screws,washers,nuts.
Some foam weather stripping to rest the muzzles on.
I took some pictures but they wouldn't load, I guess they are too big ,over 2 MB, so here is a link to my photo bucket, hopefully you can view the photos there... "PJ"

Good looking rack! Jack!

Looks nice! It seems like they simply hang there, do they ever fall off when moving the door?

I like it a lot !!!

I think I will add one to my gun cabinet, the only change I am considering for mine would be to cold blue the rod, a little black paint for the hardware, and wiggle board finished like a stock for the muzzles.

I was thinking the same. I bet an elastic bungee of some sort could be affixed across them all to keep them on the bar. That's if it is really even needed...


Thanks, Dinny

 That Door is 4X6X 1/8" steel.... I was afraid some one would slam the door shut someday and I would have scopes flying everywhere !
So far they sit very well on that rod and don't move much at all. The Rod is spaced 1/8" away from the door, so thats about perfect for the bottom of the "Lug" to fit down flush with the radius on the rod. Pretty stable. That lug has full contact with the door.    "PJ"

I thought about taking a piece of wood and drilling holes for the barrels ends to stick thru and bolting that to the door incase they did decide to fall off....The wood would catch the barrels. But with the weight of the barrels I found this to be pretty stable with out it....    "PJ"
