Anyone know of a good product to hold long arms horizontally on a wall

A $45 wall rack from Walmart or regular pegboard is the most cost effective but I was thinking of spending a little bit more and maybe getting rubber maid fast track track panels…or even steel pegboards or aluminum slat  panels

Just for hold 4-5 rifles at time, above a work table,
When I’m tinkering on stuff….cleaning, oiling, etc.  When pau, firearms get put away

I’m thinking the rubber maid panels will be good enough…but if steel or aluminum isn’t too much more I may get that.

I was browsing the gun pegboard site earlier today.  Will swing by Lowes and Home Depot to see if they have something nice

There are some nice DIY versions depending on how much time you want to put into it -- but you save a ton of money.

Here is a very minimal design.



It's not a quick video, so i jumped to the end to see what the final result looked like.

Thanks Flapp!  That looks pretty nice and practical.  I made something similar for a vertical surfboard rack.   Maybe I’ll repurpose the surfboard rack and hold the rifles vertical instead of doing horizontal

I have some extra adjustable shelving stuff and could go that route too….just put foam on the arms/brackets.  So instead putting shelves on the arms/brackets, just put the rifles on across them.

Nifty idea. I would def make the two vertical woods closer. I wouldn't want to rest on the barrel for too long. Wood absorbs oil so your bluing may be uncoated after a long period. Wouldn't worry bout nitride or cerakoted tho.

Amazon sells these hangers that you just drill into your support beam. Think I got 6 for 15 bucks or so. I rarely hang my guns anymore. I made a work station in one of my rooms . The repurposed desk is the cleaning area and another metal table on the other side has a regular vice on 1 end and a drill press vice on the other. Filled 3 crappy mags with jb weld and scrap wood. That became lower receiver blocks. So I can work on 2 ar15s at any given time on the metal table. And one my cleaning station I have one of those 12 dollar vices from amazon and mtm cleaning thingy. I'm weird.

My friend is even funnier. He bolted a metal square pipe to his support beam. Then he got a door hinge that hinges hhorizontally. Drilled holes in the  swinging arm and put Paracord and "S" hooks then he hangs his rifles upside down from the buttstock. When he's done he swings that arm flush against the wall. And he put a magnet there. Seen his rifles hanging against the wall. No pressure on the barrels.

I'm sure you can do a simple 2x2 screwed horizontally on your wall. Make half inch holes every 2 -3 inches apart. Tie Paracord . Use "S" hooks and hang your rifles upside down.

Possibilities are endless.

Aaron - got any pics?

Saw this on Amazon - I think they come in fde, black and grey.   Looks stylish and a little off the beaten path.  I have to read the reviews.  Definitely not as flexible as pegboard but for $40 more than a Walmart fudd gun rack it looks…dare I say it…sexy….

Damn those are nice. Why not get the 62.99? Little bit cheaper. And it's additional 6% off.

As for pics. I don't have any. Not much a photogenic person. Lol

Check out Home Depot or Lowes cloest/shelf section. They have a range of different shelving systems with vertical rails you mount and then insert the horizontal pieces. Very modular and not very expensive. You would want to use some sort of tubing or padding to protect the guns from the supports. Pegboard and mounting pegs are also an inexpensive method that gives you a lot of flexibility. For pegboard you need to mount it off the wall about 1/4" or so to give the pegs room to go in.

This gal is an incredible woodworker and carpenter -- actually an all around DIYer.  i've been following her YT channel for many years, and she always has a couple of good pointers.   

There are plenty of YT videos on making wall cleat systems as well as "advanced" mods for keeping cleats from lifting off the wall.

Compared to cleats, this system uses less material, requires less time and effort, and solves the problem of cleats having to sit off the wall where they may need extra blocks of wood added to keep them vertical.

If I need to install another wall for storage, i think this will be among my first considerations.   

If you have the setup it’s pennies on the dollah

I've avoided getting into 3D printing, mainly because of startup cost.  Cheap printers take more work and time to get decent results, and the better printers are not cheap.  Prices have come down, but I know how i am,  Good enough is never good enough!

I've purchased printed items for woodworking, like a dust collection hood for the miter saw.  I was impressed by the quality, but that guy uses a print farm with high-end printers and filament. 

I also bought a replacement cog wheel for a pencil sharpener for $8.  A new sharpener would have been $80+ for the a comparable replacement sharpener, and a factory replacement part is not available anywhere.

There are people who will print what you need for a fee.  Just send the files, specs and whatnot, and they will charge whatever they think is reasonable.

I've encountered many situations where printing a part would be so much easier and cheaper to do than trying to find and buy the part, but as you said, you need the setup.

Similar concepts to those already mentioned and recommended, but use bike or musical instrument hooks that can be mounted horizontally or you can bend them.

If you're worried about the contact points, you can jerry-rig mounts with aircraft stainless lock wire. Getting them out of loops will be harder than hooks, though.

And don't forget: Rep Kila wants to add you to "a list" and force you to get a background check if you intend buy or possess a printer.

That's a hill worth dying on. If I haven't made back the cost yet then at least I'm closing in on it. It's an incredible tool especially if you own an older car and plastic parts are either hyper expensive or unobtanium. Never mind the incoming tariffs and trade wars.
Also they are indispensable education platforms with free programs like Tinkercad out there. How are we going to make a new generation of engineers if the kids can't buy one because dad as a DUI? Extremely short sighted.
