Default RE: Wall Gun Rack

rebel hog found some for you! it is actually supposedly BETTER to store them like that then to stand them up. my shop teacher in HS was also a gun lover like myself. we talked alot. i wanted to build a big solid oak cabinet, but he knew i had alot of guns and got some old ones and some that arent worth ruining. he said over TIME....lots and LOTS of time..the oil and solvents etc will run down and soak into the stock. he said thats why alot of gun stocks break at the wrist of the stock and thats why old guns often look kinda crappy in the wood department. but he could be full of it. im sure it would take A LONNNNG time..but think about it......kinda seems plausible......i like the look of guns hanging on the wall. i just cant do it because theres to many people passing through the house. when i get my custom flinter its getting hung on the wall when im not using it. but theres noone around that will figure out how to load it and where i have my powder. but a CF or something i dont wanna have up there and have a little cousin..sister..girlfriend etc act like they are playin "cop" or something and have something happen so they all stay hidden and locked up till i dont have to worry about that
