I am hoping that some of you guys out there can help with pictures of gun displays. I have a rather large collection of Western Arms pistols (90+) and would like to have a nice display in my shop so people can see them when they come in to pickup guns that I am building or repairing for them. Ideally it would be semi secure with at least plexiglass or glass doors. I have been trying to come up with something but nothing hit home so far. So if you have a cool display or have a good picture please post it for all to see.
Thanks,
Gunner
Why not just use a regular retail display case? You could use it as a counter for dealing with your customers, and display your wares at the same time. Any shop I've ever been in, including mine, does that.
I really want a wall mount display, It need all of the floorspace I can get. My shop area is only 24'x 36' and it it sharing space with four work stations a cnc mill, lathe and three Harley Davidson Motorcycles!!!!

Also a shooting range for AAPS matches!!!!
how about one of those black wire shelf wall things
or a white peg board and just use some wall hooks, then you can hang each pistol or something like that
for your "top shelf" pistols, and im sure you have some that you love more than others... you can make a top shelf (i know, my noodles really goin now!!) on that wall and put em on that in some nice display stands.... you could paint the board or something to make it look nice and more creative
what would be hella cool would be to get a small lcd, anywhere from 15-24 inches and wall mount it somewhere, or get a couple of them... im sure youve got a decent camera layin around somewhere... take some pics, touch em up w/ photoshop to make em look all pretty like, then you can even display all the pictures of your guns...
machinery, harleys, guns, and technology.... definitely an awesome man cave...
.... so, it mightve helped if i had read your original post... wouldve noticed that you wanted something secure...
eh, i cant think of any thing secure that would could wall mount.... atleast not right now.
Apache,
Good thought on the LCD, I think I might add one smaller one in a corner to play some AAPS videos and such to demonstrate how airsoft has evolved from just a toy into something much more.
Thanks,
Gunner
glad i could help... lol
i fully expect pictures and all that jazz when you finish this project....
Gunner are you any good with wood working type projects?
You could make some shelves with Mag inserts attached like one giant one of these pistols stands

Are you a gun smith? If so, awesome. I work at a gun smith shop/gun store. (Mainly smithing)
Bronco,
Yes I am a gunsmith, went to school at Lassen College's Gunsmithing program many years ago. I have been a gunsmith for about half of my 41 years. I used to be part owner in two gun shops but sold them about ten years ago to be a full time Probation officer and part time smith.
Now with the economy in the shitter and my whole unit being laid off I am back to working for myself again. I am actually feeling good about it now. Custom Airsoft guns and repairs are almost 25% of my business these days.
