Sheriff office gun rack

[Russ T Chambers]

Hey folks
I’m lookin’ for a set of plans or pictures of a vertical, wall mount, western style rifle rack.  The kind you always see behind the sheriff’s desk. Any help would be appreciated.  The searches I have done have come up a little short on the old west wooden racks.

I know the local gun dealer has one. I'll ask him about it.

You'll recall that on High Chaparral, and Bonanza, there were similar gun racks, the one on Bonanza was built into the wall just as you went up the stairs.  High Chaparrals was toward the door as you walked out.  BIG VALLEY however, had a Gun Room, where the pool Table was, and had rifles and pistols both along the wall. 

I blame these shows for my current affliction of needing enough guns to fill a GUN ROOM..

Thanks Slim

I found that site, but it won't expand the pictures for a better view.  I just need some ideas, as I'm planning on building one for my eclectic (combination aircraft/cowboy) den. 
I guess I watched Sky King too much when I was a kid.

The following is what the local gun dealer had to say.
"My brother made the 2 in the shop.  Special crackel paint and all.  I will try to empty one and take a picture of it and eMail it to you."

[Silver Creek Slim]

Thanks, SGT John Chapman.

Thanks, SGT John Chapman.
That's kinda what I'm looking for.  I am wantung something a little more decorative, as this will be in my den.  I may just get creative on the siides and top of yours.

[SGT John Chapman]

This isn't mine, I just found it on the net.
When I do mine i'll do as you are,....I want mine more decorative too and with drawers below not just a hole.......

I did this one for my pistols,.......the kid needed clothes though so I sold it,...........



She's geetin mean like her Momma,...........

I like the pistol rack....Hope you don't mind me stealing the ideal........  Russ T., I made one for my "cave" it's just pine and didn't put any plywood on for a back.   I use it so when I come in from a match I can line the guns  up there for service or cleaning.  It's real handy.  However like my gunsafe it runs out of room fast.   I wish I had a room I big enough to call a gun room, I might even hang a saddle or two in it.

By all Means,.......stael away,.....just leave the rug rat,......wife might get owlly,.....

[Russ T Chambers]

I think I have a layout I’m going to try.  I’ll post a picture when I get it done.

Russ T.  I would like to see what you come up with also.

Probably the finished rack.  I tend to do the layout in my head and mark it straight to the wood.
Drives my wife up a wall when I say I'm building something, and she asks where the plans are, and I just point to my head.

This is the desk in the eclectic den.  Built it without plans, and almost made it too big to get into the house.





I’ll try and get pictures as I layout the design on the wood.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I was just looking at the ones in Rio Bravo and El Dorado. The Rio Bravo one is pretty much like Wild Mike's design. The El Dorado is similar but the tops of the side boards (E) are not rounded.
