Title: So where do you keep / display / put your guns when you're not shooting them?
Post by: Davio on October 22, 2012, 08:30:36 AM
I've only got four air guns (three pistols and one carbine).  I want them handy, but not just lying around here and there. I don't want them on the wall in a display box behind glass, either.

I made a somewhat standard single rifle rack for the 2400KT, but when the shroud and scope and tank are on it there is no way it can be up there unless it is upside down. 

Same thing goes for the pistols, except I think they do look good hanging by their trigger.

So where do all you guys put your air pistols and rifles?

on the wall, or in the locking side cabinets, mostly pistols in side cabinets.

I curved all the guns so they would hang on that wal and so I can shoot around corners  ;D

No kidding.

Hate to break it to the young guys but fish-eye lenses have been around since the early 1900's.   I can still remember when they were introduced.   ;)

Horizontal lines are curved, but vertical  lines are straight.
Not a fish eye.   Widelux maybe?

Or a couple minutes in Photoshop with the Perspective tool.

Ok everybody ,
Nothing fancy used in that photo.
Just the panorama function in my iPhone 4S. Works pretty well actually. :)

What's funny about you old guys is your blatant disregard for google.

No, fisheye lenses are not new. Duh.
But everything looks cooler through a fisheye lense.

And when you're ready to hang the drywall just get 3/8" and soak it in water.  It'll wrap those curves no problem.   I used to rock circular staircases back in the late 1800's. ;)

I obviously don't have any children... this is about 6" from the back door, open door, shelf above the drier has about 3000 pellets in open tins for easy access (a good assortment of both .177 and .22), creek bed and other wet dirt make a good backstop... Also on the shelf behind the pellets lies the pistols...

You're still a young'un.  ;) I have older relatives that were BORN with real fisheye lenses.  I remember what dinosaur crap looked like on Grandma's tennis shoes.  ;D

Seriously, the young Turks crack me up sometimes.  I have built nearly every PC I have ever owned including the two at my house now and one of the two at my business.

The only disregard I have is of timekeeping and I like it.  ;)

Whew, for a second there I thought I had to stop drinking. I thought it was a real curved wall.
