Looking GREAT!

I don’t know that. I’ll see if I can look that up. It takes 4 AA batteries. But it has a key backup.

Very nice!

I change the batteries on my locks twice a year, needed or not. Much better than finding corrosion on a $80 lock's electronics. Coordinated with my smoke dectector battery change. Easy to remember.

Very good idea

Agreed......

I still have a little work to do. Mainly to build the shelves that the rifles sit on. Right now I have them on the floor. But it’s a start.

Very nice, I like !! :cool: http://www.cotep.org/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

The pistol pegs accept .380 and larger calibers only, nothing smaller from what I've gathered.
Do the pieces that the long guns sit on/into not clip into the wall panels as well ????

They don’t. It surprised me at first. They are designed to sit on the shelves or the floor. I watched one video from the manufacturer and the reason is the shelf can hold more weight than the rifle trays would be able to hold by themselves. They had a 90 pound gun along with several other guns to show this.

Fortunately the shelves are designed to hold six rifles a piece. So it should work fine for me.

Yeah .... I can see those pieces sitting on a shelf would be much stronger than just clipping into the panel itself .... makes sense now.

Somewhere I’ve seen a picture of one of the shelves with three 50 cal ammo cans full of ammo, so the shelves can definitely hold the weight.

Coming along nicely! I had forgotten you had an X95 (I think that’s the designation). Where is the bow going to sit? [emoji12]

Well, have you had a chance to mess around in the 'gun closet' any more?

Everytime I see these pics it makes me want to re-do my gun room. This is such a great system!

super tempted!

I'm thinking the same way!!

I got the main rifle shelf installed. Because of the narrow width of the closet, I can’t put two side by side like I planned. They have a four column shelf, but even that is too wide. I ordered a few single rifle bases so I’ll have some flexibility.

I like the way the pistols turned out but I need more. Since I have more space on the right side of the closet, I ordered right handed posts.

I also like how the top turned out. Lots of spots for miscellaneous stuff.

Once I get the stuff I ordered now, I’ll show the final version.

The panel on the right .... do you have the space to move it towards the door opening the distance of the stock shelf depth, in other words, so that 2 stock shelf corners touch at the bottom corners, that way you can utilize the entire right panel for some additional long guns, etc. if needed.

Yes. I might end up doing that. Also on the left, I purposefully left space to add two large panels if I need them later.

I can see that's one of the BIG advantages to this system, being able to customize it to fit your individual needs. :cool:

Looking good! Moving that panel to the left would definitely give you more hanging space.

This is really awesome! My gun room is 10x8 so I could utilize these and expand for years with this system. Love this. Getting my estimate together so I could see how much to do this.

Well, any engineering changes/mods/upgrades being contemplated/in the works since your last post?

I ordered some individual pieces that I’m waiting on. Once I get those, I’ll probably be done for now.

When you get your latest parts order in and get everything situated as you want post a few pics.
You've now got me engineering a gun room to be in my basement, and, it's all your fault. :D

So if you don’t mind telling what have you got invested so far into your new room?

Here’s cost so far

Original kit $1100
Additions $400
Keypad lock $80
Steel Door $300
Construction work and paint $300

About $2200. But the investment is similar to a quality safe. My townhouse doesn’t have anywhere I could put a similar sized Liberty or other name brand gunsafe.

That’s not bad at all considering how customizable it is.

agree!

I received the extra pieces I ordered. So this is the final form for a while.

I got three of these single rifle shelves. I may move this up the wall for a quicker grab since this is my go to house gun.

The single shelf is adjustable so you move the heels to let the butt sit perfectly in the cradle.

The single display pistol posts come in left and right. Since I had a lot of extra space on the right side I got a few display posts for that side.

Simon is not impressed.

Other than add a few rifles, this is pretty much it. Down the road, I may add two large plates on the left side. We left room for that so it will be easy to add it.

Very nice!

Looks great, thanks for keeping us posted on your project. Update with any future additions.

Looks good and organized. I like it.

Bonus picture. As part of the bedroom redesign, we built a new closet system. One was assigned to me so ammo wouldn’t be hidden behind the shoes and etc of our closet.

The shelves are a about 24”x24” and can hold three full 50 cal ammo cans. The shelves are designed to handle 200 pounds each.

All of my range bags and miscellaneous stuff fit too.

Awesome...... one of these days I will have a storage build myself, till then the clothes closet will be my tactical storage unit. Lol...

Well, you've got everything 'important' :D organized now, looks great !!

Any new mods, updates, changes, how's everything working out so far?

I haven’t changed anything since the last pictures. Having lived with it for a while, there are a few things I might have done differently but they’re so minor that they’re not big deals.

Both my wife and I use it daily.

The only issue is it’s too humid and warm in the room. My current dehumidifying solution isn’t cutting the mustard. I don’t want to use a gold rod because it’s already too warm in that room.

So any dehumidifiers that might work but don’t use heat would probably work. Just haven’t found anything yet.

If feasible/possible and assuming it's a forced air system, do you think running a air return duct along with a heat/air duct to that gun room would help any, would keep the humidity/temp in that sealed area in line with the rest of the house ?

What’s your humidity reading? I use something similar to one of these in my safe——-> https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020670699

I have a version of these of each of my of my safes and one in my cupboard that I store my reloading supplies.

And one in the "gun room" in the open. Yes, I have OCD.

Mine are digital with readings and history so I can see if they are changing. I know I am a bit overkill but I do highly recommend them for anyone with a gun room or a safe. I also have the golden rod heating elements in my safes too.
