Hi, first time on your lovely board; nice to be here.

I wish to mount a firearm on the wall of my bedroom (above the window so it's out of sight from outside), it weighs about 3.5 kg (8lbs) and I'm thinking of a two point mount, one behind the grip and one under the gas block.

what are some recommendations for strong DIY wall fixtures? :)

Thanks for any help.

something like this

Get a 3'-4' 1x6, put rifle on it "artistically," locate where you want dowels (under gas block and behind grip -- not exactly artistic OP...), Use 3/8"-1/2" drill to drill for corresponding 2"-3" dowels. Insert dowels with glue. Let glue dry, attach 1x6 to wall studs where you want it (toggle bolts though drywall would probably be enough, but hey, the sturdier the better), put rifle on dowels. Bonus points for slathering 1x6 in finish or paint.

Put anchors into wall.
Weld rifle to anchors.

Why do you need strong fixtures for something this light?
>>
>>1190706
Why do you need to use kg when you're talking about a gun?
>>
>>1190362
Anything will hold 8 lbs, you also dont specify wall material.
>>
>>1190373
But, Anon, it's actually a pretty solid mount.

Buy an actual gun safe from craigslist or an estate sale. No "fire safe" bullshit from costco or a catalog. Mounting a rifle on your wall is fucking gay and will be the first thing stolen when anyone breaks into your home.
>>
>>1190362
just take the mirror off of an old dresser and hang a few there.
>>

The other thought now is that traditional safes aren't really a deterrant to a crook that wants in. When cut off grinders and carbide saws and shit were rare or expensive or unheard of, having a big 700 pound safe was great.

Now the guy is still going to get inside it if he brought the right tool and a fresh battery.

On the other hand you can buy a gun cabinet to keep them safe, and bolt it down to keep a quick grab from walking off with it.

Most burglars don't have power tools because they've sold everything they can get to buy meth or heroin. Hence why they're risking jail or getting shot breaking into houses.

>mounting a gun on a wall
I guess you could do that.
>>
>>1191015
A burglar who would bring a power tool into your house either knows that you have no neighbors or is your neighbor. No burglar with sense would do that in a dense neighborhood.
>>
>>1190362
Just make or buy one of these. They make them rifle size,hides it in plane sight and easy to get to. I dont recommend buying them as they over charge bad

most burglaries happen between 10am and 3pm when no one will raise an eyebrow to an unknown vehicle entering and exiting your driveway and making loud noises. your neighbors aren't home.

Layers of defense.


A safe, a real safe not a 11gage steel pretty box ( like the livery safes). a tl-15 or tl-30 safe.

A monitored alarm system.

Good locks,

No need to bring them. Most homes have what you need to break into amything.

Have you tried watching Home Alone? You can copy the mounting system from that.

>>1191153
Any details or tutorials? Knowing my luck I'd have issues with the back hitting the wall when it descends.
>>
>>1191362
If you cant use google and your imagination just buy one, if i have to baby feed you instructions on how to make one you probably cant do it

I got some black surgical rubber tubing cut one to length to fit around barrel one to fit around narrow part of stock. Then trimmed a half inch off each end. I threaded some 550 cord, (para cord) through the tubing and used 2 of those springloaded cord clasp to cinch it tight. Pointed in a few nails and hung cord on the nails. If ya we want it super secure maybe a few hooks in the studs would work better for you.
