8 Gun Carbine Display

This is how my Display Rack looks now thanks to Ruby Swamp Wood Works. I used two 3 Gun Racks, and one 2 Gun Rack, and a little help with some bricks for spacing. Top to Bottom are: Rockola, Quality, Standard Products, Inland, National Postal Meter (White Bag), IBM, Winchester 6.5 (White Bag), and Inland (DCM hand me down from my Dad).

Rusty, I like it!! Nice carbines and nice way to display them....Frank

Very nice display with great subject matter!

Thanks for sharing.

Rusty,

Looking at picture #4 the table is bowing under the weight. Hate to see a nice group like that take a fall.

Jim, That table has been bowing ever since my large butt stood on it once. If it will hold me, it will hold those Carbines - LOL

Rusty, great looking rifles. I really like the stock on the second one from the top.....Frank

Thanks Frank, It should look familiar to you.:bow:

Great collection

Outstanding collection Rustship! You came up with a very nice way to display them together.

Also, I really like seeing carbines with the later features in collections. I think I'm a minority sometimes but I appreciate carbines with the later features as much as carbines with early parts.

When I still had a my collection I was trying to get one each of every maker I could find, or afford, and I didn't care so much if it had later features. I liked having carbines I felt were in the same condition as when they left service.

One of each means he will need a few more racks. Then watch that table bend. Such a dilemma. :ugh:

Thanks, I like them as correct as they can be, but I am partial to type 2 rear sights, and I shoot them all. And, its hard to find a real flip sight!

Rustship, when you initially pictured the two racks togather, I liked them so well that I emailed Scott Jones, the guy that makes them, and asked if he could make the "rear" rack taller to give it a 6 gun tier effect. He was very accomodating and for a very modest price increase is doing that. I will attach two furniture latches...one on each inside to hold the two racks firmly when I set them up at a gun show so that they don't tip over.

Glad it will work out for you. Let me see some pictures when they get finished, I might have to go that route also. These Bricks are heavy! :super:

Went to Lowes just to browse fasteners and i think window latches might work well since they are the type things that can be tightened. Won't buy anything till I get them set up and see what I need. Might only need the simple screen door type hook & eye.
