I do like a few others that are concerned about leaving them out for too long a time. I just put the display in the living room and gaze at them for a few days and put them back in the safes. I don't know if this is really a display or a just a gun show.

well, you certainly could have a gun show, you have enough stuff to have a good head start on a museum display...LOL
If it were me, I'd just build a small not so noticeable shelf about the hight of the back of those couches. Then a not so noticeable trim rail a few feet above that, with small, smooth barrell notches. That way when you get them out, you could still use the furniture. Of course the mirror would have to be moved, or come down, but that's my only suggestion, and it's just a suggestion. Don't mess around with stuff just because somebody else had a bright idea. "You do have a fine Display" and plenty to keep a part of history alive for many years to come. I enjoyed seeing your stuff, and thanks for posting.

Awsome! Love the accessories and photos. The only question I have is where do you folks that display unsecured is where do you live that you can leave your house without putting everything in a safe?I want to move there. I have a modest collection but I would be a nervous wreck if I could not lock it in the safe. Guess I will build a bunker.

First open up a photo bucket page online. I usually have to right click on my photo's, open with paint program & downsize to 75% X 75% to make them slightly smaller and able to post here. Now after I do that, I upload to photo bucket, save it, label it, all that stuff.
Then open my milsurp in a different tab browser. Now flip tab back and forth to go to photo bucket, mouse over the pic in your albums & a little sub menue pop's up. Go down to the bottom item called IMG CODE. when you click on it, it should say copied. Next flip back to the milsurp page, open your reply to box and right click in it and paste. But careful where you write stuff and paste in your reply, keep writing to minimum until you get the hang of it, as where ever that cursor is at the time, is where it will paste your pic. Now it won't look like a pic yet. It will just be the link. You press enter after paste, get cursor below that pic shortcut, and flip back to photo bucket and repeat the process untill you got all your picks. Your done when you think you got enough pics to show off, and hit POST QUICK REPLY. then you will see your pics.

WHEN I STARTED this post, I had no idea the responses it would bring. "AWESOME EVERYBODY"
AND I welcome bunker picks too... LOL, bring it on. As far as being secure, just use what you can handle at any one time. A buddy of mine came up with a good idea... He said to purchase a SAFE DOOR, that replaces your existing room door. "ACCESS DENIED" to any pying eyes you don't want in that room. Now you can put anything in there you want to. Keep the whole man cave secure'd so to speak.
Just a suggestion, and sounds like a very good one. Please.. by all means... "Build your display" we need more pics.... LOL...
