Don´t much like the fancy American glass cupboard safes for living area display. Think tbone´s suggestion is about best as it replicates the way the rifles were originally stored by the military. How about getting hold of a genuine mil gun room rack (as far as I can remember there was also a felt strip around the curves for the rifles to fit snugly). They must be available somewhere as surplus. All firearm HAVE to be kept in a certified safe over here that can be inspected at any time by the authorities and proof that the safe is appropriately certified must be registered with the police dept.

I went about my safe rack the same as T bone, but staggered them one in one out, and got a couple extra in the space. Just means you need to lift a front one out to get the rear one without dragging the bolt knob an another. (old pic... note the MLE didn't fit

There is also this rack, holds 20 SMLE's. Has a steel bar that sits in and then sliding doors go on and padlocked. I chucked a handfull in it for a pic the evening I got it before it went on the wall.

It makes a great backdrop for portrait pics...

This rack took me about 2 hours to knock up out of free material.
And the same thing would take me a week- or more. And probably two or three iterations.

Nice gun racks and talented wood workers. Great job guys!
I don't have the wood working tools or space to build a project.
I scored some pre fab racks from here. Firearm Racks
You can buy complete racks or build some of it your self.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
