I like the way you used a hole saw bit to make that barrel rest, by first drilling the holes - then cutting the board in half. Genius. I made a similar gun rack, but used a jig saw to cut the barrel rests in a vee shape. It don't look near as nice as yours!
Good advice. I will use all of them! I am going to build some version fork handguns that I can mount of wall in closet so I have fast access to handguns and ammo!
I wish I had woodworking skills that would allow an outcome like that! Alas, I need 'insert slot A into slot B and align until slit F and slit G are parallel......'
Ccctennis, very nice! Here is my attempt at a gun rack with supplemental shelving. Not quite finished yet, I hope to take a router and clean up the edges. Also waiting for the weather to be nicer so I can take it out to the garage and stain it a nice dark tone like you have yours. For the gun barrel rests I used a hole saw but I just set the pilot bit in about 1/4" from the edge. So there is a bit of concavity to it, but I intend to smooth that out prior to finishing. I also used a masonite backer just to keep my stuff from falling out the back side.
Lots of other good ideas and tips from this thread, I may have to utilize as well!

This.
And I second that you may want to consider foam on top to protect the barrels and something to hold the butts in place. I angled a board at the bottom and covered it with foam, it works great. Mine certainly doesn't look as good as yours because I was not smart enough to use the hole saw/cut board in half technique and used a jigsaw.
I also have a portable version I made from scrap lumber to hold a dozen guns when I have trap shooting days for friends, I think it cost me about $2 in bolts, foam and electricity to make.
