I've always stored my long guns muzzle down, however, to keep oil in the barrel from weeping into the action and stock. Any particular reason you went muzzle up?
My thoughts exactly ...Very nice job! I personally think gun cabinets are great for displaying long guns, but poor security. If you could devise a lock bar tied into the wall, that could help slow down a potential smash and grab thief. But nice work repurposing the cabinet!
Love your sig line, from which book of Heinlein is it?Nice work and excellent workmanship
