Top 100 Best Gun Rooms

Couldn't make it down the entire gallery because I had to change my drool-soaked socks. Felt better after I realized several were Cabela's commercial gun rooms...other's probably are commercial as well.

Doesn't mean I'm not jealous....or outclassed. Just means that I need to remember these when I build my next house. Tired of hiding guns in a safe.
 
It's no accident that the nicested looing rooms had the best lighting.

As an architect and gunno, I've pondered gun rooms deeply and repeatedly. I find I run into conflicts doing so. I tend to be very practical; I cannot imagine putting things beyond easy arm's reach, but, that display walls can be gorgeous. I like the idead, the design concept of gun room as retreat, as a study. Getting that to mesh with my practical side is complicated, though.

Perhaps that's from cleaning too many guns on coffee tables, and then watching tv with the smell of Hoppe's in the air. So, my mental image of a nice rug and leather chairs is tarnished a tad by thoughts of slipped CLP and BLO. But, I cannot imagine a room like that without them, either.

That, nd all the "bits" we all collect along the way--the boxes, the spare grips, the parts sets, the hoisters and slings we are not using right now, all the spare (and sidelined) magazines.

Thanks for the link. Have seen some of those rooms before but several, like the three sides of nothing but handguns on a red background and the one that looked like HK's board room, were cool to see.

I doubt anyone is cleaning guns in room #5. Might have the smell of pipesmoke from two gentlemen handing a .500 nitro in a discussion of their upcoming African hunt though.
The rooms with the military style guns have no charm. They look like industrial storage units.

Just build in the storage. At least one of those rooms looked like it had an entire wall of those tool chests with all the thin drawers....that'd hold a lot of "bits".
 
Biggest problem is that I'm getting too old to build something like that and get the use out of it....return on investment. Now if I was only still 30.....

The older you get return on investment matters less.
You cannot take it with you and nobody can tell you how much time you have left on this earth assuming good health.
Enjoy the fruits of your labour and when you are gone everyone can fight over whatever you have left behind.

I have a client of over 20 years who I've seen build great deal of wealth.
After his passing it didn't take long for the children to divide everything up for their little piece of the pie.
