Range Association Offers Plans for Outdoor Gun Rack
The National Assn. of Shooting Ranges (NASR), a division of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), has made available a complete guide to constructing a sturdy, six-gun, outdoor rifle rack. On its website, the NASR offers a step-by-step Rifle Rack Building Guide, printable .pdf project instructions, plus a Web Video that covers the whole building process.
The article explains: “This rack stands 36 inches tall and extends 18 inches from the wall. Most rifles and shotguns fit comfortably well within these dimensions. The slots for the butts are two inches wide and five inches from front to back. Both the larger shotguns and smaller rifles we tested for fit rested in the rack securely. An outdoor gun rack can be constructed of readily available materials for $60 or less. The legs are 2x6s cut to length. A gun-butt carriage is assembled of 1×4 and 1×6 pine boards and short pieces of 2×4 lumber. The rack’s top cradles the muzzles between 2×2 blocks of cedar. Felt helps protect the guns’ finishes.”

The measurements that are provided at Rangeinfo.org re: the gun rack are incorrect. The 2×2 2″ pieces are actually 3.5″ and the 2×2 5″ piece is actually 6″. Good gun rack other than that.
The three links under Gun Rack Project Resources are broken.
Editor: David, that article is 3 1/2 years old. We’ve tried to re-establish links but it appears that article vanished when the NSSF changed the NASR website.
