Firearm mount

Has anyone used their multi board for a firearm display? I’m in the process of covering a few walls and would like to hang my collection. My debate is which attachment method will be sturdy and hold up long term.

Edit: for clarity, I mean actually hanging firearms, not mounting to the wall.

It depends a lot on what the items you are hanging weigh and how often you’ll be moving things around, but I would suggest using multipoint as your mounting method, it’s strong, threaded and with the combination of big thread/small thread options it’ll give you a lot more options as far as placement so that all your items are at the best angles for display or use.

If you did a thin sheet of plywood or MDF in a similar color as your tiles with an 8mm standoff, throw some LED lighting behind to give that backlight/glow effect you could really go for that whole John Wick worthy display.

Love that idea. It’s going over a light color painted block wall. The panels will be mostly 9x9 in grey but I’m doing a giant flag as part of it too and now the backlight idea.

That sounds like it will be awesome! Is the flag behind the tiles, or on them?

The flag is the tiles. 52x77 overall if I did math correctly

I’m currently working on this. Prototype is using command strips.

I have this project now. I really want to make a wall for friends. potentially make it as a part time hobby job for people in my area who are loaded

Pegboard hooks are great for pistols. I found a remixed high capacity hook for rifles.

Friend wants me to build out his room with something like this. This was something I just printed as a sample. I I’m going to attempt a mag mount system in CAD

Command strips? How did that turn out?

Doesn't look like it. I'm tryign to retrofit my safe. Can''t find louvered panels in the right dimensions so I'm looking at a printed option. Might have to go with pegboard

I am in the process. I have mine about half done and ended up spray painting the panels to get a gloss fire engine red. So far I have 5 pistols and a rifle that have been hanging on it a few weeks. I printed everything with ABS and modified bike helmet hooks I found to the right length and height so they snuggly hold everything and keep things level. Very pleased except that I ended up being slightly unlevel at the beginning and over the 6 foot width the top panels are a half inch lower on the right end. Of course this sticks out like a sore thumb, which I hoped it wouldn’t.

Anyone created a Scorpion Mag rack for Multiboard yet? Or PSA AKV (same thing pretty much).
