Looking for ideas for a simple locking gun rack for a single AR-15. Wood, metal, combo ... Probably something that I can use a key rather than combo or biometric. Quick check on Brownells and amazon didn't turn up anything quite suitable. Besides, might be a fun little side project.
Normally my guns and supplies sit in a typical large gun safe in another building. My shop is next to one of our fields. That field bridges two wooded areas so is a run for all sorts of animals, deer and coyotes being common. I'm not much of a hunter but the coyotes have taken more than one of my wife's cats, so time has come to keep a rifle (probably an AR) out in the shop. Looking for ideas for a gun rack that has a simple lock. I rarely lock my shop up, and grew up in a house that kept loaded .22's in the living room. But in today's world I'd like to have something that would keep a casual visiting kid from grabbing a rifle. (With the tools in the shop, there's nothing that would keep a determined thief from breaking into whatever they want)
