Wall hanging tips

[A&P251]

Hey everyone,

I'm wanting to hang my Avenger on the wall for display/easy access. I know I can figure it out on my own but I thought I would see if there are any tips on a good and cost effective way to do that.

Thanks!

I used these rubber coated hooks from Amazon, they work well for me.

Make sure you screw into the wall studs or you will find your rifle on the floor some morning . just sayin'

id say the standard 16 on center stud spacing works out for most guns, use a neo magnet to find the screws in several spots and mark them then dingle a line down your wall (masking tape works good) so you know where your at ... a level comes in handy to, you can hold your gun and one hook up to mark placement for one end and install it ... then use the level with the other hook in place on the gun to mark that one .. 3 hands helps lol ...

Studs or toggle bolts, they ain’t going nowhere.

@joekrooz - do you happen to know a brand name?

@dizzums - those holdup displays look nice but I think I'll look for a cheaper option for now. I'm still wanting to put more pennies towards other guns and fill equipment first.

Thanks for the hanging tips! I'm a handy guy so I've got stud finders and the necessary tools for installation.

I’ve switched to hanging everything vertically using guitar wall hangers.

@-Blue That’s creative using guitar hangers. What’s the idea behind hanging them that way?

I used to hang everything horizontally using sheets of pegboard and holders but I wanted something more discreet. I got tired of hanging a sheet over everything to “hide my hoard” whenever I had a contractor working on something.

I inherited a bunch of lockers from work when they remodeled the break room and needed a way to hang rifles in a narrow vertical space. Now they are out of sight and I can lock them for a little extra security if needed.

@-Blue That’s pretty slick. I like it.

That's a good idea for saving space. I'm putting it over a door for now so I have to go horizontal.
