Building your own gun rack provides the flexibility of personalizing a rack to fit your specific firearm needs. Whether you want a vertical rack that can work on your limited wall space or a horizontal gun rack for your garage, you have numerous options.
Learning how to build a gun rack in a closet is one of the most popular rack construction ideas. Not only does this work for interior space, like in a bedroom closet, but it can also work for additional buildings, like a shed, garage, or semi-detached house.
The best part? You can use Spartan Mounts products to ensure you save money and build a high-quality DIY gun rack that can fit your unique needs. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars for a generic gun rack, our products are compatible with horizontal gun racks, custom hangers, and other personalized gun storage ideas.
Before you get started, specific tools and materials are needed to ensure a long-lasting, secure, and durable closet rifle rack. Choose the proper Spartan Mounts for the firearms you want to mount, as well as the proper hardware and install tools. Choosing high-end materials guarantees you create the best display gun rack that will last for years.
Knowing the tips and tricks of building a gun rack from start to finish is important, so you don’t skip any steps. We offer a step-by-step tutorial, so gun owners are confident in making stand-alone racks, weapon racks, and affordable gun racks for their homes.
The first step of creating your gun rack is choosing the right closet space. Gun owners must decide where they want to build their in-home gun rack.
By browsing online gun closet design ideas, gun owners can find a cool idea they love for the additional space in their house.
Measure the closet using a tape measure to see how much space you have to build your custom rack.
Determine if you're going to store rifles, magazines, uppers, shotguns, pistols, and other accessories in your rack.
Browse the 550 products at Spartan Mounts so that each firearm and accessory has a spot.
Ensure the firearms you want to display can fit in your chosen gun rack. Measure the width, length, and height of your firearms compared to the wall and floor space.
Using chalk or a construction pencil, measure the area where you want to build and hang the gun rack.
Mark the wall with some blue masking tape to help visualize where the guns will be displayed. Ensure you leave a couple of inches on each side for extra room and additional floor space to get in and out of the closet.
Alternatively, you can use blue masking tape to lay out the size of the rack location on the floor, and lay your firearms inside the space to finalize their location before mounting.
Choose the type of finish you want for your rack. Most owners choose an easy spray-on finish or spray paint. If you are mounting directly to your closet wall or door, now is your chance to add vinyl texture, or paint the walls before you mount your firearms.
Use proper installation screws to attach the mounts to the wall or backing-board that the rack is built out of. Transfer each mount using the locations you figured out in step 8
Display your work and firearms. Your custom rack is the best way to showcase your unique collection of guns.

Gun owners can store a gun in a closet to save space. Firearm owners can use vertical gun storage (vertical gun rack) on the wall or horizontal racks to lay out their firearms.
Guns can be stored long-term by using temperature-controlled storage space in a closet. Owners can use vertical storage with a vertical gun rack or horizontal storage with a horizontal gun rack to save space in their home's closet.
Yes. If you don't have the money or the space for a traditional gun safe, one of the best storage solutions for keeping your firearms protected is to keep your gun in a closet with a standard key or fingerprint lock. Not only is this relatively safe from burglars or children, you can keep your weapons temperature-controlled to avoid moisture, mildew, and deterioration.
This is a personal preference. However, if your gun rack is easy to access for display purposes, you should keep your ammo locked up separately for safety.

mounted to dead space on inside safe door. great for unused space.
These are great brackets but they are a little snug. I have other models from the seller and they are not as snug. I have used these for MY staccato mags and my Prodigy mags. It fits both mag brands the same (snug). All in all they are great, they come with mounting screws and anchors. Shipping was fast.
Exactly as anticipated! Fits great! Have not mounted to wall yet. Fitment is key!
Amazing! Fitment is perfect. Have not mounted to the wall yet, but did fit perfectly into the magwell.
Flipped them and hung my light sabers. May the force be with you!
wanted a shotgun wall mount for behind a door......this works perfectly for my tactical 590 easy install and very secure..would recommend
This piece is so simple yet so perfect for being able to mount your AR so that it's located in the perfect spot for quick access, when seconds count.
I've just received my 7th different mag mount from Spartan. Some of which I have more than one of. I use round neodymium magnets to mount them inside of my safe, which work incredibly well, and allow for customization without drilling holes all over the place. Which is good for someone like me because I am always acquiring more mags. If you're looking to organize magazines in your safe, Spartan products are good to go. I cannot comment on weapon mounts, as I have none of those. That said, I assume they are as good as the mag mounts.
Items owned:

All of these products are fantastic, and I would absolutely purchase again.
Got this and 2 AR mounts, they are super easy to set up and work just as they should. Holds fully loaded rifle/magazines with no issues. Easy to install, great addtion.
The product does exactly what I bought it for. What else can you ask for? Great product.
Exactly what I have been searching for. Solid 3D printing and fitment. Will purchase future needs from Spartan.
