    In the wardbrobe all stacked up - cases at the side. That way I can pick and choose what I want for Sunday. Also reminds me to clean them/service them before going out.

    oh, Think it's ok if I keep them in a bag? just black back which I bought from airsofteire..com

    You can keep them almost anywhere you want in your house so long as they're not in public view (visible from outside). A friend of mine has them hanging on the wall in his office/game room/small sitting room. Mine are usually on the floor in my sitting room or some other room (never in the press I got to store them in:rolleyes:). They've been in the hall since Sunday.

    As Evade said - it doesn't overly matter as long as they're safe and out of public view.

    You are better off keeping the boxes in-case you are ever selling any of them as it is the easiest way of packing them and some buyers like to get the original box wit an AEG.

    I used to keep the hand guns and small items in a bottom drawer, Leo the boxes and put the lid on the voting so the guns where all visable but the boxes kept them tidy.
    The aegs just sit in the corner against the wall. I did have my m15a4 displayed on a shelf with scope bipod and silencer all on it. But shelf is gone so its back againt the wall.

    Aegs go in the corner with a shemagh thrown over them to keep dust off, pistols stay in their boxes on a shelf. I've thinned the collection down a bit recently so it's a bit easier to find space for them now. It's harder to find space for plate carriers etc. imo.

    Everything goes in the attic which is MY space. AEG's go in cases , bags or in original boxes on shelves. Hangers for uniforms and assault rigs/ammo belts. More shelves for ammo , tools and extras and a work bench for repairs/cleaning.

    Wardobe in the workshop (I do electronics and have a small studio at home). Workshop has a combination lock on it, since I get cleaners and pet sitters in and they're better off not being trusted not to go into that room :-)

    Do you leave your boots out for the cleaners ???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭Zomg Okay


    Guns in the original boxes, everything else in a regular gear bag, all stashed under my bed.

    As a collector I have amassed a lot of gear; approximately 27 pistols, and around 18 rifles. This takes up a lot of space, and so the pistols are kept in two large storage boxes to keep them neat and tidy, whilst the rifles live in my make-shift gun rack (ex built in drawers w/drawers removed). All original boxes are kept out of the way in the attic.

    Big free standing display with my tv mounted in the middle.
    Twas a great purchase cause you can hang any possible item from the modular set up. Costa pretty penny though but I dont skirmish so if your gonna wall hang.... do it in style! :D

    This is my own
