Pulse Rifle Display Ideas

[SinkTube Jedi]

Well it has been a long long time since I have posted, but I got the interest back. Built a Pulse Rifle using "real" (Thompson, Remington) guns and parts from a half dozen individuals from the RPF to make this a reality back in 2001. Bad part about it it has been packed away since then, but I would like to display it,. Weights a ton,

So any ideas on making a display that will hold the weight.

Gracias, been trollign the last couple of says, mostly new "faces" and a few old timers.....

Seeing your name is a blast from the past. I don't have anything to add vis-a-vis the pulse rifle but I'm just remembering buying a Vader ROTJ saber from you off of ebay and learning that you were just around the corner at Camp Lejeune at the time so I picked it up in person. I still have that saber in my collection actually!

Good luck with the rifle.

Yes I remember, small world. Went to Boston then retired from the military and moved to Florida. Yup those ROTJ were fun. You still have it? MR surpassed those.

I use one GW's steel PR racks for my first gen SD. The gun weights 25lbs and the rack holds it easily. It took me 2 years to find one but it was well worth the wait. Before I found one I bugged Gary about doing another run of these but I don’t think he was all that interested since they were a huge pain to have made. I would hold out for one of these. :thumbsup

My other "all metal" PR will be mounted on custom cute industrial fiberglass grating. I purchased this from an RPF member so I have no idea how to get another one. I still need to figure out how to mount the gun to it

Here's mine. Constructed of MDF and pine with an 'egg crate' light diffuser and 'bicycle hooks'. Damn thing weighs a ton too...

Cool Display!

Oh yeah, I still have it. I haven't seen the MR version but I'll take your word it's well done, though I'm in no hurry to trade up.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time... A long time...

Who you calling old timer!?

I always like the original Icons idea of the gun sitting on the grate flooring piece of Hadley's Hope. Add a face hugger...

^This^ is my personal favorite. While I love the movie 'Aliens', I've never aspired to have a Pulse Rifle. But if I did, I'd want the display to look like this. :thumbsup

Eagle, your is amazing! However, I bet mine was cheaper, $3.99 pegboard from Kmart and leftover parts...

Yeah, I was fairly certain WHERE you had gotten the idea from. It's just that the color scheme on yours reminds me of the Sulaco.

if you look in the background at the weapons rack, it looks as if they used galvanized trench drain covers for the racking :love maybe you could use something along those lines, depending how you want to display your PR you could display it in a verticle (slight angle) position ???
