LOCKABLE ASSAULT RIFLE DISPLAY RACK

Observations:
There exists a population of rearm enthusiasts who own and re military style assault ri es and sniper ri es as a recreational activity There is a limited selection of domestic gun racks that appeal to military style rearm owners Some ri e owners prefer to openly display their weapons as showpieces while others prefer to use lockable gun safes North Carolina state law requires guns to be locked when minors are present in the household

Opportunity:

Create display/storage rack speci cally for assault ri es. Incorporate easy-to-use locking capability to prevent unwanted use by minors and to deter theft

Constraints:

Use production methods readily availible to Montie Design (a Raleigh, NC product development rm) such as water jet cutting, machining, powder coating, and anodizing Fit the product within the brand identity of the existing Montie Gear line of tactical products
