A wall rack keeps the rifle close. RACT keeps it locked.

A rifle wall rack puts the AR where you can reach it, and leaves it there for anyone else too. A cabinet locks it up and puts it a minute away. RACT is a locking wall gun rack that does both. The barrel lock clamps the handguard, the trigger cover blocks the trigger, and the rail screws into the studs. Your fingerprint opens it in 0.2 seconds.

An AR-15 safe that fits the rifle you run.

Handguards up to 2.75 in across. The takedown pin shield keeps the upper on while it is racked. Scopes, red dots, lights and slings clear the barrel lock.

Three screws into the studs

A 30 in steel rail and three GRK structural lag screws, included. Mounted flat it spans studs on 16 in or 24 in centers. Vertical or horizontal, right-handed or left-handed. Tested to over 550 lb of force.

Pistol-caliber carbines too.

Owners have mounted these carbines in RACT. Each one with a fit page uses the AR / Tactical Shotgun kit.

Biometric rifle safe or keypad.

RACT Biometric stores up to 10 fingerprints and updates your print each time you open it. RACT Keypad takes a code of 4 to 8 presses, 87,380 possible codes with a brute-force lockout. Both run 10+ months on a charge, recharge over USB-C, and come with two override keys.

Awesome!

Easy to mount and fit my Daniel Defense DDM4v7 Pro well. Would be even better if there was a way to prevent the safety selector from being moved but otherwise I give this safe a 10/10. Trigger guard is well made and protects the trigger from being touched by unwanted hands

Love it

Got two kids in the house. This lock is perfect. It works great for M&P AR 15. Soon will be getting a shotgun and will need to install one more of these.

Good versatility for your AR configuration.

I had issues with other mounts due to my AR configuration or with AR15 type rifles like SIG that are different enough not to fit in a Hornady claimshell safe. This provides good protection with max configuration options. I may look into a truck type mounting solution for a truck gun. E.g. mounted to a plate bolted to seat mounts or the like.

It took a bit to get things adjusted but my AR fits like a glove. It is a great design and heavy duty material. I would have given it a 5 star but the unit beeps every minute or so even after charging it for hours. I have to leave it plugged in to keep the beeping to stop

Questions before you order.

Will it fit my rifle?
Any AR-15 or carbine with a handguard up to 2.75 in across fits the standard hinge, and the parts slide along the rail to match the rifle’s length, optic and light. Wide aftermarket stocks are the one thing to check: an owner measured the stock support’s slot at 2¼ in. See what AR owners report, or email support@varasafety.com with your build.
Is it a rifle wall rack or a safe?
Both. A rifle wall rack keeps the gun where you can reach it, and RACT locks it there: the barrel lock clamps the handguard, the trigger cover blocks the trigger and the takedown pin shield keeps the upper on. Only a registered finger or your code opens it.
Biometric or Keypad?
RACT Biometric is the quick access rifle safe: one touch, 0.2 seconds, up to 10 prints, and it ships with the kits for an AR and a traditional stock. RACT Keypad takes a code of 4 to 8 presses on four buttons, for a household that shares one code or for worn fingerprints. Biometric $379, Keypad $339.
What happens if the battery dies?
The rifle stays locked. The lock needs power only to open, a charge lasts over 10 months, and two override keys open it with no power at all.
