I'm in the process of remodeling a small house. It will have a pretty big hearth and fireplace. On one side of the fireplace I'm building a place to store 3 rifles.  I want to be able to lock the rifles into the hearth.  The plan is to imbed some type of a chain that can be ran through the trigger guards and locked with a big antique lock of some sort.  I'm looking for ideas, or possibly just a hand forged chain that I can you.  If this question is not allowed here, sorry, I'm looking for a solution. 

Welcome from the Ozark mountains. I you are looking for a blacksmith to make a chain or any other way to secure the rifles, it would help to know where in the world you are located. If that is the case, I would suggest posting in the Tailgating section after reading the rules for posting there. There are many ways to secure the rifles by forging solid steel bars beside chain. Although a forged chain with fancy links would look good.  A picture of the area would help.

Welcome aboard from 7500' in SE Wyoming.  Glad to have you.

Yes, I can think of several possible ways of securing the rifles, but, as Irondragon says, we can't offer much until we know where you are.  This is a world wide forum and you could be in Kansas, Lapland, or Tasmania.

There are distinct Rules for storing Firearms, different in a lot of Countries. Some countries have a penalty of death, for owning a center-fire Rifle. The safest way to store a firearm is out of eye-sight, preferably in a Lockable place. Some counties demand this be in a Vault as well as having a trigger lock.
