You’ve got uppers. They deserve a better home. The HangAR System solves one of the most annoying storage problems in any gun room—how to cleanly, securely, and safely store your AR uppers. We ran it with AR-15s and AR-10s and it looks great. Whether it’s for your gun room, bench, or safe, this mount locks in tight, shows off your build, and keeps your gear within arm’s reach. Clean. Secure. No excuses.
TL;DR – Why the HangAR System Wins
Mounts through takedown pin holes – no tools, no modification
Fits AR-15 and AR-10 uppers – just choose the right model
Low-profile aluminum bracket – clean display, no clutter
Mounts to walls or safes – includes screws or adhesive pads
Optional mag and slat wall mounts – expand your setup easily
Rated for real-world use – holds securely without wobble
Why traditional storage fails
Gun owners know the pain. Uppers piled in bins. Leaned in corners. Shoved in foam cases or wedged onto random hooks. It’s ugly, inefficient, and risky.
We’ve even stored them by sticking a peg through the takedown pin hole. It looked awful—and felt worse.
HangAR fixes that. It’s built specifically for AR-pattern uppers. It doesn’t rely on cradling the barrel, jamming the charging handle, or flexing your furniture.
How does the HangAR System work?
The genius is in the interface. HangAR mounts through the takedown pin holes using a precision-machined bracket. That bracket then locks into a wall plate using a slot-and-rail interface.
Magnetic Mounts: Ideal for attaching to metal surfaces like safes.
Slat Wall Kits: Perfect for retail displays or organized gun rooms.
Stealth Mounts: For a more discreet storage solution for a full rifle.
These accessories offer flexibility, allowing you to customize your storage to fit your space and needs.
Pros and Cons of the HangAR System
Pros:
Secure Fit: Mounts directly through takedown pin holes, ensuring stability.
Space-Saving Design: Vertical storage frees up valuable space in safes and rooms.
Versatile Mounting Options: Compatible with various surfaces and configurations.
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality aluminum for longevity.
Aesthetic Appeal: Provides a clean, professional display for your uppers.Amazon
Cons:
Upper Receiver Only: Designed specifically for AR-15 and AR-10 uppers; not suitable for complete rifles.
Who is The HangAR System for?
DIY gun room builders
Armorer’s benches
Shops or builders displaying inventory
Anyone who hates cluttered floors and foam trays
This isn’t a gimmick mount. It’s purpose-built for one job: hanging AR uppers cleanly and securely.
What uppers will the HangAR System hold?
If it has a MIL-SPEC AR-15 or AR-10 upper, you’re set. That includes:
Forged and billet uppers
Factory and DIY builds
Full-length or pistol builds (as long as takedown holes are present)
The HangAR bracket does not require a specific barrel length, extension, or M-LOK slots. Just a standard upper receiver. Choose the right bracket (AR-15 vs. AR-10) and you’re good to go.
Optional Mounting Upgrades
HangAR doesn’t stop at just wall brackets. It’s a modular system:
Slat wall adapter – for shop or home display walls
Magnetic backing plate – stick it directly to a steel safe interior
Pegboard compatible – fits cleanly with your garage setup
This makes it one of the most flexible AR upper storage systems out there.
Why Takedown Pins Matter for AR Upper Storage
One of the smartest features of the HangAR System is how it locks into the takedown pin holes of your AR upper. This isn’t just a secure way to hang your gear—it’s precise, stable, and stress-free.
If your upper uses a standard AR-15 or AR-10 takedown pin setup, you’re good to go. That includes forged, billet, factory, or DIY. Just choose the correct model (AR-15 or AR-10), and it will mount cleanly through the rear takedown pin slot—giving you a solid anchor point that won’t scuff your gear or stress your finish.
This kind of fitment isn’t possible with pegboard hooks or generic mounts. The HangAR System makes it modular without compromise.
Real Use Case: Built for People Who Actually Use Their Rifles
I used to store my uppers on a pegboard using a steel hook that slid through the takedown pin hole. It worked, sort of—but it looked cheap and made my gear look slapped together. That peg would wiggle loose. It scratched anodizing. And worse, it made my wall look like a garage, not a proper bench.
With HangAR, I can store my builds like they deserve. The interface is clean. The look is tactical, not tacky. And whether I’m doing content or cleaning, I know each upper has a home.
“This is the cleanest way to mount your AR upper. It looks like it’s floating—and it’s secure enough that I don’t think twice about leaving it loaded up.”Jason Schaller
How It Compares to Other Mounting Options
There are plenty of ways to hang an upper—but most fall short. Here’s how the HangAR System stacks up:
That’s the kind of design thinking that only comes from people who’ve lived the problem—and needed a better answer.
A Smart Mount Grows With You
One of the best things about the HangAR is how modular it is. Starting with one upper? Great. Add more brackets later, use the same plates. Changing builds or calibers? Just slide the upper off and drop in the next one.
It’s like a plug-and-play system for your gun wall.
Want to expand? Add:
A slat wall plate to turn your safe into a gallery
Q: Will it work with AR pistols? Yes. As long as it’s a standard upper with takedown pin holes.
Q: What if I change calibers often? Buy a bracket per upper. They’re cheap and swap fast.
Q: Can I mount to a safe? Yes. Use the magnetic mount option
Q: Do I need tools to remove it? Nope, unscrew the mount from the front and rear takedown pin holes.
Q: What’s better—this or a rack? This. You save space, get faster access, and it looks professional.
Final Thoughts
If you’re serious about AR builds, stop stacking your uppers in boxes or balancing them on shelves. The HangAR System gives your gear the respect it deserves—and keeps your space clean, organized, and mission-ready.
