Wallhanger guns, what do you have hanging up?

[churchmouse]

Thats a great idea for mounting. is there a foam or a rubber collar that you can use so the threads of the bolt don't come in contact with the firearm? I may have to do this (on a smaller scale).

Shrink tube. Easy peasy.

I have an old Crescent double barrel 10 gauge shotgun with a Damascus barrel. My dad won the gun in a card game in the 60's.

Now that just ain't fair...

I don't do this.

Everyone periodically has to admit strangers to their home, such as tradesmen about whom you know nothing. I have nothing displayed to indicate that I'm a gun owner. A casual remark to the wrong person about the guy with the guns on his wall can bring you unwelcome visitors.

I also have no firearms related bumper stickers on my car for the same reason.

I too have no bumper stickers on my car to indicate there might be a firearm inside.

The man cave is well secured when not being occupied by myself or the watch cat.

The watch cat says: "I pity the fool..."

Cool cat and guns, Joker !

If I had such people coming over I would just take them off the wall.

Nobody comes in my home without my permission so there would be time to take them off.

While I agree with your logic on not hanging things. I don't hang anything where prying eyes can see, however when the cable guy comes over and sees a cache of ammo, a reloader, and parts laying strewn all over my basement he's gonna figure out what I do on my free time. My cable guy seemed impressed...
I have an old Turk Mauser on display. Nothing that would hang out and about would be a high value target for a thief.

Great Grandfathers Ithaca Hammerless. I would have loved to been a "bird in the woods" when it blew up. The stories I've heard of him means there would have been some colorful words being thrown around...

Just moved the living room around a few months ago and am planning on putting this up soon...

 

[Psode27]

^ Hope your Grandfather was a lefty! Holy crap!

1859 c.sharps pepperbox .22.
My wife's grandfather found it under main st. Madison indiana back in the 60s. I made a shadowbox for it with a picture and info that goes with the gun.

I have what will someday be a hanger, but I want to make 100% sure it's inoperable before I do.
It's a SXS 12ga made by the "Compeer Gun Company" from Indianapolis Indiana.

It's in very poor shape as far as lock-up, and I fear terribly unsafe to shoot in it's current condition.
I don't think it's worth restoring to operating conditions, and I don't want someone loading it accidently.

I have a old Red Ryder BB gun, a percussion double barrel shotgun (bought from INGOer) and a single barrel percussion shotgun I found at an antique store in Bloomington.
