A bump for this thread, but really I just want to say I have put up a couple of shelves for putting some guns on. (I hope they hold as I could not get the dril into the stone walls properly). I want it to look a bit like an early 70's thing, although at the moment there is a bit of leeway withthe Baikal Ij38's.
Anyhow, among the 44 guns are 5 Webley Falcons, 2 Mk 3's, 2 Mk1 Airsporters, 4 Cadet Majors, 2 Cadets, A Pre war Bsa, various Diana 25's, 3 Pre war Diana 27's (one is actually a copy), 3 Mk1 Meteors, 4 Mk2 Meteors and few Relums.
Most air in fairly rough nick but working. The slightly better stuff will be going into a rack in the bedroom, but so far, there are 44 guns in the rack/shelves I've just done + 18 small Webley Junior/Diana 22 etc in 2 racks in the alcove at the bottom of the stairs.
I need to sort something out for later Meteors, Airsporters, Webley Hawks Mk1,2 and 3, Ospreys etc. Sort of a late 70's feel.
I think I can do a shelf /rack for another 22 rifles in the bedroom but will still have some rifle left over. I am thinking where to put them. Also I need/want to sort something out for pistols.
Has anybody got any suggestions for mounting/displaying rifles and pistols?
I am thinking of getting the little Haenel Xv and the Milita on the wall?
