Mounting of Firearms - Static Display
Not too sure where this thread belons, Mods place in appropriate forum. No doubt there will be howls of protest, however, it is my intent to restore the following:
- Lee Enfield SMLE MK3
- Webley Revolver
Once restored I want to mount them individually as a static display within a timber frame case. My question is what would be a good mounting setup as to to only show the weapon without any clamps, brackets etc that would take-away the actual weapon on show.
I'm thinking of some sort of 'blind' bolt/screw coming from behind the timber panel picking up the woodwork on the SMLE, and some part of the Webley.
Any thoughts/suggestions on an ideal method, or has anyone done this before and how did it turn out. The displays are for my study at home, got a collection of memorobilia from my Great Grandfather/Grandfather and father from previous conflicts they served in. Just thought the weapons would 'cap' off the study.
