    Custom Gun Display

    Custom rifle display that my father and I built this summer. Each wooden panel is hand painted with the flag of the country of origin for the individual rifle. We are considering offering these types of displays for sale and would appreciate any feedback.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Being from Dallas I would have thought I'd see a United Statesicon rack.

    Very nice but not very practical for me. Too many rifles.

    Likewise, ours would need trigger locks for long guns.

    same wavelength

    I was thinking of doing something similar but with small cloth flags. The Allied rifles pointing right and the Axis pointing left, with small flags underneath. Your idea is much more impressive.

    I did something similar to that, by attaching small copies of flags to magnetic business-card stock, which I then attach magnetically to a magnet glued down to the display. this allows for easy rearrangement as the mood strikes. Of course, you do need a secure area in which to have the display!
