So my wife and I's new house has a fireplace. There is a really nice spot right above it where are a rifle would look perfect. Wifey says that this gun must be non functional to not be stored in the safe. so who has a nice inexpensive wall hanger for me to put above my fireplace?

Why not try the CMP forums, to see if there's a reweld someone wants to get rid of, or a drill rifle already demilled, or the store itself

I have seen some nice inexpensive enfield drill rifles on gunbroker

Lunker, if you don't have anything by Tuesday I may have something. Not a rifle though, old shotgun. Cost ya about 100.00 or less. NON functional, but looks fantastic and old.

Thanks. my wife prefers rifles, but i.might be able to talk her into a shotgun. Any pics?

how bout a dummy Thompson SMG or MP40? They can be had for about $200

Maybe something like this?

Or why not just buy a Mosin or two and hang them up?

Mosins are ugly IMO. I want something more pleasing to the eye. Also, it needs to be non-functional.

How about a muzzleloading flintlock? It doesn't have to be unable to fire since the loading is so specialized.

I agree with this. especially if your fireplace hearth has that old stone look to it

I'm thinking the wife would do.

 

No offense. But she is asking for it. And, it's a joke, or course.

I second the muzzleloader idea, especially for a stone fireplace! I'm going to a shop tomorrow, I'll see what they have that is in poor shooting shape but would still look good on the wall.

 

Or you could get a kit gun and finish it yourself.....
