Do the double...
Odd, only one image showed up for me.
Rather than go with the $3000+ to get an authentic remake... whereabouts does one get a prop/replica? That looks really good

Now that's a truely awesome collection! I've been meaning to buy some more civil war relics.How is this for simple? Lag screw covered by surgical tubing. Works fine, looks fine, cheap, available at any hardware store.
2 guns. The holstered colt and the lever rifle on the wall.
I got those both from Sportsmans guide if memory serves. It has been 5 years or so.
The holster is the real deal with real ammo.
Are the top 2 enfields? Or the 3 under the top 2 look like enfields. Or the top a tower musket? I haven't studied up on those in a while. You could start a whole thread that would be VERY popular! I'll take that stuff over an AR any day of the week
Drat, I missed the boat on that one. The company my dad retired from used to own Sportsman's Guide.
Looks like they've got a number of lever-actions here: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/prod...d=185&c=30&s=708&trackid=catspiffGunRiflepos3
I've got an old Colt Navy (not sure of year) lying around that might look cool with one of those.

I am thinking a Ma Duce would fill that space nicely!

I kind of backed into it all. 30 years ago I wanted to collect Civil War but couldn't afford anything, so I bought World War II stuff instead. Eventually, I started selling the WWII stuff at a huge profit after Saving Private Ryan came out (ex: German G43 that I bought for $300 sold for $3500, etc.). I then turned around and bought Civil War stuff at prices that weren't that much more than it would have cost 30 years earlier. Technically, I don't actually have that much invested if you consider what the initial investment was. Plus, it helps that some of them were purchased at auctions basically for a song.

I am going to hang an AT-4 tube up in my office when I get my hands on one for a non-exorbitant price.
I have a Swedish Mauser and a Finnish Mosin Nagant hanging over our TV. There's a large eyebolt sunk into the stud behind them that lets a cable run between the two to keep them from coming off the wall without a least a bit of work.
I have 3 Mosin Nagants one 1942 91/30 and hex 1932 91/30 and a M44. I also have some empty shells ammo pouch and a copy of Enemy At the Gate movie. Wish I new how to take a picture of them and post. All the numbers match and the furniture in very good shape.

Can I come over and play?

I like wall hangers. A guy had a 50 caliber Pedersoli Kentucky rifle hanging over his fireplace. His wife wanted to redecorate the room and I got a beautiful rifle for less than $300. Had never been shot, just dusted on an as needed basis. Yea, I was a happy camper.
very very cool! Teach me your ways master lol.
Thanks, I am planning on taking your advice to start a separate thread on Civil War guns. It's just going to take some time to take a bunch of good photos and do some research. I want to make it something more interesting and useful than just me showing off my collection.

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).
"Lag screw covered by surgical tubing." (From rob63's original post) Being clear, it's not obvious in the pics.
