Mountain Rifle display.

[Mujiir]

Here's my Mountain Rifle I just refinished, on display at home. I made the stand from a walnut board I had left over from making a cheese press. I think it needs a pistol or bowie knife to finish the look. Care to share how you show off your muzzle stuffers?

My better half does not understand my addiction so I have to keep them hidden in my storage shed. ☹
You just need a nice western painting to disguise that big modern black screen behind it.

Depends on who has the run of the house. If kids then maybe a nice horn instead of a hand weapon.

While a bowie mounted beneath the forend with the point towards the rifle butt would IMO look nice, your mount will also stand on it's own.

Nice work, nice settings - on all three mountings posted- congrats ! !

While I like the looks of your display. I myself find "out of sight out of mind" safer. Guns of all types are number one in thefts.And thefts are becoming more and more common. There fore none of my guns are on display. That and the fact my wife would not allow them to be displayed in the house. She lets me play with them, build them, and shoot them but I keep them out of sight.

Pardon my dumb. It looks more like a plains rifle?

Married to the same woman for 45 years now. She wants a cannon for the front yard. A 6 pounder cannon I think... But them things ain't cheap. ;-)

According to the online 'gurus' it is a CVA 50 cal. Mountain Rifle from the 1980s. The place I bought it from said it was a Kentucky rifle... So even they were confused.

Now that's my kind of wall. Well done sir.

I do have a oak plaque board that holds one of my Hatfield’s but for the rest of my front stuffers this is how I display them. Greg

Yeah, it's a CVA Mountain Rifle like the one I have, except mine has no patch box due to being a Premier Grade MR (different TG, walnut stock, etc)

I had one just like yours back in the seventies. The only difference is mine was a '.54 cal.. It was a very good rifle but I let a friend talk me out of it. I bought mine for $200.00 and would give a trousand to get it back! LOL
