Another display project from Taryn
Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2025 1:49 pm
My uncle gave me this rifle display case years ago with a commemorative Winchester in 38-55. The gun is long gone but I kept the case not knowing where I would use it again but figured it would eventually have a purpose. Taryn has been on the hunt for a case to display the RSSE with the knowledge there will ultimately be one more added, the flat gate polished Jerred. She stumbled across this display case tucked away in a closet and pulled it out to see if it would fit. We placed another RSS5 in the case and the fit is almost like it was designed for it. She is planning on replacing the felt on the back but sticking with the red. We have been discussing how to mount the guns. We tend to zip tie the guns to the display boards just so people are unable to walk up and handle them but since these will be behind glass we are looking at other options. My thought was to take some spent 22 LR or Mag casings and fit them with a wooden dowel in the middle and put a screw in from the back with one in the trigger guard and the other under the barrel. My concern with that idea is that there is no "lip" to keep the guns from falling if the display gets jarred, or rammed, by an old man on an electric scooter.
Inputs would be appreciated.
