Thread: Display rifle

I saw one where the guy had drilled through the side of the chamber and threaded a 303 case he had filled with metal. It was then bolted to the display board from behind. He also drilled a hole into the side of the action and lined that up to a threaded hole in the rifle Bolt at half open. You could see the back of the case, (or what appeared to be the case but the bolt would not move.)

Part f the issue is that these still apear to be firearms. And whether they work or not, the victim in the dairy / tobacco store / service station cannot be expected to tell if it is deactivated or not. Add this to the fact that a display rifle is out for show and is visible and would indicate the owner clearly has an interest in these things, it could also increase the chance of someone trying to find out if you have more too steal.

I expect this could be why we dont see many "wall hangers" now.
