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

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
Woah, now that is a gorgeous wall display. All originals? (if so, that's a lot of $$$$ up on that wall).

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.

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).
