Today I sign my life away for my wife's dream home. Anywho the house has a fireplace and I think I want to hang my grandfathers shotgun on the mantle. It's a cheapo Model 10 JC Higgins that was actually recalled in the 50's (The 12 gauges were considered unsafe due to the bolt coming out the rear of the receiver!). Not the greatest gun but the only firearm my Grandpa ever owned and he killed a LOT of birds with it. I am thinking it's probably a good idea to deactivate it in some way as I have kids and kids have friends. If anybody has a fireplace hanger show me a pic I'd like some idea's. So I guess I'm asking if others deactivated their wall hangers and give me some ideas on displaying it.
