Most excellent. I need a Garand.
Just wanted to show off my completed M1 Garand display project. It was a quick diy display. Used spent shell casings that I slipped over bolts which I ran through the back as pegs to hold them. Winchester, Springfield, H&R and International Harvester.
NICE JOB ON THE DISPLAY BUT IM IMPRESSED BY NOT 1 NOT 2 BUT 4 GARANDS
Sure I could test fit the bolt holes locations if I was anywhere close to my Garands, but for the sake of curiosity:
-What was the vertical and horizontal measurements on center?
-Did you somehow angle the bolts/brass up or are they secure enough to not sag under the load?
Looks awesome and I fully intend to copy, maybe with some intermixed Springfields when I return home. I've often thought about a rack to place my Arisaka, 1903A4, Garand, and K98 together as historical timeframe type display rack.
Sounds like an excellent excuse to plan for 2 displays and the requisite additional M1s. This is getting to be an expensive woodworking project!
