My spouse would like to replace the taxidermied fish above our mantle with mounting some firearms. I'm ok with this so long as we maintain a classy aesthetic. Sorry, no utilitarian but ugly weapons like polymer pistols, camo pattern shotguns, or AR-15s.
Unfortunately due to a tragic boating accident, this will require gradually accumulating enough "display worthy" firearms. These all need to be shooters, so no "too rusty to shoot" wallhangers, "I know what I got" unissued $5k collectors rifles, or "You can technically shoot it but it costs more than your car" (H&H, I'm looking at you).
I'm thinking a M1 Garand and a CZ SxS would be a nice start, and am interested in other firearms which are worth considering. Wood stocks or grips are a plus because they look great under display lights.
I'm not worried about hurting fee-fees with our display. All our guests are gun owners so it'll be an interesting conversation piece rather than Karen getting the vapors.
I'm also not worried about thieves. In the words of Burt Gummer, "you broke into the wrong goddam rec room".
