Hey Byron - contact a former colleague of mine from the National Firearms
Museum, Ivan Ingraham at [log in to unmask], he can give you specifics, but if I
remember correctly, when we were looking at cheap mounts, we found an
excellent solution that is still being used at the museum. The mounts don't
scratch the guns, and are strong enough to support the guns with minimum
visual distraction. If Ivan can't give you the name of the supplier, call
Doug Wicklund at the museum at 703-267-1602. Good luck!
