Hi everyone,
I have an old Winchester shotgun and would like to build a display case to hang on the wall. I have had no luck finding plans. There are plans all over for gun cabents, but i'm looking for case plans as I only have the one shot gun to display.

thanks for any help,
Rich

Have you tried searching for long gun display case rather than shotgun? A lot more come up that way.

Shouldn't be that tough to come up with a set a plans.

How long is the gun? How high? How thick? How much room do you want around it in the case? Horizontal display or vertical? What kind of wall will you hang it on? Do you want it to be easily or quickly opened? Locked? Glass front? What flavor wood? Exposed joinery? Interior lining?

I'm thinking this is pretty much just a box with a lid and some glass, and a hook or two to hold the gun.
