wooden Mosin crate project

Was given a wooden Mosin crate, empty though. This is what I did with it.
Did not make a coffee table out of it, kind of a shadow box mounted on the wall.

Thats a cool idea. Hadnt thought of that. What the heck kind of brackets/fasteners did you use to hang it?? My crate weighs a bloody ton....even empty!

The brackets are cast aluminum 8"x14" with a steel bar to reinforce the load.
3, 3/8 lag bolts 5" long per side, any longer would have poked out the other side of the wall

Pretty cool. First thing I thought of when seeing this is the Corvette out at Wisconsin Dells.

That's one way to keep your car from being stolen, well most places anyway, probably not in the Bronx.

Do the crates fit all kinds of mosins, or are there longer crates for M1891s and shorter for the carbines?

My crate only fits 91/30's. I have tried to reconfigure the spacers and I cant seem to make it work. It might be like the Rubik cube though...I couldnt make that work either!

Last time I was at Axis Arms, he had carbine crates. Don't know how much they were. May want to call him and find out.
