How to display an MP-40?

[AlexV]

I have a (deactivated) 1941 MP-40 that I would like to display (in a frame with glass to protect it). Does any of you have example of their display so I can get some inspiration for it? How do you display your firearms?

I would put it on a stand in the open. Seems pretty pointless to sequester it behind glass and prevent anyone from being able to handle it.

Something like this would both protect it and keep it accessible:

A Magazine stand would be nice too.

An Mp40? I could come and volunteer to stand in your house and hold it as a display. I gotta get my hands on one of them some day!

I'd make sure I had a German helmet and a potato masher to display with it.

Easy. Run down to your local Michaels craft store. They have tons of shadow boxes and they are always on sale , or you can get a 40-50% coupon. Never pay full price at Michaels , ever!

make sure you can see it from out side , that way a concerned neighbour can call the police , to come over to trash your house, and confiscate your stuff.

Vegas trip is in order then. MP40 is fun to shoot!

This is a very wise hint.

Make sure nobody is jalous near you.

Get your self a uniform or two and make it part of that display .
Then do vegas and shoot the functional ones as well.
