Suggestions for zebra 'trophies' other than the hide

Yes, om my kitchen table:-)
That’s excellent! I’d be interested in hearing what you used, plywood, staples etc. also how you mounted to your wall

Thanks, yes, just plywood. I first used a too thin one so it bended, increased thickness to 9 mm, but still bending a bit so put some metal reinforcement beams on the back. Seems quite some strong forces on such a hide, perhaps because still drying.

For the hide on the back I put in (plenty) small eyelets and a screew into the plywood to hold it.

For hanging I put a stell wire through holes I drilled in the reinforcements beams, joined the wire in a loop with wire rope clips. A screw in the wall, and it is just hanging like a painting.

Wonder if this is clear. If not, get back to me and I will try to clarify.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
