No it's heavy enough on it's own. The shotgun is an old English Parker muzzleloader. From the look of it it was stored on it's butt in a shed with a dirt floor. The guy I got it from had it hanging on the porch over the back door. It's in really sad shape and most people would just toss it. I doubt it will ever be a shooter but I do want to at least try to make it a decent looking wall hanger.
