The owners were nice enough to let me take pictures of their gun room and post them.  No address or names but some interesting weapons. I enjoy looking at gun rooms from the smallest to the largest. Some times it is not the guns but the rooms that are interesting and some time it is just about the guns. This first post is a room of a guy that likes everything and it is from him that I was able to borrow the rifles that I will be posting about next week. However, I think there will be a lot more interesting pictures and information coming from here.

This what you see walking into the room last the vault door.

This is not a normal type of post for me as Ian at forgotten weapons generally does auction posts. However there were a number of interesting items in the up coming auction that I thought would show you a few of them. It seems that a collector of WW2 rifles has decided to put his collection up for sale. There was a very good representation of French rifles, but the one that caught my attention  was a MAS 34. This is a Bethier converted to 7.5 French.

DSC_4298csA rifle that is not common at all.

Another military rifle that was interesting was the 98/40 with bayonet.

A close up to look at the markings.

One that caught mt attention was the pin fire pepper box pistol. I really like odd and unusual and this fits the bill.

And as I have a thing for the Martini-Henry rifle I was excited to see a target model of a small action 22lr rifle. This is a nice shooter piece.

The one I really would like to buy but have no money for is the miniature 22 Gatling gun.

DSC_4329csI think it matches my eyes, what do you think.

DSC_4331csIf you have a chance stop by and have a look, they are real nice people. There catalog is on line and with over 1000 weapons there is something to check out http://reatapassauctions.com/.

A quick look at the flyer.

The trip was good, I was able to pick up a new piece of needed equipment for the shop. In addition I borrowed a dozen rifles to write about,had a fun night, stopped by a site to photograph some interesting weapons and saw some great gun rooms. I will post Sundays answer tomorrow. Here is a picture of one of the weapons that I got to play with.

DSC_4286csMore tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
