Rocky, It is not a walk in, although it is big. Weighs 1139lbs with nothing in it. It is 6ft. tall, and 4ft. wide with shelves, so I can cram a lot of stuff in there. Belgium Browning take-down 22. This is in the original shipping box from Canada, and the original Browning box, I don't know if this rifle has ever been put together. I never settled on one thing to collect so I have a little of a lot of things These pics came out as attachments instead of pics, and I did the same things I usually do when they come out as pics.

Here's one I've been saving. This Colt Official Police was at my grandmother's house when I was growing up. My granddad died at an early age and I didn't get to know him. He and his dad had a hardware store from 1914 until it burned in 1937. I always thought the Colt came from that store but was never sure. Last year I removed all doubt.
I forgot to point out, and it's hard to read on the letter, the Colt is caliber 32-20 Win. That's always intrigued me.

Rocky I would love to have something like that, I could fill to my hearts content. Tom that is so great about getting that letter. Has the cost for that gone up in the last few years? I know what it used to be.
