That was just your .22 safe, right?
Never know what you’re going to find

Think I see a blued Security Six far right on the top shelf?

I also like those "metro" (what Container Store calls them for 5% more than Lowe's
) shelf units. They are sturdy, accessorize well, and middling rugged. I do prefer the wrench-adjustable feet for uneven floors.
Oh, and never, ever go to Container Store for swivel casters for these--ouch!

Yes, it’s a stubby.

The giveaways were the very wide top strap (meaning Ruger) and the full grip frame (meaning not a GP100), lol.

Just that one KKW . Manufacture is Gustloff Werke. If I remember right it was made in 1932. It's unmolested and has the cleaning rod. There are two Brno ZKM 468 Garden rifles. They were made in Czechoslovakia and were marketed along the lines of pest control plinkers. They are single shot .22 LR and are perfect for throwing in the trunk and especially for teaching young shooters. They are extremely light and good little shooters.
There is one Marlin mod. 80 and two Glenfield 25s. The Marlin auto is a Mod. 75, made around 1972. it still has the Marlin sticker on the forestock.

I wish I’d bought a few of the training rifle 22 that were available in the eighties

I found some shotgun handguards and two barreled actions.
Not in the mood to do any cleaning or anything else right now. Spent two hours in the dentist chair today.

Just my guess, 870 or maybe 11-87, Wingmaster variety. But the action bars look too short for an 870. And I don’t remember my former 11-87 having “action bars”. Top would be to a Stevens/Springfield 311.
Btw, Gunny, really enjoying following this thread.

^^^ I just thought it looked too familiar, especially for Gunny's collection. Too lazy at this time to look at my shotguns now.

It’s a 870 handguard. It came from a 870 that was chopped up.

Been a little to busy to clean up or is it that I’ve been lazy.
Well I did sweep the floor today and looked around a bit to see if I missed a thing or two.
I do have these. The one on the left is dated Nov 73 (empty) the one on the right is dated Oct 74 (full).
I also have a baby can.
If I remember right, I used this back in the 80’s
Found another bag of LC 85 5.56 brass. These were fired from M16A2s

It never occurred to me to put rifles in the safe muzzle down, this must be how safe manufacturers measure how many rifles fit in a given model. I love seeing collections of old stuff like this, if your not gonna sell you could charge admission, thanks for sharing Gunny

Lake City brass introduced me to reloading.
I was a work-study at the University of Alabama Department of Space Management, charged with inspecting facilities throughout the campus. While inspecting the old ROTC firing range (now demolished), I checked the crawl space for fire hazards. What I found was crates, bags, baskets, and ammo boxes full of mixed brass, much of it from Lake City. After checking with the authorities I found that the stuff didn't officially exist and was considered to be hazardous materials as it may include live rounds.
I "abated their hazard", reloaded much of it, and traded the unusable stuff for sculptural materials at a local scrap yard.
Not only do you not know what you'll find, you never know where you will find it.
