Now that looks familiar. Yours is better equipped than mine, but it has a familiar (comfortable) level of clutter.

A small part of my library: The top two and a half shelves are all books on Custer and the LBH fight.

That's all real fine, Dead I & Shrapnel!

That, my friend, is my dream room. I love the furnishings, not to mention the firearms and decorations!

Thank you, Dirty Brass. I've lived in the West and Midwest and for 65 years I've haunted old junk stores and collected stuff. I sit up there and read all day long, and fiddle with this damn machine. It makes me comfortable to be surrounded by these old guns and books. I'm happy as a clam at high tide in that room. My wife walks in there and just rolls her eyes.

Actually my gun room is quite small, a safe. I can't put anything out in a room in the hose as it is full of dead animals. However, I do display at gunshows...

I've just looked over this thread again and I'm blown away by some of you guys' collections. Just fantastic. When I was about four my dad took me to the Boot Hill Museum and cemetery in Dodge City. There was a square hole in the floor and at the bottom was a skeleton. My dad called me over to look at it, and when I peeked down into that opening (covered with glass) my hair stood straight up! I recall it like it was yesterday. There were many old west guns on the walls and in cases. At that moment I became infected with the old gun disease. It has been nearly fatal. The guns, their history, and shooting them is as much fun as this old man has today. I also like model trains, airplane models, books about flying, westerns and old record players. I used to wonder when I'd grow up. Now that I'm creeping up on 70 I know when I'm going to grow up....it ain't a gonna happen.

Oh me oh my! That is sad!!! Years ago I came home and found my front door kicked open and many wonderful old guns were gone. A wonderful 72 trapdoor carbine, a very nearly minty Spencer, an absolutely new but old Maynard, my cased Navy Colt, and a great 76 Winchester. I miss the 76 most, but they were all great guns. I lost my granddad's Model 11 shotgun and a bunch of newer guns too.

But a fire! That's just horrible too. You lose everything. I'm sorry it happened to you.

Major 2 · January 12, 2011, 01:23:31 PM

I did lose a TTN SXS and 6 boxes of AA Target loads and brick of 22 Long Rifle
My Clay pigeon flyer and 4 cans of BP not all were full though.

All my other guns are in the safe in the House ( the building was detached )

I lost all my long list of power tools & hand tools ,my leather working tools and side of leather.
also 3 saddles & tack and some holsters $:-\$

I had just bought the AA loads

and the neighbors

(acres away) were quite alarmed with the cook offs.

Okay, I finally got some pictures taken on my Bat Cave (Wife says I'm batty enough to qualify), and emailed them to myself. Now, I know it's been covered more than a few times, but how do I link them to this site from an iMac using Juno email? (Use small, one syllable words. I don't speak computer.)
