Yes they do exist and not just on TV. A buddy called and said he inherited a small building that had a gun shop in it years ago, and some guns and ammo was still there. Yup i want to see it and soon. So today i met him there. He said the roof had leaked and small critters were living inside and everything was rusty or moldy. I still want to see. I was amazed with what i saw. Throwback in history, just like they shut the door and left. Now a few guns were removed before i went in but i liked what i saw. I found ammo that i haven't seen in many years as well as a pile of military turnbolts. Nice ammo boxes with great color and still full. I took home a 1916 98 Mauser action that i needed for my .22-250 conversion. There also was a Jap rifle with the mum stamp still on the receiver. A pile of old air rifles that i knew nothing about but i am sure someone is looking for those models. Stocks some still wrapped in factory paper and some blanks. So anyway here are some pics. Enjoy...Bob
