Got a bunch of lever actions, many of them antiques, a bunch of shotguns, same scenario, some bolt rifles, some semi auto rifles, many pistolvers, and some that load themselves after the first shot; but one thing I never got around to getting for my safe is a "black rifle". Always within reach are a 1911 of one pattern or another, and my favorite old 1897 Winchester short barreled shotgun.

Sure would like to see pics of the Shotgun! I've got my grandfathers Model 1898 Winchester 12 gauge...I remember hunting with it as a kid and a guy literally running across the field asking me if I wanted to sell it!..lol
