Ever seen a Collector's Collection?

[Sam]

If you guys are ever in Morro Bay, stop by Harbor Guns. I think it's just a guy's collection and a place to store it. The owner doesn't talk to you, hardly acknowledges you, certainly doesn't want to sell anything. I don't think there is anything in there newer than 1950 and most is 1800-1920.

Does he actually do any business? I've gone past that shop a few times every year for the past 10 years or so and I've never seen any customers. I wanted to go in the last time I was in town but I guess I was too early for the store owner.

The store owner is interesting to look at also. He looks like the safari hunter in Jumanji.

OT: Bridge Sportsman's Center is Paso Robles is the best shop in the county. Really great people working there.

There is I think the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody, Wyoming was the biggest collection that I have ever seen. Rooms and rooms and rooms and rooms full of firearms and they even had a Boon and Crockett World Record room. Simply awesome!!!!

I have an invite to see a collector's collection. He apparently has a warehouse.

I know a guy that has a walk-in Vault in his home, with the most beautiful collection of high grade shotguns you have ever seen.

The old Abercrombie and Fitch in New York had a whole floor dedicated to high-end Shotguns and Hunting Rifles, a sight to behold, the engraving was true art.

You guys have to read the history of A&F - they had 12 floors for their New York location, housed a shooting range, and one whole floor was dedicated to firearms.

Thank you for the compliment. I just finished a 91/30 I bought 15 years ago. I refinished it then with linseed oil, did not know anything about taking out dents and finishes.
BTW it's nice to meet younger guys that have a passion for our sport and the old guns.

Hey, you can talk Mosins or old guns with me any day of the week!

Too bad with the changes -

I passed through NYC in 1972 and spent a few hours drooling on the Firearms and Outdoor Camping floors. This simple California boy was amazed they had such stuff in the City.
