At the back of the safe...
Twice a year I pull all guns from the safe and inspect them, wipe them down, and run a swab down the barrels. I really should sell some, but each has a story.
Here's a nice 20 bore J. Y. Potter that I've had for years. I have killed quail with it, but it carries and is choked like it should be a 'cock gun. I'm leaving it close to the safe door and plan to take it our for home covert woodcock this coming Fall.
