Guns

My wife’s bachelor uncle lived in a two-room cabin in western Arkansas. When he died in 2005, we decided to find his guns, rather than leave them in the cabin. After searching most of a day, we found them wrapped in a shower curtain in the loft of the tractor shed/carpentry shop. Normal rural Arkansas – 16-gauge dbl bbl, .410 single shot, .22 single shot, Winchester 74. Food-on-the-table weapons. From my wife’s grandfather, a .32 S&W nickel plated (sort of) and a .32 rimfire Remington Rolling Block. The grandfather grew up in west Arkansas/east Oklahoma in late 19th century. Also found a S&W K Frame, 4” barrel, we didn’t know her uncle had. Right alongside an unopened quart of Jack Daniels. Still got all the guns.
