[j j m 6,539]

my mate called me today up the caravan he says ive been clearing a old barn for a old couple and behind a old partition wall i found two very old air rifles he says one is ove 85 years old but hes not sure about the other one though its really old as well,he said there no good to me so when you get back you can have them ,one was wrapped in grease proof paper and the barrel had been plugged so nothing could go in it ,that one he said is in very good condition for its age,big shaun T is going to have a look at them to see what he thinks,ok for nothing

Makes you wonder why somebody would wrap a gun in grease proof paper then stash it in a wall ? stolen or something along those lines
