	I was prompted to post some photos of a few rifles on another forum but think that there would be interest in them here as well. The pictures were taken with my phone so aren’t top quality.

	Huvius, I saw your post on another forum - I drooled then and these are causing it to happen again! To steal a line used before, I must be level headed because drool is coming out of both corners of my mouth... Thanks for sharing them here. Regards, Greg

	Thanks for the comments! I’ve been collecting for about twenty years and have actually thinned a little in the last couple. My focus is more on pre 1898 and black powder cartridge rifles now. In fact I think only three of the rifles pictured are post 1898.

	That looks like a fairly substantial retirement fund in those photos! Gorgeous rifles, all of them ...

	Love that Swinburn. Would you mind posting a closeup of the action engraving and the barrel/action join? Thanks.

This Swinburn has a much more glossy finish to the action than most British guns. Totally original though I think.

	Absolutely fantastic. That’s a lot of Alex Henrys in one place. Kudos to you sir. Not easily gathered even with a large account to work with.
