when cleaning day doesn't go to plan

I had a day free to take care of some jobs, including emptying out the safes to give everything a good check over and oil up, before I go overseas.
It took an hour to get everything out because I kept stopping to fondle everything.
It took 2 hours to clean everything because I spent more time watching gun videos on you tube while holding rifles than actually oiling them.
And that was just the rifles. All the shotguns and pistols were another 2 hours.
I think I will just do one at a time in future.

You have a very nice collection thanks for sharing

Why one at a time - this is a fine way to spend a couple of hours

Nice! What make and calibre is the old Mannlicher, fifth from right? They were popular with English gunmakers in their day.

Oops, just had a second look and realise it is a Ross.

i wouldn't say it was time wasted.

Yep, a model 1910E. Sadly the bore is worn beyond use and flings bullets sideways. I'd love to get it bored out or something to make it useable.

Has that Trombone got a saddle mount for the scope?
I'd be interested in a pic of it
