Guess I'm not the only one who noticed. I wouldn't have been much more surprised if a Brown Bess was in the stash.

Never shot one. Seen one through glass. deactivated, in a museum. But some years back, looked at several part sets at a gun show. For a firearm made in the desperate part of WWII (for Britain), it was shockingly nice in fit and finish. The magazine housing was bronze!
