Gun Case
In the police stations armory several shotguns and rifles are seen.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing From left the right. A Mossberg 500, Winchester 1894, two Mossberg 500's. The last firearm in the rack is a shotgun and it appears to me to be a Winchester Model 12 from the barrel, magazine tube, and how they are attached to one another. The first to last is a rifle of some sort. It almost appears to be a M1 carbine derivative.
