Just found out they are going to renovate the building my office is in. It was a german barracks built in about 1936. There are cutouts in the walls (only two or three left) where the troops would place their rifles when not in use. Each cutout still has the wooden places where the rifle butts would sit. Each has 8-12 places milled out for rifle butts. I HOPE I can get the construction guys to give the two to me that will be thrown away otherwise. I'll strip them down to the wood and then repaint with original colors. That would be a really COOL addition to a gun room some day. I'm stoked about this. Knowing my luck they'll do the demo while on leave...
