For those interested, some of the guns in the estate of Bill James will be auctioned off on January 19, starting at 10:00am at "The Arms Room", 3270 Gulf Freeway South, League City, TX 77573.
Many of you know that he was, until his death, the owner of The Arms Room gun store/range and a longtime member of the Houston Gun Collectors Association. The auction is for many of those guns in the private, not for sale, section of the store. It was kind of a museum of old military rifles that he had collected and allowed the general public to view.
The items will can be viewed trough the following link. Please be warned, some of the descriptions may not be accurate and the word "clip" is used many times when "magazine" would have been more appropriate. (So matefrio, take you blood pressure pills before clicking below

Items For Sale At Auction - Personal Gun Collection of Bill James/Arms Room in League City, TX
Don't worry about me being there and taking your dream rifle out from under you. First some idiot scheduled it on the same day as the big HGCA gun show at Reliant Center. They want a $100 deposit just to get a chair. There will be a 10% buyers premium and a $35 transfer fee on the sales. Many of these guns were at the last HCGA show and did not sell due to being marked well over market value IMHO.
Check out what they are calling a machine gun heat sink in the above link....................you would think that they would use someone with a clue about guns to at least check the descriptions.
(I think it's a expended casing from a M40 recoiless rifle, LOL, but wonder what you guys are thinking.)
