Carter's Gun Shop in Shabonna,IL. Wood beamed ceilings, ancient oak flooring. All the wonderful smells as mentioned in other posts.

This used to be the shop to go to if one wanted to check out an assortment of 99s and in the process see a Remington 141 and a number of Model 12s. It is further out in the countryside and I assume he got most of the firearms from older farmers, estate sales, etc.

Was in there last autumn and the selection had dwindled considerably and the counter man no longer there. The owner appears to keep busy gun smithing, however it was sad to see.
