I buy storage lockers at auction on occasion, more for entertainment or because I personally want items in the unit.

The bigger purchases include an over the road coach bus (now RV), and a drive through coffee kiosk business.

Although I have opened safes for other auction buyers which have had firearms inside, I have never purchased a unit myself with firearms until yesterday. My first locker with a gun.

I text my other half, and she replies that she hopes it wasn't used to kill anybody. I told her that I highly doubted it. I think this locker owner used to work for HK.

Or he was a lieutenant in the service.

Sir, that's not a gun. That's just a clipazine.

Seriously though... Let's see the gun.

An ex HK Photographer?

That there is definitely one of them clipazine's... High Capacity for sure!

In those safe's you opened for other auction buyers, was there ever anything really cool or surprising in theirs?

Could be easier to load that way.

I'm still having trouble with a drive through coffee kiosk in a storage unit, how much coffee you'd have to drink, and where on the property to put it. With all the stuff my wife orders, I could probably make a few bucks with just the FedEx, UPS, and Amazon drivers.

Most empty, some with a gun or two. Once a guy had $20-$30K worth of guns in one after already selling another $20-$30K that were in cases outside of the safe.

He paid $70 for it. Was not a typical storage unit, but one of those PODS that gets dropped off and picked back up.

We really haven't gone through all of it yet, but the handgun we found is a 9mm FEG P9R. We have also found .38, .357, and .32 ammo, so it's possible there are more to be found.

There are plenty of places that rent storage inside of large warehouses or in open outdoor lots. It's not just the small lockers at your traditional self storage facilities (although that's 95% of them).

New topic in the Pistols section:

"My FEG P9R keeps failing to feed hollowpoints, even while hand-cycling... Do you think I need to polish the feed ramp?"

I bought a gun off a guy who got it in a storage locker auction

Was a 44 special triple lock that had been cut down to 3 inches and the blade sight had been re-welded onto the barrel. Fun little boomer for $250 bucks about 20 years ago.
