"Murder In The Gunroom"

...Is a story by H. Beam Piper about...Yes, a gun collector's murder...

Someone here had mentioned it some time back, I made a mental note to see if I could find it...

...And while browsing The Gutenberg Project for Rick Brant and Brains Benton mysteries, I saw "Murder In The Gunroom"...

It free to download and read at your leisure; I choose the text format and read them with Notepad++ so I can keep track of what page I've left off at...

Anyway, here it is -

Hmmmm...It seems to be his 2nd most popular download...

I read a lot of science fiction back in the 50's and 60's, and have several of Pipers novels in my permanent collection...And now I see that Gutenberg has the Rick Brant science mysteries too! Oh be still my heart!

There are a number of formats available from Gutenberg.

You may find a free opensource program useful for reading and working with E-Books. It's called "Calibre" and can be downloaded from the project's website:
