just to see all that stuff would take a month

Definitely prepared for the apocalypse this gent is by far, good friend bad enemy...............

"I have 100's of landmines all through the museum" that's one way to discourage break ins.

I honestly thought my collection was getting a bit large, guess I really need to step up my game that is just insane. I wonder where he gets the funds for that type of collection as he literally could arm at least 1000 soldiers likely more and have them pretty well equipped too.

Typical, he's a gun dealer and range so stuff comes by him. Obviously he's got substantial means...

There are some serious $'s there wonder if those 1000 pound bombs are live (filled) just about everything else is live I never realized the complete recoiless rounds were so big I have 2 empty cases here but the projectile is very big and to think the Ontos had 6 of them mounted, has anyone ever seen an Ontos in action or at all ? You maybe Jim.

I can not imagine that the 1000lb bombs are live - might be hard to get insurance with live munitions

I was in 106 Platoon for a stretch so I've participated in firing a 106mm but haven't seen the six fired like they could.

The ammo may be live but the bombs and the grenades won't be. No place on earth would allow grenades lying out where they could be handled in a museum setting. Live bombs would be a hazard in case of fire.

I thought this very same thing. While I believe he has a lot of stuff and a lot are probably legit, I also see a lot of chest thumping and gum bumping. Still one huge amount of stuff though

[browningautorifle]

And bags of M1 rifles...carbines everywhere... I wonder what the neatest piece he has is? It would take some looking to sort that out.
