Charleton Heston Gun Room

[actionflies]

Amazing!

I received this in an email. Is there any verifiable proof this is truly Helston's gun room? I've serious doubts.

did I need more reasons to love that man? No. On the same note, did I need more reasons to hate him! What a truly gorgeous and enviable collection.

Well it's someones collection, and damn if I don't wish it was mine.

It's the late Bruce Stern's collection (former NRA Director), not Heston's.

 

[Gunnerpalace]

I thought those guns looked familiar, (I looked at the auction catalog, that ain't even 40%)

 

[BrianB]

Yeah, I could care less who owns it. That's a great room and collection.

I've seen that picture before. But where I saw it it was toted as being the collection of some anti and that they're all made to not function any more or something like that.

It was a long time ago, though.

From the P38 Forum:

This room housed Bruce Stern's collection. He was an attorney, an NRA director, and a lifelong advocate of gun rights. He recently passed away; his collection was sold by Julia Auctions at the beginning of May.

These pictures only show some of the Class 3 stuff; he also had scores of U.S., German, Soviet, Japanese, and other sniper rifles as well as miscellaneous small arms from around the globe. A look at his collection was like a hands-on trip through the book "Small Arms of the World."

**** ton of World War 2 stuff.

You know, I had never seen these pics until sometime in like March, and now they're the subject of every 15th thread.

 

[Mt Shooter]

yup it has been done here at least twice that i know of.

 

[H088]

Think of how much ammo it would take to feed all those

 

[zoom6zoom]

I hope there's more, because I don't see a single handgun in any of those pictures!

We really should just sticky this thread at the top, It seems to come up about every 1-3 months . Also, I wish I was that person, hehe.

Also, I wish I was that person, hehe.

But then you'd be dead

 

[Marcus84]

Is that a flamethrower on the wall??

Yup

 

[bogie]

Flamethrowers ain't guns.

No background check.

No nuthin'.

Of course, you do get to pay for the gas...

This is the 4th time I've seen those pictures posted but the first time I heard who they belong(ed) to. Amazing collection. He must have been, um, doing well financially, to put it mildly. Unless he got the bulk of them before 86.

 

[VPLthrneck]

Yeah, I could care less who owns it. That's a great room and collection.

That says it all right there. If this is only part of it, I'd love to see the rest.

 

[lonegunman]

It looks like enough stuff for the Stern collection, but this would be the first place it has been called that.

These pics show up on every board twice a day as somebody's collection,,,the big question is who owned it and is it real?

....

*sigh*

i think i´d install the Maxim behind a glass wall opposite the frontdoor.

J´s Witnesses would be scared off once and for all


(.... i think i´d want a full collection of any AK model
ever produced, on one wall.)

Here a link to many of the things auctioned off:

Some collection. Love the naval water-tight door leading to what looks like another chamber. Some people have all of the really great toys...
