Check again, I bet they are not completly white. |

There was a guy in Murfreesboro TN that had a collection similar to that. He had so many that he had to have 2 walk in safes put in his garage.
The collection was pretty impressive. Lots of original Sharps. A number of MG's also. |
|
Some one is a WWII gun buff.
And who wouldn't have that collection if they had the money? |
|
Typical more money than brains rich person......If I wanted to enjoy my gun room I sure wouldnt be flying around in some MU-2.
|
|
I've heard so many peoples names that own that collection.Can we finally get the REAL name so we can settle this for once and for all and no its not Charelton Heston's collection...
|
|
His name was Bruce Stern www.nrawinningteam.com/bios00/stern.html |
|
|
I would give a right nut for one of those M2s hanging on the wall
|
|
Well if he's flying a MU-2 odds are good he's no longer alive |
|
|
I got a sharp knife right here. |
|
|
Bruce Durn that was in the Cowboy's with John Wayne? |

|
I added the link from the NRA It's Bruce Stern www.nrawinningteam.com/bios00/stern.html |

I bet there are a lot of collections like that in places you wouldn't expect. You just don't hear of them/see them.
|
|
No kidding. I met him in Albany once, he talked to me for 15-20 minutes, real nice guy, didn't know he had such a crazy collection, he died last year sometime. |

i see it too. i also see you using mjohn's avatar. |
|
|
Fairly new pic also. Thee rifle is an M107 clone they started putting out. |

On a shortfield take-off Vr was above V1. Risky. But good for short runway lengths. Designed in Japan and built in America. |

|
Im just borowing it till mines done... |

The Champlins collection was something to see when it was at their fighter museum in Mesa, Arizona. It made Sterns' look small.
....and Sterns didn't have a FW190 Dora. |
|
yup...but I drool each time... |

Quoted:
On a shortfield take-off Vr was above V1. Risky. But good for short runway lengths. Ummm....Vr is pretty much always above V1. I haven't flown an airplane yet were it wasn't...nor do I think there is an explanation where it's possible. Are you thinking Vr was before Vmc? Vmc being "velocity minimum control"...as in enough airspeed to keep the rudder effective if one engine is lost? That I could see...and you are right if that is the case. That opens up a nasty little opportunity for flopping upside quickly....but fortunately, turbines help negate that risk a lot. |

yeah - and I just noticed the hatch-type door - where the fuck did the guy get the time and money to do this. I'm guessing the hatch is to protect from the elements, that the range has just been dug out underneath the house. |
|
|
Even Steyr-Aug doesn't have a collection like that. Oh mi gawd, what guns! What guns! He has a nice touch with that ship-like hatch to the range and considering its 1,600 sq feet, that's bigger than what I've got for a house. Kudos to him for investing his money and safeguarding his loot. Now, may I come and play at his house?

Sorry that was written at 4 am. On a short field Mu-2 takeoff the Vmc speed is above the Vr (rotation speed). Therefore if you lose an engine the only thing you could do is reduce power on the good engine and crash level straight ahead or not reduce throttle and crash straight ahead upside down. for Ref: V1 speed, the minimum speed at which an aircraft pilot may continue a takeoff after the failure of the most critical engine) |

I saw this yesterday. |

antiquesandthearts.com/Antiques/AuctionWatch/2008-05-06__15-12-28.html
Auction was worth 12.7 million |
|
Yeah kind of strange there isnt even one in the collection I see a ruger AC556 Also one of those beretta BM59(?) |
|
|
I think some of you would be amazed at the collections that many have....that don't post on ar15.com .
I know of 3 1500+ sq foot vaults in my area (2 of which are completely hidden) with millions of dollars of weapons. The one was a big time builder in the area who recently passed, and now nobody knows what to do with the guns . I'm still working on that one! |
