I like that nifty 1100 on the back wall, the DPMS 308 with rail system is pretty cool too, along with what looks like a pretty nice collection of FALs.

The 1100 is a Tim LaFrance SUPER NOVA. Pistol grip AOW with all the gas and recoil system relocated under the front handguard. Very hand with 5 shots of 000 buck fast as you can pull the trigger. Overall length just a tad over 20". Denny |

Now thats a man serious about his weapon-building. It helps to show the grease under your nails once in a while to the customer-- to let him know your not a broker but a builder I know who I'd call ............... |
|
|
Redfisher,
I hadn't thought of that but yeah, we aren't putting your custom weapon together on the kitchen table Denny |
|
What's that anti tank rifle in the corner? It kind of looks like a Boyes but I can't quite tell. |
|
|
I love that 10.5" with the DD 9.5. Got to get me one like it...

Sharp eyes brother. That is a CZ25 hanging muzzle down. The Anti-tank rifle is a British Boyes we converted to .50BMG for shits and grins. Kept the original brake, in fact it works real well. That is an M14E2. Yep grease gun and a line of Steyr Mp81i's. MP40. There are tons of other stuff but the picture sucks. Not seen are some other pretty rare stuff. A Soviet Stechkin machine pistol 9X18, a full auto Beretta 92F with two suppressors, etc, etc. One of these days I need to drag it all out and take some good photos of all the stuff and post them on the website as a reference for guys. I lost about 300 pictures of machineguns I have owned and sold over the years in a total hard drive crash in Feb. 2002. I didn't back up the drive and all was lost. Some really rare guns. Russian Maxims, Vickers, 1917 (not A1) made by NE Westinghouse Ser #13 and on and on. Denny |

Oh yeah I forgot, that is a Swedish K. There are some UZIs hanging around 2 full size, one with buttstock QD and one with a suppressor, a Mini and a closed bolt Micro. The Mini with a Gemtech Mini-Mossad is my favorite UZI, but I trust them all to work in all situation.

Damn...... do you have some nice toys or whatheading!!!!!!
|
|
Do you ever roll out the sleeping bag and sleep in there or have slumber parties?
|
|
Good lord I wish that was my basement. You would make Diane feinstien' head explode.
|

Oh yeah, that isn't a Benelli receiver. It has a barrel, it just ends at the end of the magazine tube. We even re-soldered the front sight on and re-parked the barrel. 6 shot with one on the lifter. Cool little hammer. I like to carry it in the Yukon when we are transporting. Its real handy if ya need to hang one out the window real quick.

I like it a lot. Very quiet and compact and will take sustained full auto fire. Really quiet if you add a little oil or water. Pricey however at around $1K.

Nice to have some pics to go along with our conversation about "The Vault" a few weeks back.
Denny knows his shit. |
|
|
Dang, I knew Denny had some cool stuff out in the store but wow! Do you recontour barrels, i.e. heavy carbine to gov't profile??? |
|
What? |
|
|
look at the left side of the photo |

|
Wow, and I thought the vault at the Dillon factory was cool - well, they did have a few miniguns!
|
|
That "space" is the top of the gun rack. There are more guns on the other side. |
|
There are twice as many guns on the other side.
The vault is constructed of concrete block. The holes in the block are slugged(filled with concrete) We then inserted 1" rebar in the slugged holes, then wire mesh is laid between each layer of block. The ceiling is 6" pan form heavily reinforced with lots of steel and sets on top of the concrete walls. There are no gaps. The door is a Mosler 5 hour fire door with 360 degree lugs. This vault sets inside our building which is also concrete with huge steel I beams and completed with a panform roof. We have a 2 panel alarm system with 38 zones and a line sniffer and hard wired to the local PD dispatch on a dedicated line. All in all she is one tough mother. Denny |

Hey Denny, iff'n I was lookin' to buy myself a can, would you be the man I should see about such a thing?
|
|
Corporal
I can hook you up with a can. We have all makes available and I can also steer you away from the junk. BTW You guys want more vault pics? How about more of the shop? Denny |
|
Sure. I enjoy porn of all kinds - gun, trucks, women. |
|
|
If you get many visitors in the vault, you must keep a mop and bucket around just to clean up all the drool. LOL
Great pics and I'm jealous. I think I could spend a week in there and not get bored. I'd also love to see more pics. God Bless America where we can own toys like these. |
|
IM sent! I would also love to see more pics. Lets get some of the other side of the vault, the shop, and some more detailed ones of those guns if ya can. |
|
|
I would not want to get caught climbing over that wall......would you? |
|
|
Breaking into our vault is a no no. The guns are the least of your problems. We have lots of big power tools, welders, blow torches, vise grips..................... |

Why would you rob a gun store? That just sounds like a bad idea to begin with.
Like that one guy that tried to rob that gun shop with a knife. |
|
Robbing a gun store is kinda like robbing a Police Dept. at least while we are open. All the staff up front carries a side arm at all times.
Fred, Mike and I don't, we we do have folding stock 12" bbl 870's close at hand in the back. In the event someone does get stupid up front we have a series of silent alarms in the back that will alert us to a problem up front. These are LED strobes that flash in my office, the shipping room and all the machine and gunsmith areas to alert us. If they are armed I will shoot what ever side is to me. Front, back, side, doesn't matter. 000 buck is hard on ya. We had one triggered by accident a couple of years ago. I circle the building and enter the front door and Fred enters from the door to the shop area in back, giving us a cross fire. Man, when I yelled "Everybody down!" whilst pointing a sawed off 870 Rem I was sure we were gonna have to call a carpet cleaner Turned out an employee was rummaging around under the register for a catalogue and hit the big red button and didn't know he did it.

Hehe.....great story, great pics Denny!! I bet some guys needed to clean out there shorts after that. |
|
|
Oh, don't worry we have the "Family Pack" sized pepper cannisters at strategic locations in the shop
I also have several CS grenades in the vault, as well as smoke. Also flares and CS for my M79. Ya never know. Denny |
