Re: Wow Did you ever see this? Heston's!
An absolutely amazing collection....give me a fridge and a toilet in there....I would never leave...
Here's the skinny on the story....
"According to this message, which circulates via email and has also been posted to a number of firearms related forums and blogs, the attached photographs show a massive gun collection stored in the basement of a house owned by the late actor Charlton Heston.
Although the photographs themselves are genuine, many commentators have suggested that the gun collection actually belonged to the late Bruce Stern, rather than Charlton Heston. Mr Stern was a lifelong military and gun collector. An attorney and Vietnam veteran, he was involved in a number of military and firearms related organizations. He was a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) Board of Directors. Mr Stern passed away in July, 2007.
The Stern gun collection became famous among firearms enthusiasts. A portion of the extensive collection was auctioned off in March 2008 by James D. Julia Auctioneers. The auction, which included firearms from other collections as well as Stern's, raised a record-breaking $12.7 million. Photographs of items from the Stern collection are available on the Julia Auctions website. Another part of the Stern collection is set to be auctioned in October, 2008.
However, while many believe that the gun collection shown in the photographs was that of Stern's, this claim has never been conclusively validated and may not be true.
Others claim that the collection belongs to another gun collector, Robert L Starer of the Historic Arms Corporation, Virginia. However, this claim has also never been validated.
Although the gun collection featured in the photographs did not belong to Charlton Heston, the late actor was a passionate gun rights supporter and served as president and spokesman of the NRA from 1998 until 2003. He died in April 2008.
Misidentification of ownership aside, these photographs certainly reveal a truly remarkable collection. "

Re: Wow Did you ever see this? Heston's!
I know a fellow who has a vault like that. I was at his house and he said, "Do you want to see my gun safe." Being polite, I said, "sure" expecting to see big green box with a dial on the front. Wrong!
We went into his basement and there was this HUGE door set into the wall. It had to be 7' x 7' (in metric that's 847 femtaloons), with a huge wheel on the front. He spun the wheel and we walked into a room about the size of my house or so it seemed.
A bank near his house was going out of business so he bought their vault and had a contractor install next to his house.
Of course the danged thing was nearly full but there were no flame throwers.

Re: Wow Did you ever see this? Heston's!
Now I know why NFA items are so expensive, the majority of them are in some guys vault.
I bet the vault was not so much to the stuff in as it was to keep his wife out. If you have that kind of scratch a private security force would be a reasonable expense.Join the groups protecting your rights from the fools trying to take them from you!
