I always enjoy seeing pics of the vault. What a fantastic collection! I have one question, which rifle is your favorite?

Don, you set the bar very high! I understand the gov't is considering moving the gold reserves there. In my opinion the gold reserves are already there!

Nice! It looks better every time I see it! I've never been there but I've watched the process with envy.

Is that cloth machine gun belt hooked to a gun? And what is the manifold looking gizmo on the floor? Burner for a boiler?

Thanks for the update! You set a high standard.

Morning, Don. I didn't know you had the Lombards. I have 2 Lombards also. But mine are only 77 and 95CC's. What floor do you keep the chainsaws on. Please don't say under the front porch.


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Doug, The machine gun belt is by itself. A good friend of mine Ed Clark,now deceased gave it to me. He was in the merchant marine in the D-day invasion and picked it up off Omaha beach the day after the invasion. The candalabra thing is a investment casting from ruger arms it is 12 revolver frames that were no good so it got sent to the scrapyard where i got it. smile

"The Vault" is......................beyond comprehension. Does my heart good to view your collection. Wish someday could do it in person. You have your own personal Savage fest daily. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, that's an impressive collection of saws! What do the two big saws in the third picture weigh? Are they used by one man? They had to be a handful.

It's extremely memorable to see, and Loggah knows a whole lot of stuff. It's as much fun learning from Don as seeing the vault!

Thanks, Don. I had to add the chainsaws for Gary. He always enjoys rearranging a half dozen to get his gear in the back of my truck. I have a lot of those. I had a weak moment when I wanted to go to a big Savage collectors auction. I sold my Dad's Disston DA211.

Don-

That has to be the best museum EVER. It's great that everything is out where you can enjoy it rather than stuffed in a safe.
