Nice eye candy-can't believe I'm looking at a collection, not some gun shop or Savage Museum. Never see anything like that in my area, at least not talked of. Closet thing to this was a guy built his home in an area where I served as a police officer. When he built it, he built a concrete walk-in safe/vault. He collected Winchester's esp 1866-1894 lever guns with a healthy dose of Model 70's and Model 12's. Talked to a few that had seen it, was told it was eye popping of the number and condition. The guy invited me out several times, but I never took the time, wish I had. He sold off the collection some years back and retired to a normal house.

Okay, work is done bothering me for a bit I think. I've got a couple of new photos to put up especially for Loggah.. well, me too. Click for full sized. I don't believe there is one person on this forum that has EVER seen an ammunition collection of this magnitude. It is mind boggling.

I would go with that idea as well. I live in a burning ring of fire.

That's surreal, absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting all of this. That collection is dedication of the first magnitude. It would take me days to walk through slack jawed and mumbling the whole way.

He probably has one of the best Evans rifles collections going,they were built in Mechanic falls maine. Here ya go... don't see these every day. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen them except here. And some very nice Stevens... I think they're Stevens at least.
