| I am a certified firearms instructor and range safety officer, as well as a federally licensed firearms collector. My collection ranges from single action revolvers and leveraction rifles of the "wild west" to polymer framed handguns and M16's of today, with a little of everything in between. If you were to "clasify" my collection I would say it is primarily military arms of the two World Wars. My entire collection consists of live firearms, my collection is more than just something to look at. Some of them are shot more often than others, but all are completely functional and safe to fire. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This picture is of my US WWII arms. In the back is an M2 Carbine (the selective fire version of the M1 Carbine developed at the end of the war). Below that is a Smith and Wesson lend lease "Victory" revolver, then my Browning 1919A4 (this is actually a semi-auto I built), then the popular 1911A1 government pistol, finally a Springfield M1 Garand our main battle rifle of WWII. Not pictured is my M50 Reising SMG. |

| These are what we were up against. This is a picture of my German WWII arms. In front are a pair of K98's thier main battle rifle of WWII. Above those to the left is a late war Walther PPK, and to the right is a S/42 (Mauser produced) Luger. In the back is a real prize. That is an bnz (Styer produced)MP-44 Sturmgewehr (storm rifle), the world's first true assualt weapon, virtually all modern weapons copied something from the MP-44. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The final grouping shown are the predaccessors of the German WWII arms. As this is a picture of my German WWI arms. In front is the "father" of the K98 an Erfurt Kar98a. Behind that is my S&H Berlin produced MG08/15. You may have noted my web page ends in "mg08_15" which comes from my fondness for the Maxim MG08/15. Hiram Maxim designed the first successful machinegun in the late 1800's, the MG 08/15 came shortly there after in 1915. Despite weighing about 50 pounds the Maxim MG08/15 is the light machine gun version of the MG08 heavy machinegun. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do I really have "live" Machineguns???? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes, I own real "live" Machineguns. Since 1934 machineguns have been heavily regulated by the Federal Government. Since 1986 no new machineguns may be made for the general public, but those available to the public prior to 1986 remain transferable. To own a transferable machinegun you must be fingerprinted (in duplicate), complete a form which requires two photographs (mug shots), have your local police chief sign off on the form, pay a $200 transfer tax and pass an extensive FBI/BATF background check, the entire prossess takes at least 3 months, and must be done for each gun. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
