And again. And I'll probably have to expand it. In fact I know I will, it just got mostly done and I'm still short two racks. It went from this and this to this and this. Then, we installed this. And it became time to load the Arms Room of Argghhh!!! So, step in the door, then turn to your right, head down the hall, turn around and look back up towards the door. The Exterior Guard took a tour of the internal defenses. And the Arms Room hosted our first visitors.

Nanny-nanny-boo-boo. Heh. I'm not even into guns and I was impressed. Thanks for the tour and the shooting lesson. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-66001 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-66001 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:22:07 -0600 Wow.

May I offer a copy of the history of Watervliet Arsenal to your collection? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65953 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65953 Mon, 29 Oct 2007 00:30:01 -0600 John - that's an impressive display, and a fine room to show off your beauties :-) Best part is, I know you can tell the story of each one. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65952 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65952 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:30:29 -0600 I have a hard-on just looking at the room. Then you go and fill it up.....we the rest is history. Thanks for showing what a vault of "Freedom" looks like. Go Yank Go. This Canuck stands by you. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65950 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65950 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:23:54 -0600 Oh, the REME museum has a pretty good collection, so does the Infantry Museum at Fort Benning. And the Springfield Arsenal Museum, and the JM Davis Gun Museum near Tulsa. Put those on your list...! But thanks! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65949 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65949 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 22:06:34 -0600 John, The only place that I have seen a more varied collection of hand-held weaponry, is the arms museum at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, in Maryland. Where they arguably have the largest collection in the US, if not the world Dang, never thought that I would see that out of a private citizen. :) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65948 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65948 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:50:51 -0600 Well, from "B's" perspective, we screwed up the design by covering over the studs and joists with drywall - just *think* of all that storage space we let go to waste! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65947 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65947 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:28:51 -0600 Remember this "I have more guns than I need, but not as many as I want!" I envy your beautiful room! Plenty of room left. If you need help squeezing more in, your buddy "B" knows how to fill a gun room. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65945 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65945 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 19:15:09 -0600 Holy crap! What are you going to do with all that stuff? Invade Iceland or something?!?!?? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65944 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/finally_again_w.html#comment-65944 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 17:47:03 -0600 Sweet!
