Some guys just don't have any class at all.

Okay, I admit to a *leetle* bit of envy...

But the indoor rifle range is just... pretentious, yannowhutImean?

Yeah, but did that guy's wife buy him a Vickers and a Maxim?

It's a good thing ya'll moved out of suburbia. I kept waiting to hear reports of a wild man using a mortar to keep "those darn kids outa my yard!"

Nah, that would be the miniguns that fire BBs, BS.

Good Lord. Looks like a wing of the Army Ordnance Museum. Does he charge for admission?

Well, not sure who paid for 'em, but she allowed him to have *several* Maxims, to include a very early one, and a lot of other fun guns. So, she can't be *all* bad... Even if each of those was a semi-auto or a dewat, there is a *lot* of money in that basement.

Are those...Reisings? (Upper left, last pic) If all those MGs are functional MGs...that's a metric BUTTLOAD of money in that basement.

Yes, HL, I believe they are. And they would be among the cheaper items in that room. I just saw some for sale at $6500...

I can't see the pics due to the local restrictions but if the guy has an indoor rifle range, he's my hero. I'm mighty happy in my humble abode and it would take a great big reason for me to pack up and move again. But a shooting range, especially a year-round, indoor shooting space- that might do it. Of course moving to new digs would would reduce the amount of $$ I have for ammo monthly and having a place to shoot every night after dinner would make it harder for me to afford the heavier house note.

Interesting you can't see the pics - they come from the same server the page does. Must be blocking the img tags or something. I'll email 'em to you.

That guy has more BARs than your average college town has bars...

Looks like a perfectly normal, nicely done gun room, except for the ostentatius marble floors. Otherwise, everything is as it should be. I think I gotta show these to my wife. The TV home and garden channel never quite shows places like this, and I know she would love the decorating tips to spruce up our humble abode. I do know TWO people who have their very own personal indoor ranges! No, I regret that I am not one of them ;-(

I've got *room* to build a 50 foot range, I suppose. I'm not sure the sheetrock lift will handle the steel plates for the ceiling...

I do not understand why you'd need steel plates for the ceiling. You and the Missus are good shots (I've seen the targets y'all have posted) and surely you wouldn't invite anyone to shoot inside your house unless and until you already knew and trusted them, pretty well? Well, yeah, clear Interior Guard out of overhead room when shooting, in case somebody has heart attack or really bad sneeze at exactly the moment the trigger breaks....

Oh, BTW, did y'all know that "Murder in the Gun Room", by H. Beam Piper, is available free-fer-nuthin at Gutenberg? The early-fifties prices for precious old pieces, mentioned in that work, will just make you weep. Oh, there's a bayonet murder in there, too.
