My armory

So I bought a new house a couple months ago and thought I'd post up some pics of the armory.

Wow, impressive. I like the armory / wine cellar combo especially.

Perfect temp and humidity for both items, it's working out nicely.

very nice.
aside from I think you might be a beretta snob when it comes to handguns but the XDM kindof redeems it

also what's with all the AR lowers with no uppers? most people with half an AR usually have a single lower and multiple uppers, not the other way around. the zipgun is interesting, how do you like it? does it have any practical use or is it just a fun way to blast through 25 rounds of 22LR?

kudos on the M1, I am starting to like mine a lot.

Reloading setup is next. You don't have nearly enough ammo.

Tanhuna. I am a beretta fan but there's a couple glocks, sigs, Ruger, FN, keltec, naa as well as the xdm. Equal opportunity gun nut.

The zip is just an interesting gun. Fun to plink with and might be more accurate with better sights.

Bought the lowers way before the buying craze when they were cheap. Haven't gotten around to buying or building uppers.

Re: My armory

Your neighborhood liberal news would call it an arsenal - a term I have no problem with when used correctly.

Wow, I have less guns AND less wine than you do. And by that I mean ZERO guns (sad) and two bottles of wine.

Nice setup though and obviously took a lot of time to acquire (the guns, not the wine - hehehe).

I made the wine myself, except for about eight bottles. I guess you can call it reloading!

It took a while to get all that but in retrospect I think it was worth it. I haven't bought a gun in months and I've had more then enough ammo to shoot as much as I want without having to pay the crazy prices. It hurts to spend 4, 5 600 bucks on ammo but if you can find a good deal jump on it. The prices never go down. Heck one of the beretta's I've never shot bought it because yeah I like them but LGS gave me a deal and Beretta had a rebate.

It's people like you that scare me, and by that I mean purchasing a gun just because you like it. I could see myself going down that path someday. Maybe that first gun purchase isn't such a good idea.

That's when all the trouble starts, like taking that first drink. (LOL)

Hi my name's coach Z and I have a problem.

There are ten boxes of .50 on that shelf and I don't own a .50..... But they were on sale! And I really really do want a .50 but my state has outlawed them

Trade them in on 338 Lupua, it will be hard to tell the difference.

Do your firearms stay out like that, or do you keep them secured in a safe? I'm about to outgrow my safe and was thinking of doing something similar with shelves and a reenforced door.

Guns & wine! Now all you need is a comfy chair to sit in there for a little "sip & visit".

My armory

Texas- this is behind two very secure doors with motion sensors and video surveillance that I can track online. The room is more like a vault.

I do have a very large desk with a stereo on it in the other side of the basement where I can clean and tinker with all the guns. Wet bar and couch around the corner from there for further festivities.
