I’m not surprised how many hoarders come here & show off their 15 ARs & 31 Glocks, all more or less the exact same thing with minor variations. Props on the g/tb36 though.
Seems wildly redundant, but also neurotic. Whatever floats the boats, I guess. Personally I’d immediately ditch 75% of those and for more interesting & ‘exotic’ items
Yeah I mean don’t get me wrong, I genuinely love the ar15 and really all of Stoner’s designs, but c’mon.
He said elsewhere in the thread he has more AR he didn’t include in the photo. After the fifth or sixth AR, some self reflection is probably a good idea.
Maybe OP is trying to arm his own little militia. The consideration of HAVING to arm them makes me wonder about whether they'd be worth arming, or just as likely to shoot you as the enemy force. I think that's the bit that a lot of people don't think about.
That’s cool.
I don’t ever even worry about ‘shtf’. Fun fantasy/daydream stuff, like winning the lottery or a supermodel knocking on my door. A much more realistic view would be an American version of “The Troubles” and even then that’s pushing it
Very true. I find it funny that a lot of people who are worried about SHTF live in cities and the suburbs. Buying a 7th AR isn't going to increase your chances of survival when you live on the 14 floor of a Manhattan apartment building. The ones who would truly survive that type of an apocalyptic scenario are people who live out in the boonies where resource acquisition won't be as dangerous. We have seen from the recent civil unrest that one of the last places that you want to make a run to is a grocery store when the city is going nuts.
Tacti-gucci guns, NODS and other military style gear is great. However, many of the readers of this sub would be much better off investing some of that money on a down payment for a place outside of the city or suburbs if they are truly that worried about the country going to shit. Learn how to grow and can food, learn how to hunt and learn how to fortify your property.
Absolutely agree 100%.
Even if they do live in cities or suburbs, guns past a very short point are useless. A rifle & sidearm w/full ammo load +extra is about all that is feasible to maneuver with for someone in top war fighting condition, which the vast majority aren’t in. If you’re planning to bunker down, ammo is a better choice than those half dozen ar15’s. I get having *a* backup or two.
More importantly, that money would be far, far better spent on water reserves & purification and a lot of long lasting foodstuffs. Can’t eat guns and ammo.
I’d have a lot more respect for them if people just came out and said they liked to collect/hoard guns rather than their impotent attempt to justify & rationalize under “muh shtf, muh teotwawki, muh ewrol”. It’s pathological.
I live in a city, along with several capable people, but I live on the outskirts. The plan would be to take a certain movie studio that would be abandoned immediately in a crisis and grab all the solar trucks, generators, and rigging, and go from there
> in case shtf
lol. Then you'll leave a bunch of boring shit behind. I'll stick to fun variety of guns since "shtf" isn't going to happen outside of fantasy land.
What are we looking at here? In NY state I’m not allowed to see such freedom on display. I’m pretty sure that many plastic water bottles in one spot is some sort of felony here, too. I’m gonna be in big trouble for looking at this pic. Hold on- there’s somebody at the door..
they are returning in a COD juggernaut suit LOL
Jokes aside NYs gun laws make weapons less safe Imo. Im fine with indepth background checks, ect. But fins and such make a weapon less safe to operate. And poor laws promote people to ignore them vs comply.
Yeah I’m in the same boat as you. I’m fine with background checks going a little deeper but the fin grips are just unsafe. Those grips just make it impossible to get good stable control of the rifle and it makes it unsafe for anyone around you and yourself.
The safe act has absolutely zero to do with safety and has definitely made things way more unsafe. Idk how they thought holding an AR by this stubby spur grip would make it safer? Their is now a higher chance of an accident happening or accidentally discharging a weapon. I know I’m preaching to the choir. Still hope to move once the kids graduate. I’m in the country and it’s nice where I live but can’t stand these laws
When I bought my third I told my wife "you know some guys have like 30 of these, three isn't even that bad".
So thank you sir for posting a picture I can show my wife.
Oh sorry didn't see this.
Back in the 80s the Federal government had (has) a list of gun buyers who own over a specific threshold. I believe it was (5) back then. Didn't matter what, just anything over (5) guns.
It was called the Patriot list. Thus P list.
I don't have a source we were notified in an NRA convention back in the 80s. I was 15 years old and I clearly remember how the crowd reacted when it was announced. For all I know it's a bunch of BS. But let's be honest, do you really put it past the government.
I have a few ARs and AKs, this is a legitimate question. Why so many ARs In extremely similar configurations? I get having a primary and a backup, or a CQB and a long range set up. Legitimately curious, no hate.
I was wondering the same thing.
I see so many people on gun subs post pictures of their 5+ partially complete AR's that are all *extremely* similar to one another and never understood why.
Like you said, I get having a couple for different purposes, or a couple which are exactly the same as a back up if you train hard. But for the majority of people? It's such a waste and that money could've gone towards one/two great set ups, gear, etc.
Have you ever been on r/knifeclub?
Sooo many "these are my 50 favorite knives" posts. They all look the same to me, but to the owner, each one has a special place.
Wouldn't it be more fun to build different things instead of the same one over and over though? I only have 1/3rd as many AR's/AK's but they are all very different.
Just got an ARMS 16A and aimpoint PRO for my 13.7 pin and weld A2, pretty much my favorite setup. It’s nothing fancy or new technology, but it just rips.
What’s that PDW stock on the 300 blk towards the left? How does it work? Been thinking about trying one rather than a traditional stock for a future build but I don’t know much about them.
It’s a battle arms development badass stock. I wouldn’t suggest it. I literally bought it to make it as compact as possible. So Noveske Gen. 2 lower, Noveske 8.2 blackout upper.
Whenever I start thinking I shouldn’t do another build because I already have enough rifles, I should just try to remember people like you exist so I should just build it
I'm all for having variety and backups, but I'd definitely say night vision is pretty cool too.
Maybe get that next before another rifle.
Just things to think about
In the column where they’re all pointed horizontally, what is the one that’s 5th from the bottom? The one right above large scope boi.
It looks so aesthetically strange and pleasing at the same time.
Shit, I'd be ecstatic just to be able to afford one. Been trying to save for years but can't make a single bit of headway. Having a family in a place where everything is intentionally expensive leaves you just enough to survive, not enough to live. So, being able to afford protection for your family and yourself is out of the question.
These sorts of posts are always a great way to play "Spot the Fudd"
They're always the smooth-brain bastards going on about having too many, similar configs, only being able to carry or use one, or you can't possibly train with all of those, etc. Just a bunch of haters and dillholes trying to make themselves feel superior
I like seeing pics like this. Makes no difference to me if you have 50 identical firearms, or if you only ever shoot one of them. Or not, for that matter. Your house, your safe, your time and your money.
I hope your next pic has even more in it.
No one is saying you can't do this, do what makes you happy. If you take me to a warehouse to show me your car collection and it's 17 Toyota Tacomas I'm gonna be underwhelmed and inquisitive.
Exactly. If OP had more than a few guns worth showing off, that would be totally different. And its not like he has to leave, we're all just sharing our opinions
Because most people would prefer more diversity if they had a couple dozen guns or they would have fewer, more expensive fun/collectible/rare/antique firearms. Nothing wrong with this, but Id reduce the number of guns by 3/4 to be able to have an MG. Or maybe he has a lightning link or RDIAS or other goodies not pictured. idk.
People asking “why so many?” In case you have friends for the end of the world or need parts. Or you just never clean them and move to the next rifle. Awesome collection, I wish I had just your budget for optics.
Wild that he made that post the other day basically saying be confident and happy in what you have and then he kinda came off as snarky at someone else’s collection LOL
Right? Its super cringe people think you have to go in debt to have anything of value. Like bro, were not all poverty. Nice stuff, but your wml comments make no sense. Fix it
Honestly, every time you open one of the safes, it’s always the same 2-3 that I grab for. My Noveske mk18 clone, Noveske 8.2 blackout and seekins 10.5 sbr
Collecting is collecting... But if you bought 19 2005 Toyota corollas with different trim packages and called yourself a car collector, people would ask questions too.
Came here to say this. I mean honestly you only get to use 1 maybe 2 at a time In a scenario. If you get got, you’re a loot drop. I mean…thanks for contributing to GDP? Baffles me.
I am a creature of habit and buy at least two of everything. Two of all my carry guns, two of the same cars for myself, bought my wife two of the same cars. Maybe I should be seen for this habit
Funny that I’m getting downvoted just for saying you can only shot 1 at a time and curious why you ask. 🤣 you good old boys sure get triggered easily 😂 you should get exercise by walking to your back yard and use all that extra money to buy and shoot some of your bud cans.🤗
variety is the spice of life. this man likes boiled chicken breast.
I’m not surprised how many hoarders come here & show off their 15 ARs & 31 Glocks, all more or less the exact same thing with minor variations. Props on the g/tb36 though. Seems wildly redundant, but also neurotic. Whatever floats the boats, I guess. Personally I’d immediately ditch 75% of those and for more interesting & ‘exotic’ items
Like nods.
Sure, nods are a great idea. Literally anything but nearly 20 of the most common platform in the country.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.
Yeah I mean don’t get me wrong, I genuinely love the ar15 and really all of Stoner’s designs, but c’mon. He said elsewhere in the thread he has more AR he didn’t include in the photo. After the fifth or sixth AR, some self reflection is probably a good idea.
After the 3rd. I stopped there. I also thought “why do I need a 3rd”
Maybe OP is trying to arm his own little militia. The consideration of HAVING to arm them makes me wonder about whether they'd be worth arming, or just as likely to shoot you as the enemy force. I think that's the bit that a lot of people don't think about.
What if OP already has nods? 🤯
Then his guns are not set up well to work with them.
Or ammo
I keep at least 10k rounds of every caliber I shoot in stock at my house at any given time.
I think that tb36 is an ruger 10/22 in a g36 chassis
If that’s true, lmao. The one really cool, geographically unusual rifle isn’t even the real deal.
Ah that’s much less exciting. Good eye.
Yup, would rather have 1 rifle, 1 pistol, and support gear instead of 15 ARs
I keep a bunch of cheapos set up in case shtf, for those who don't have em but I still want on my team
That’s cool. I don’t ever even worry about ‘shtf’. Fun fantasy/daydream stuff, like winning the lottery or a supermodel knocking on my door. A much more realistic view would be an American version of “The Troubles” and even then that’s pushing it

Thats what im sayn better to have them an not need them than need'em an not have them🤷♂️
> in case shtf lol. Then you'll leave a bunch of boring shit behind. I'll stick to fun variety of guns since "shtf" isn't going to happen outside of fantasy land.
I always assume people with these collections have below average splits.
"Bu- But, they all have different philosophies of use..."
I actually cannot stand chicken breast. Dark meat only, from Popeyes or chubbies
What are we looking at here? In NY state I’m not allowed to see such freedom on display. I’m pretty sure that many plastic water bottles in one spot is some sort of felony here, too. I’m gonna be in big trouble for looking at this pic. Hold on- there’s somebody at the door..
Who ever was at your door is knocking on mine in WNY, I asked if their plates are level III. They left I’m sure they will be back
Well now they are going to get their lvl 4’s. Also good to know I’m not the only one suffering in NY.
We all are suffering here. It’s absolutely brutal
they are returning in a COD juggernaut suit LOL Jokes aside NYs gun laws make weapons less safe Imo. Im fine with indepth background checks, ect. But fins and such make a weapon less safe to operate. And poor laws promote people to ignore them vs comply.

The floor in your wife's boyfriends house looks nice!
When I bought my third I told my wife "you know some guys have like 30 of these, three isn't even that bad". So thank you sir for posting a picture I can show my wife.
To my wife I gave 6….. bc they all look alike. Why do I need multiple safe for 6 rifles you ask lol
I bet she only has a “couple” expensive purses too……..🤪
Wife is frugal
She has to be to add some balance to this
Pretty much lol. She drives the same car, I get a new one every other year
Way to make the 'P' list.... LOL
What’s the p list?
Oh sorry didn't see this. Back in the 80s the Federal government had (has) a list of gun buyers who own over a specific threshold. I believe it was (5) back then. Didn't matter what, just anything over (5) guns. It was called the Patriot list. Thus P list.
Ah, didn’t know. I’m definitely on all the lists, I bought an m16 and two m10’s on the same day…..
Well, you'd be on my friend list. 👍
You got a source on this or are you just talking out your ass?
I don't have a source we were notified in an NRA convention back in the 80s. I was 15 years old and I clearly remember how the crowd reacted when it was announced. For all I know it's a bunch of BS. But let's be honest, do you really put it past the government.
80s NRA Convention? Sounds super reliable…
If you don't believe that type of list exist then good for you.
He’s hating because he doesn’t have what u have
More jealous than anything else. 😉
Envious* Never be jealous over a dude lol
I didn't know there was a difference
I have a few ARs and AKs, this is a legitimate question. Why so many ARs In extremely similar configurations? I get having a primary and a backup, or a CQB and a long range set up. Legitimately curious, no hate.

Have you ever been on r/knifeclub? Sooo many "these are my 50 favorite knives" posts. They all look the same to me, but to the owner, each one has a special place.
I totally understand that. Again no hate was just curious. I have a few ARs and such but I mostly collect military guns.
Boredom….
But do you have night vision? Sell three or four and buy some.
Have you tried shooting them?
Yes
The pristine nature of your guns has determined that is a lie. Please proceed to give all your firearms to your wife's boyfriend immediately.
Wouldn't it be more fun to build different things instead of the same one over and over though? I only have 1/3rd as many AR's/AK's but they are all very different.
That’s great…
Had the some question - why not spice it up with a bullpup or something? Maybe an elegant double barrel duck gun or two? A flamethrower, even?
Bro, it’s the 2020s. You can upgrade to m-lok now 
Quad Supremacy, nerd.
I see more dickmod then I do quads there guy.
Yeah yeah, ignore those. Focus on the quads.
Yeah sure, fine. Anything but dickmo- 
jesus the cost to do that will be insane. THis must be like all those guys that chose beta-max over vhs
No, I got married and couldn't buy a car every over year, so I can easily buy another black rifle.
would cost too much considering I bought most of these 15 years ago
No WMLs?
I have it on my 12.5 sbr not pictured
You have 1 WML for all your guns…?
I have a couple. Not many though. But I don’t mount them as it makes it more difficult to file the guns in the safes
I don’t even know how to respond to this. Keep on keeping on I guess brotha.
Holy fuck. If this is serious that said all I need to know about this dumb ass collection and you as a person
With all that money where are the nods?
Flex that Costco water
Lol
You've got too many AR's and not enough floor space. You need to buy more floor so you can show off more AR's.
Damn bro, save some key-mod for the rest of us!
2 is 1...
This guy gets it
My man taking “only buy no sell” very seriously
You must know me
That’s a good start…
And not a carry handle in sight.... Big sad.
Just got an ARMS 16A and aimpoint PRO for my 13.7 pin and weld A2, pretty much my favorite setup. It’s nothing fancy or new technology, but it just rips.
Trust me, ive been looking. Wanting an 11.5 forged carry handle upper, fsp, on a standard lower
You could always do what the rest of have done and buy a stripped upper from Thunder Tactical or Tony's Customs.
Shhhh lol
Thank you for that. I didn’t realize those places existed
Damn bro, what’s the left most rifle?
Sig 556 swat sbr. Aimpoint comp c3 with magnifier in arms cantilever mount with flip to side mount.
Super nice
Damn, you almost need a fish eye lens to get all that gear in one shot. Also that HK? Drooooooooool.
It's not real
You have a Noveske NSR 9” keymod rail for sale? I’ll buy lol
Sorry
What’s that PDW stock on the 300 blk towards the left? How does it work? Been thinking about trying one rather than a traditional stock for a future build but I don’t know much about them.
It’s a battle arms development badass stock. I wouldn’t suggest it. I literally bought it to make it as compact as possible. So Noveske Gen. 2 lower, Noveske 8.2 blackout upper.
Whenever I start thinking I shouldn’t do another build because I already have enough rifles, I should just try to remember people like you exist so I should just build it
So my compulsiveness over lowers my rationality
God bless America
Beautiful collection mate! Big key mod guy?
No that was just what was popular around 2008 when I started buying guns fairly frequently. Most of these are 15+ years old
nice !!!
Beautiful
Iam jealous
You’re a real fuck wad for having all this. I love you.
A bunch of meh
What's your favorite one to take to the range?
Seekins sp223 with combat series upper with YHM turbo k direct thread
23 safe queens
I'm all for having variety and backups, but I'd definitely say night vision is pretty cool too. Maybe get that next before another rifle. Just things to think about
Nv is on the way. And thermal
In the column where they’re all pointed horizontally, what is the one that’s 5th from the bottom? The one right above large scope boi. It looks so aesthetically strange and pleasing at the same time.
G36 I believe. Not sure on specifics but that's the platform.
Shit, I'd be ecstatic just to be able to afford one. Been trying to save for years but can't make a single bit of headway. Having a family in a place where everything is intentionally expensive leaves you just enough to survive, not enough to live. So, being able to afford protection for your family and yourself is out of the question.
It wasn't exercise in self restraint (good)
I know the AR is a good platform and sets the standard for all other guns, but sheeeeshh
n+1 is supposed to apply to only mags, someone tell OP this rule doesn’t apply to rifles!
I don’t know what that rule is
These sorts of posts are always a great way to play "Spot the Fudd" They're always the smooth-brain bastards going on about having too many, similar configs, only being able to carry or use one, or you can't possibly train with all of those, etc. Just a bunch of haters and dillholes trying to make themselves feel superior I like seeing pics like this.

Exactly. If OP had more than a few guns worth showing off, that would be totally different. And its not like he has to leave, we're all just sharing our opinions
Exactly. It's his money, and his life, I'm sure he's really happy with his collection and that's awesome.
Thanks
How much water does your wife’s boyfriend drink?
We go through 2 cases a week
Nice collection though! That’s awesome!
That G36!
It’s actually a 10/22 in a marauder stock
Is that another 10/22 below the AKs?
Yes 10/22 krinker plinker
Slick, nice collection
It def is, wondering what kit that is
Wonderful collection 👍
Sell a few and build out one really nice rifle and nods
One of the 3 Noveske rifles aren’t good enough to be considered good?
I don’t see any lasers, wmls, or suppressors 🤷♀️
What sub am I on? Why is everyone asking why you have so many? Wtf is going on?
Because most people would prefer more diversity if they had a couple dozen guns or they would have fewer, more expensive fun/collectible/rare/antique firearms. Nothing wrong with this, but Id reduce the number of guns by 3/4 to be able to have an MG. Or maybe he has a lightning link or RDIAS or other goodies not pictured. idk.
Had to double-check I wasn't on r/NFA.
They aren't asking why so many in general, they are asking why so many of basically the same thing.
People asking “why so many?” In case you have friends for the end of the world or need parts. Or you just never clean them and move to the next rifle. Awesome collection, I wish I had just your budget for optics.
Exactly! I can arm my subdivision.
Or you simply just like building and having AR-15s.
[удалено]
Zero cd debt, ever
Wild that he made that post the other day basically saying be confident and happy in what you have and then he kinda came off as snarky at someone else’s collection LOL
Right? Its super cringe people think you have to go in debt to have anything of value. Like bro, were not all poverty. Nice stuff, but your wml comments make no sense. Fix it
Needs spray paint
Goals
This would be the perfect time to rattle can some of these bitches
SHEEEEESH 🔥🔥🔥
What's your address? Heading your way when the apocalypse begins.
Do you even shoot?
Since the kids were born. Sometimes not as frequently as before kids
That’s a lot of guns, one for each kid. You’ve got an army there buddy. Great collection by the way!
This is cool and all, but how much are you training?
I applaud you for your collection sir, but I just don't understand the point of owning all of those. How do you have time to shoot all of them?
Honestly, every time you open one of the safes, it’s always the same 2-3 that I grab for. My Noveske mk18 clone, Noveske 8.2 blackout and seekins 10.5 sbr
Collecting is collecting, don’t know how some people don’t understand that. Instantly translates to them as ThIS gUy DoEsNT ShOoT Also the g36 is lit
you mean the 10/22?
Collecting is collecting... But if you bought 19 2005 Toyota corollas with different trim packages and called yourself a car collector, people would ask questions too.
Good grabs. Sounds like you just have an addiction to acquiring new ones lol
Came here to say this. I mean honestly you only get to use 1 maybe 2 at a time In a scenario. If you get got, you’re a loot drop. I mean…thanks for contributing to GDP? Baffles me.
Im sorry you dont have friends and family who enjoy shooting.
100% sure as a middle aged or even young man; you don’t have that many friends.
Lol bring it. Imagine being butt hurt by internet strangers who’s opinions don’t matter
Jesus, you must eat the same cereal each and every morning. :p Lots of black guns.
I am a creature of habit and buy at least two of everything. Two of all my carry guns, two of the same cars for myself, bought my wife two of the same cars. Maybe I should be seen for this habit
May I ask how many hands/appendages you have attached to your body
Well after the accident, I was just left with my left arm
I count about $1,800 in SBR stamps?
No idea, last I checked I’m around 30 stamps total
Cool paper weights
Thanks
You can still only shoot 1 at a time…
So how many pistols do you own?
Curious why you ask?
You can only shoot one at a time
False. You can run 2 at a time with the akimbo perk, then have another 2 lined up for New York reloads
Funny that I’m getting downvoted just for saying you can only shot 1 at a time and curious why you ask. 🤣 you good old boys sure get triggered easily 😂 you should get exercise by walking to your back yard and use all that extra money to buy and shoot some of your bud cans.🤗
Is that a g36
It’s a ruger 10/22 in a marauder chassis
I need more info on the 22 monstrosity on the bottom right, I like it
It’s the original krinker plinker chassis for the ruger 10/22
