Work Photo's... AK's , China Lakes, and Uzi's

So I started this new job not to long ago. One of the coolest aspects is that right next to my office is this amazing collection. Here is a little taste to wet the palates:

Offered to help go through some guns and determine what is worth keeping and what can be traded for other holes in the collection. The majority of the AK’s are Type 56 (arsenal 66) captures from VN.

Majority of Ak’s and a bunch of homemade VN weapons and M1/M2 Carbines

AK74SU and MP5SD3

My FAV!! One of 4 known to still exsist. China Lake Pump 40MM. It’s alot lighter than it looks.

I hope you guys like the pics. This is maybe 2% of the total collection. I am going to try to talk to the boss and maybe do a new gun/weapon each week with a write up on its history and some pictures.

That is a lot of great history right there! I like your idea, hope the boss goes for it.

Oh WOW! That’s awesome to be able to see such a collection. It would be so nice to be able to take them down and clean them up. You would get your hands all over them.

For the record WHO has a experimental Mini gun lol.

Looks like I missed one.

This is a real North Korean Type 58

The plan is to go through and figure out what is worth keeping and what we can get rid of or trade. Then going through everything and getting maitenence up to date. Most of the stuff has been sitting on a shelf or in a rack for 20-30-50- or in some cases 200 years.

Amazing collection, Thanks for posting.

Simply awesome.

Possible stupid question alert…Is everything pictured functional?

aaaaaaand…i’m sending you my resume. :blink:

I thought I would never have job envy…till today. Please let us know some history on those.
I see some rusted (.50)s? Recovered weapons from?

Amazing collection. Thank you for posting this.

Most is yes. There are a few items demilled and one of at ak’s has the op rod spot welded to the cover. Nothing a dremel cant fix :slight_smile:

They were pulled out of sunken naval warships.

WOW. Thanks for sharing and keep the pics coming.:smiley:

Thanks for sharing, can we view these at the US Navy Museum?

Awesome, thanks for posting. Does the yellow on the Thompsons indicate something or were bringbacks from Liberia? :smiley:

Are they accepting applications? Haha! That is a beautiful collection.

Omg…:blink: I want that Krink sooooo bad… Actually, I’ll take the lot! Awesome pics!

Dream job right there.

I hope your boss goes for it. I would love to see the history on individual weapons

Do they hire fresh History undergrads? I will need a job by the end of the Spring. :smiley:

I need an RPD.

What does it say on the plaque under the T56?
