The Stern Collection

Bruce Stern's massive collection of firearms is well known to the online gun community. Photographs of his collection have been widely mislabeled as belonging to Charlton Heston. [ [http://pd-evolution.blogspot.com/2008/05/late-charleton-hestons-basement.html Change Keep A-Comin': Bruce Stern's Collection - largest grossing firearms auction EVER held in the world ] ] This mis-attribution has been debunked on Snopes [ [http://www.snopes.com/photos/architecture/gunvault.asp snopes.com: Charlton Heston's Gun Collection ] ] which also displays the photographs of his gun vault. An interview with a family member stated that even the re-attribution of the Heston Collection to Mr. Stern is incorrect. The collection includes a wide variety of military rifles, including a number of rare military semi-automatics (the Pedersen rifle and Mexican Mondragón) and many early sniper rifles such as the Mauser M88. [ [http://juliaauctions.net/auctions/233/selected_highlights.asp Firearms - March 2008: Selected Highlights ] ] In addition, he also owned a large number of antique machine guns, such as the MG42, the Vickers machine gun, and the M1981 Browning Automatic Rifle.
