No offense but it's clear you have limited firearms knowledge. Most of the visible firearms in the front row are indeed military surplus rifles from around the world. A large percentage are bolt action rifles that are very long and heavy. Because of this there are many different calibers represented. It's very typical of a collector of these types of firearms to have little or no ammo for many of the firearms in their collections. The ammo for these guns is often difficult to come by and these type of guys usually never fire the majority of their guns. They have them for the historical value and just for pure enjoyment.

If this were a "gun runner" you would see far more handguns than is pictured and they would not be of the type in this collection. Criminals are not going to be interested in a bolt action No4 Mk1 British Enfield rifle.

This guy is a gun collector and this is a collection many collectors would aspire to own.

Not that it matters, but I agree with you. He is simply a collector. I also have an issue with people assuming he’s illegal because he has a Hispanic name. I don’t know where people live who don’t know there is a huge population of people in the United States with Hispanic names.

I have a dead mint Arisaka, with the flower still on it. I don’t see how a Japanese soldier could even lift it!
