It's history here in Canada, but I visited this one last year and it's open for business.
Unfortunately it's in Belgium!

Bruce, did you ever get to see Tom Bongalis' collection in North Vancouver? He lived in Pemberton Heights across the street from Capilano Elementary school and the entire basement of his very large house was bulging at the seams with over 10,000 firearms of all types. He later opened Castle Armoury on lower Mountain Highway where he had a retail outlet along with his movie prop-gun business. He unfortunately died of lung cancer about 10 years ago and his daughter Gail took over the business. His personal collection was auctioned off by Bud Haynes which included among other things; Billy Miner's pistol, functional MG08/15, a couple of Besas, and many other M.P.'s, Macs, Uzis...you name it.. Quite a guy.
