Narrative:
On final approach to ZZZ airport; runway 30; completed normal checklist procedures; flaps set; fuel pump on; gear down light illuminated. After landing; throttle retarded; normal landing rollout for approximately 100+ yards; heard noises from propeller and belly as landing gear collapsed. I do not believe I manipulated anything other than normal flight controls; brakes; rudder; pitch control. Aircraft skidded to a stop in less than 50 yards. There appeared to be only propeller and belly damage. No fuel leakage or fire. No injury to personnel. Aircraft rested 5 ft left of centerline runway abeam taxiway. Local aircraft operator called approach and advised them on disabled aircraft on runway. Parachute center operator helped me to call a mechanic to inform him of incident. Police responded to incident. After their investigation; it was determined that since ZZZ is an uncontrolled airport and there is substantial potential for damage to incoming aircraft; the aircraft was moved to a secure area.
