Can't find any more guns I want to buy!

[Golddollar]

Only 30 guns total, rifles shotguns and handguns? How do you get by with so few?

In one of my clubs there is a lady who has been the chief Range Officer for bullseye shooting events. At one Wednesday night .22 league match, before the match actually commenced, she mentioned that she had 20 handguns. Everybody at the firing line, in perfect unison, exclaimed, "ONLY 20?"

I have slowed down my purchases. I have a decent, (in my mind) eclectic collection. I will still pick up a piece here and there, but I am being way more selective and a bit more frugal (except for the nickel 1911 I recently paid way too much for).

I am selling off few things to fund others, but that is a slow process too. My son says he would keep all I leave him, but who knows how he'd feel about that in 15 or so years.

I still look all the time, but I am not normally impulsive any more.

I hear you. I'm 80 and have been an avid shooter collector all my life. I have downsized a couple of times, sometimes only to regret it. I have a daughter and son in law who really don't care for guns. My grandson would shoot some with me when he would visit in the summer, but his interest is just casual. My son likes guns, but nothing on the level that I have. I try not to worry too much about my collection now. I know that my son will keep what he wants and he has friends who will help him sell the rest.

The only things I want that I don't have cost way more than I'd ever pay for a gun.

A Fleming auto sear for my HK SP5 and SP5K, a Norrell full auto 10/22 trigger pack, and a M16 lower receiver.

I have been thinking about making one of my 870 Wingmasters short barrel shotgun.

I have no use for an auto sear as I can hardly afford ammo as it is. In my retirement job they had at least one 870P w/14” bbl and after firing it at the Range I really didn’t care for it. Too many years carrying 18” bbl Riot Guns I guess.

My gun acquisition has slowed considerably. I've collected most of the guns I want (and/or am willing to pay for).

Take heart. You have found the world's greatest support group for those suffering this affliction.
