Don't forget how large that vault was..... You gonna have to give up smokes and alcohol for a long, long time.
You can never have enough guns?

Heh heh, my older brother calls me a 'tea-totaler' as I don't do either. The saddest part is, I don't even own one flintlock yet.
But I guess the rest'll do. dougb1946

FBI points out that violence rates have declined sharply as gun ownership has increased. Do your duty. Buy more guns and help decrease violence.
Ringo, I'm not into flintlocks, but everyone should own at least one. Trust me. You don't have to shoot it, but it'll look good over the mantelpiece. If you don't have a mantelpiece, having a flintlock is a good excuse to get one. Either way, you can't go wrong!!!
With retirement coming up (end of May) and the associated reduced income, it was determined that I had bought my last gun and will now focus on shooting them. I took out a Model 15-3, Model 24-3, and a Marlin 30-30 just today. The 51st Annual Colorado Gun Collector's Show starts tomorrow. There are 1500 tables of everything except beef jerky. What should I do?
Sure you're not. If I had a box of ammo for every time I've said that, there wouldn't be any ammo shortages in my future. But I have gone to really nice gun shows and not bought anything. One just never knows when a gun you didn't even think was on your radar will come along. I was at one nice little show, had not bought anything. Left. Had lunch, did some shopping, still an hour before the show wound down. Went back in. Guy walking around with a mint Colt Gold Cup, wrapped up in a greasy rag. Was asking $900. No box, but was from the early seventies ( I did a quick check on Proofhouse). Well it turns out that I was the first guy he had run into. Now I have a really nice gun that I didn't know I needed until I bought it. Love it.
I could tell you many similar stories. Sometimes the gun you need finds you.
Good luck at that show.

I am at a point that I am planning on selling off the guns I don't shoot or don't like, mainly it will be the fanatic plastic guns. I may be selling them all at some point, I don't have anyone to give them too or leave them too.

Great bunch of enablers you guys are. Guy wants to cut down and here are the bunch of you telling how he can get around that problem and buy more guns. You can never have too many guns,magazines or ammo. Frank
I own two military grade gun safes that are totally empty,,,,
Should I STOP buying gun safes??
A friend of mine's son collects guns as his 401K plan. Therefore, he has several safes. A recent plumbing problem caused him to have to hire a plumber who, when he entered the basement, asked the son if he collected safes.
how much is enough , never enough
There are two or three, or twelve guns that I would buy under the right circumstances (I.e. me, the gun and the money in the same place at the same time). I will not go looking for any of them; if I don't buy another gun, that's okay.

I dont have a mantle but, if I have to? ill get one of those cardboard ones.
I do know a guy who has a Continental Army flintlock w/ bayonet. Trouble is, is he wants about $3,500 for it. From butt to end of bayonet, that sucker is taller than I am.

Maybe a repro is in order?
Firing, or non-firing, take your choice!

I'm in a good spot. There's nothing I want right now.
But that has been known to change...

I've learned that you might have enough guns, if you just have a handgun, rimfire, and a shotgun. That has nothing to do with having too many guns, which is a figment of some tyrants imagination, and is pure fiction. It is possible to not have enough room to properly store everything, which is another concern altogether. I just like the idea of having plenty of guns. We all should rid ourselves of guns we don't like, or don't want to keep. Please refer to the WTS section of the forum.

Even those are expensive. I found a site that sells repo Hawkins rifles, prices start at about $2 grand.
