Has anyone completely revamped their firearm collection recently? I tell my wife that "this" gun is the gun of all guns! I will never get rid of it! Two months later I am selling it to get something different. I cant be the only one on this planet that does this sort of thing can I? In my mind I have......uh.....lets see......four firearms that as of Monday 10/7/13 I will not get rid of. We shall see!
CO Dems have recently stymied a mass revamp of my collection.
Hard for me to say .. my collection is ( er was ... before the boating accident...) that I can;t see getting rid of anyone them .. unless it was to get a better version of the same thing ( a name brand AR instead of my frankin rifle... but then again .. this one always seems to go bang so why bother?) for the shotgun... The mossberg is the lego of shotguns already .. I have a bunch of accessories .. and can always get more... no need to replace. and the pistol.... again maybe a better version.... but not much better then a good ol colt 1911 ( that doesn't cost an arm, leg or first born... )
I revamp my meager collection all the time, at least I used to, until the scumbag lawmakers impressed their will upon the law abiding citizens of Colorado. I still try here and there but that being said, I do have a few that will stay with me and hopefully go to grandchildren. Maybe before I die I will sell or donate them but I hope that is still a ways down the line.
This one stays with me until death.
^^Yes, when I run out of room I will have to get a bigger house.
I only have one gun at the bottom of the lake that is not for sale and hell it's for sale at the right price.
Already did that.
Went from a hodge podge of weapons to mostly glocks. Sold my saiga s-12 for an ak. No unreliable weapons allowed.
Guns are like boats. Always trying to trade up. Only sacred cow in my collection is a family heirloom 61 caliber rifled musket that supposedly one of my ancestors carried in the Civil War, at least according to my Grandfather. Popular opinion is he bought it at a farm sale and came up with the story.
Everything else is up for grabs, but less inclined to do it given the current laws.
Yep. Sold an M&P .40, sold a Benelli M4, sold an FS 2000. All gone to get x, y, and z. My wife just rolls her eyes!
The guns that were given to me as a child (hunting rifles and shotguns), and the guns I've inherited from my Grandfathers (Winchester 92 Saddle Ring Carbine and WWII/Korean War 1911), will stay with me.
All others are subject to upgrade.
Family heirlooms, I am just the steward of, must be handed down(which with the new laws, is PIA). The rest are my tools. They are bought, sold and traded as I desire.
Sent from my electronic ball and chain.
I downsized and standardized years ago. That said I did build an AR in 300blk last year. I am down to ones I like/love to shoot. At least I am not the Fal whore I used to be. [Flower]
I've sold the one firearm that I told myself I'd never sell so I guess I have no loyalty. Everything I own now is a tool and nothing more.
I go through stuff quite a bit. The first 10 guns me and the wife bought are all gone and replaced with other things. For the most part from what I own right now I have no intent of ever selling any, but we will see how that goes. I never intended to sell the FS2000 until I got the Tavor. I never intended to sell the FNX until I got the USP. I never intended to sell the 1911 until I wanted something that cost way more than I had on hand. ect. Only a couple guns in the current collection are over a year old. That said the new mag law is hampering my decision making at this point.
Ah, the Tavor. That is exactly why I sold my FS2000 as well.Quote:

Been there done that!!
Had every Glock made in my collection, well almost all.
Now I don't one, sold for a few custom 1911's.
Gotta love it!!!! All part of the fun!

I've thinned the herd down pretty low at this point. The less my wife has to liquidate if I get run over by a train tomorrow, the better.
I've only ever sold/parted with 2 guns in my life and one was actually my wife's. Just couldn't bring myself to parting with any of them before that horrendous day when I had that terrible and very unexpected boating accident where I lost 'em all.
Only 1 gun gone, need to find someone who needs a ruger in 45LC. and am done.
I have never been given a gun I have bought them all. It is a hobby and they are tools. I buy/sell/trade any chance I get. If it were given to me or inherited I would keep it.
Sadly, I lost all of my firearms in that boting accident. It's still so fresh in my mind it brings a tear to my eyes just talking about.
