Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Want your opinion on gun boxes
So almost all of my guns I have the boxes for. Does anyone find that it provides more value? I?m tired of moving and storing boxes. Are they worth keeping?
I keep all mine, to the chagrin of my firefighter brother who says they are a fire hazard.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
I keep the majority of mine. Mostly because I?m prone to selling things from time to time and the next owner will likely appreciate having all of the original goodies.
That being said, if the firearm isn?t of particularly great value and the factory packaging is pretty much a cardboard box I?ll usually toss it.
I keep mine, but I don't like it either. I can't imagine owning a gun where having the box would make it more valuable.

If the gun is going to be collector type, having the box is a good thing. Selling to newer gun owners the boxes may be nice for storage, but anyone with a safe and a gun habit the box or case isn't really worth much. We will just throw it in the basement with the rest of them never to be used again
I toss them, unless its a collector's peice.
Don't be stupid!!!!!
This has popped up a few times I remember.
I used to keep the original boxes, not anymore. pita.

Keep!
Box and paperwork says you take care of it. Even if given as heirlooms, nice to have the boxes.
Always eat the vegans first
I keep them. Even if its just cardboard box.

Colt, old S&W revolvers, or high end guns yes. Everything else, no
