I made the decision to downsize a couple of years ago and sold some gave away some to nephews and Young hunting buddies. I was resolved not to leave the wife with the trouble of getting rid of the guns. this covid has skewed my reasoning. I bought a Fox Wildfowl and think I must have a 4 bore.


just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in!

Wow, I'd have to shed a whole bunch of shotguns to get there. Don't see that happening anytime soon.

Looks like I have to step up the buying compared to some of you guys. But I feel guilty not using them, call it a weakness. 23, nice!

In anticipation of the Hillary BITCH in 2016 I bought several AR’s before the election . And over the uhm Trump years I’d let most go . But I’ve still got an AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel and an AR-10 with three uppers . Well all that stuff got listed on GB about two hours ago . And in the next week or so I suspect a dozen or so rifles and some others will be listed as well . I think the only semi auto rifles I’ll possess anylonger will be a pair of M1 carbines , a Ruger 44R and a Ruger 10/22 .

Default Shooting them

Andy, I don't want to shoot things like this too often. This is a first year of production Midas grade with 30" barrels.

I went through the safe thinking just what I could live without. There are to many 20's and 16's. While sorting through them it came to my attention that there is a 20 in ascending grades from a VHE to AHE Now I'll have to revaluate

I did something I have only done one time before. I decided to unload some rifles and pistols that I had never shot. It seems like a great time to sell mediocre guns at high prices. Last time I unloaded a bunch of ss, wish I had keep 2 of them.

However this time I replaced them with 2 Winchester lever guns a 94 in 32 special and a model 64 deluxe in 30/30, and yes I don’t need any more rifles.
I could not seem to let go of any ss yet, maybe later this year.

After reading this forum I think I’m in need a a Damascus Parker.

My gunsmith once told me "you can never have to many rifles". We stumbled on the last build for a caliber and settled on a 300 H&H. He smirked at the current project a custom #1 in 300 Savage. Maybe I do have to many rifles.
Damascus Parkers awe awesome and I'm privileged to have a couple in small bores.
