Ten years ago I was able to buy a Custer era Colt. That was sold to fund several Parkers. Another lure collector had a number of guns that he wanted to trade for lures. (I love it when that plan comes together) Made that trade- sold off most of them and bought more Parkers and some Foxes. Have since sold off four of the Foxes and am waiting on the next Parker.
Stay active. When you quit moving someone will want to put you in a box and bury you.

Yeah, for our 10th anniversary about a month ago, I sold off my Colt AR that I never shoot, a 6.5 grendel upper I had acquired, and a Colt woodsman to buy the Mrs. the infinity band ring from Tiffanys to go with the engagement ring and wedding band I shocked her with when we got married.
