Hi! I'm Letfreedomring and I have a problem....

[Shinneryfarmer]

I'm sitting on at least 8 that I have built or purchased the last 2 yrs that I have never fired. Honestly with work and stuff I need to do around here, I just don't have the time. When I do it usually to dang hot and after working in it all day not making the effort. Heck purchased one over a week ago from @clintbailey and have yet to fire it. Fall and winter is when I usually get into my shooting mode.

I do have a few that have never been fired and probably never will be as long as I retain possession.

I'm a H&K collector. I've shot all of them but one. The reason is because it is too damn hot to want to go to the range.

 

[OkieJoe72]

If I have it, it’s going to be shot. I’ll let my kids worry about the value after I’m gone.

 

[DRC458]

Yep. If I own it, I'm gonna' shoot it. I have some that have not been shot in years, but they have all been shot!

About the only guns I haven't shot at least a few times are one antique cowboy gun not really safe to shoot and can't find ammo anyway, one old German Mauser still packed with cosmoline, and a 2nd Gen Colt Navy black Powder (which I may shoot some day) and same with a 3rd Gen Colt BP 1862 Navy. Oh yeah, I used to have an original 1851 Colt Navy that was unshootable once.

Dang an unfired Mauser

Chute em if you got em or what is the point of having them.

True

80% of the guns i own i have never shot but most of them was used when i got them but i do have a few NIB that i have never shot, several years ago i was buying to fund a extra retirement fund and to have something to play with when i retired.

 

[caliberbob]

I’ve got a few collectors guns that are BNIB that I will never shoot. One will be listed for sale here as soon as I get my code Red Level 5 clearance lol. I also have many I haven’t shot that I impulse bought. I’m a weirdo

 

[retrieverman]

I’m not nor will ever be a “collector” of guns. If I’m not going to shoot them, they need to go somewhere else to live.
