Wanted to thin my weapons.

They will no longer be part of your stable and under your care but still be in the herd.

The ones I have gifted to family are still in my house.
There is that.

I've already gifted a couple, sold a few, and need to sell several more!

I'm the same way. Just can't have too many 22's. I probably have half dozen I've never shot.

I have several that got shot one time and retired.

Guys if you hate dealing with selling your guns, just give them to me. Problem solved.

I often look at my "collection" of .22s and think, "There's no way I'm actually going to use all of these, and they take up so much space. I should sell some." But then the moment of insanity passes and I go back to thinking like it's Pokemon cards. (I gotta catch 'em all....)

And its a .22 coincidentally I parted with I’m now wanting to replace. I covet a pristine Marlin Model 39. But prices indicate a 39a will be the best I can do.

Saw a Winchester Model 52 done by O.W. Niedner the other day. Price was 8K. So it could be worse.

Btw, I read that in 1934 the Model 52 Sporter cost $88.50. That amounted about $1,800 in 2017 dollars. Just think of the money we are saving for our progeny with all our little inflation hedges.
