What the bloody hell have you lot done to me

[jukibom]

I’ve just looked at my gun spreadsheet (yes I know it’s sad ) and since coming back to the hobby I’ve bought guns at a rate of 0.9 per month, and sold at a rate of 0.05 per month. I ran out of space a while ago but I “need” them all and there are many more that I also “need”, so I shall be moving into the garage and the guns can have my room

Well it's been a year so I've bought at a rate of 1.0 per month and sold at a rate of 0.0

Actually it's worse because I also bought this for my brother-in-law but I don't think presents count, right?

Criminally lacking in options there.

The problem is never having too many-it’s organising your time to shoot them all

Plus she needs a wise owl in a glass case to act as guardian of the gun room

Still liking the original "hand cannon"

It used to be "beware of the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it"

Now it's "beware of the woman with lots of guns, she knows how to use them and wants more"

I love it! And you can see in the photo I've been on a journey getting walnut grips made and oiling / polishing them relentlessly

 

[PartTimeLegend]

A decent start. Buy a second house to keep your guns in. Maybe a little indoor range too.

TBF, we aren't much use for much but we are a solid choice for apportioning blame.

Although in my case, I'm also universally acknowledged as being a 21st century Adonis and, as such, represent a uniquely fine human ornament.

Most women: Oooh, I need another pair of shoes, sandals, boots, a hand bag, a shoulder bag, a clutch bag etc...

Jukibom: Oooh, I need another gun, and another one, and another one, and some more bags... for the guns...

You're short a bullpup, a self-indexer and a nerd-mode benchrest setup imo!

Excellent collection there. I have a similar problem to you. I downsize by getting rid of what I'm not shooting but then I've filled the space in the cabinet by the end of the month

 

[jukibom]

you joke but I do actually need more bags.

for the guns.

 

[chouchin66]

Atta girl, well done, thus far.

 

[Siraff]

I see the problem. In that first pic you can see what looks like a wardrobe or some other kind of furniture. If you remove that you will have plenty of space for another few weeks or so. Then just find the next thing thats in the way like sofas, cookers, walls...

I agree, especially on the nerd-mode benchrest!

And a .20. And a .22. And a .25 (possibly a leiva... not that I've been looking or anything)

 

[Dodgyeye]

Yep, a modest start down the rabbit hole

When you do something you don't mess about! I'll give you that
That's some collection in a year.
And there are some good guns there.
Luckily I can't hit a barn with a pistol! Let alone narrow it down to the door. I don't have the eyesight for it anymore. So I'm spared that particular addiction.
Makes my five rifles in the last 18 months look like amateur numbers.
Right I'm off to the sales section!

 

[OldStock]

It is good to know the addiction, is not a "remembering being a lad" thing, as many people seem to assume.
I don't quite understand what it is about guns, or why they can be both tactile and rewarding to use.
Anyway that is far too much thinking for one day.

Good to see the collection growing.

Thank you @jukibom!
You've just saved my marriage. My wife thought I was bad and now I can show her that I'm perfectly normal

 

[jukibom]

Right I'm off to the sales section!

The sales section is literally the devil on your shoulder
