Default Showing Off Pictures Of My Collection

We often talk about how many guns a guys needs. How many times have one of us posted something like "I don't need another gun, but I got a great deal on this one"?

I recently got an excellent $200 deal on a scoped stainless 1:20 twist Knight .45, along with a plastic tackle box with three packs of Shockwaves, three packs of T7 pellets, three packs of 209s, patches, oil, bore butter and assorted tools. I really didn't want or need that gun. But it was too good a deal to pass up. I gave it to a hunting buddy three days later for the $200 I paid.

For a while I had a strong hankering for a custom made TVM flintlock, and came very very close to ordering one. But I got over it.

I really think I've arrived at the point where I'm totally happy with the collection I have. It's large by some guy's standards and quite modest by other's. (Can you name a few?) I will probably be suckered into another "can't pass it up" deal sooner or later. But for now I truly have all I need, and more.

Anyway, here are the beauty pictures of my collection, which most of you have seen before (but never all in one place).









It would be fun to see all of you guys each start a new thread with pictures of your collection.

Very nice Semi - except for those hussy Renegades! My collection will be complete in about a week or two and then I will post. I am getting some work done on one and have one (actually 2) coming in the mail.
Then I am done. I mean it. I'm really done. Don't go telling me different. I ain't getting no more. NO WAY, I MEAN IT NOW. STOP IT! NO MORE I TELL YOU.

And BTW - if Cayugad decides to do this, first off it will take at least a week for him to take the pictures. Then there will have to be a special "Cayugad Forum" as this one will be overburdened from all the input data.

If you think that's going to happen Brknarrow, you're on the wrong forum.

If you ever got a chance to shoot that .58 GM/TC Hawken you would add it to the first three for sure.

Very nice collection there Semisane. I like the on the fence look. I normally just lean mine into a wood pile when I photograph them. Easier then building a BIG fence.
