Whether I would sell it would depend on how much I can get for it to cover the cost of the stand and whether I use it regularly. If you can get enough $$ for it, likely go for it. Should you need a shotgun for one of those occasional shotgun only hunts, a single shot H&R or Rossi comes pretty cheap. I don't collect guns so I will only buy/keep what I know I will use (one exception is a gun my dad restored).
