I still have not shot the last four guns I bought

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Not just me then. I don't like it

Wife has a rifle for nearly two years, no scope, scope is in box with plastic wrap on it, waiting to be fitted. That was a great deal, good sale price, plus a good rebate on top, so impulse buy.

I haven't fired my Garand that i've owned for over a year now, that was kind of an impulse buy too, not based on price though It's been in pieces since right after i got it.

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

you guys are nuts. i shoot'm minutes after i get'm.

Same here, but it's my wife's purchase and she should be the one to take the first shots

 

[Flopsweat]

It took me two weeks to find time to shoot my MP5 clone after I bought it. I could have had a Tavor for what I paid for that gun and it just sat there for what seemed like forever. Still glad I bought it though.

 

[edslhead]

Ive made it up to 2 or 3 before but never four. Thats just wrong

 

[mrblond]

I got a few that I have not shot yet. My SLG-21, got a in the box W.German P228 and my GI Frag.
If I take a 1911, the No name tends to get grabbed. I got another shooter W.German p228 that is carried and I just have not been down to the club since picking the AK up.

That's what happens when you buy a gun every time you hear a politician claiming we don't need 'em.

I think I have shot almost every gun, but quite a few have very low round counts. I think it's better to concentrate on a smaller number of guns, to keep proficiency up. The others are for handing out when the Revolution starts.

Mine are mostly for enjoyment. Some are pretty darn enjoyable though.

 

[PDXSparky]

I've shot all the guns I own with 1 exception. It's an old .22lr that I got when my mom and her husband moved out of their house into a retirement "resort".

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

I just added an M1903 to my 'owned, not shot' list.

 

[Kruel J]

The only one I haven't shot is my latest AR build. Only because I'm going to take out a new gun owner/shooter a week from Monday and figure that's a good time to run it. He just bought a Glock 19 on my recommendation (his first pistol purchase).

 

[MrElectric03]

I know the feeling. I gave my wife a gp100 for Mother's Day and have wanted her to shoot it but we were in the middle of a move. Now we've been here six weeks and I haven't started my range membership yet. She hasn't fired a gun since we started dating in 2010. I just bought an MPX though so now I really want to get to the range.

Hang your heads, Gentlemen - having guns and not shooting them is like having a brewery and not drinking.

If you had to go through as much PITA documentation and waiting time as we do over here just to own A gun, let alone four, by golly, you'd be shooting every day for sure, like me.

I shoot everything I have - a lot - and with nineteen guns to shoot, that takes some time, but somebody has to do it, right?

It takes time to get out and shoot 35. And Americans have patience.

 

[MountainBear]

I need ARPC to re-open their main range so I can start to get some of the recently acquired/finished projects shot. 30 yards just isn't quite enough...

 

[MountainBear]

I just added an M1903 to my 'owned, not shot' list.

You added an 03a3 unless you got another toy on Saturday as well...

I have no disrespect for collectors. I love seeing collector military firearms.
But for me I'm a shooter. Everything I own I shoot. I have shot a
match every weekend for the past 6 weeks. I continue to learn about
military rifles and gear. Fixing problems, tinkering with, refurbishing
and reloading for military rifles.

 

[MountainBear]

It's all about time and range access. Nothing I own is a safe queen.

Thing is you never know about collectors.
They could own Hundreds of guns they don't shoot.

And still have five times the number of shooters that you have.

I didn't want to complicate things for people

M1903a3 it is, and a fine one at that. Once i get my gun desk cleared, it's coming out the safe and getting cleaned!

 

[Hrethgir]

I haven't shot my last 6 guns. Three of them are 22's that i actually bought before I even found any ammo for them, so that was an issue! And I can't shoot an AR or a Mosin Nagant at an indoor range, and just haven't packed everything up to try to find a place outdoors to shoot them.

 

[The Heretic]

I now immediately go outside and shoot a gun right after I buy it, just so I can say I shot it at least once. Then I put it away and don't shoot it again.
