Dad?I can see that for a average person who only has four, five maybe six guns. But when you hace excess of a hundred shooting every one doesn't matter.
You don't shoot more than 120 dys a yr? Why even have guns? Lol just given ya a hrd time.You do it because you can do it.
So why not?
Here in yUK, some county police forces - they are the people who issue our Firearms certificates - want to see use. One county wants to have evidence that a gun is shot at least six times per year, although there is absolutely ZERO requirement in law to say that. I have nineteen guns, and shooting each of them at least six times a year would likely require for me to live at the range.....
Might not be such a bad idea, in fact....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............................
Right? Those boat mishaps cost alot of firearms!People here need to stop drinking coffee, and riding boats
Well maybe not worth more, but it gives a perspective buyer an idea of its condition....Well, that way they can say it's "NIB", "never been shot"........ Supposedly that is supposed to make it worth more...
I hear that! NIB means "I bought a new gun, now I'm gonna go shoot it""Collectors" are a whole different "thing". I personally have never had any desire to have a gun I can just look at but hey that's me. I have told the story of one time I ended up with a Mod 29 "collector". It was one of those that came in a wood box display case. Guy pre internet, short on cash, made and offer too good to pass. It had never been fired, not even the line around the cylinder from the hand dragging. So it sat, bothered me so much I went out and bought a beat up 29 even though I was not really "into" these. That one I could go shoot. Long later a collector just had to have the nice one and he paid me so much for it I was doing the happy dance all the way home from the show. He seemed happy, I was sure as hell happy.
Before they made buying and selling such a PITA I rarely bought a NIB gun. I would watch the ads for what I wanted used. Was glad to buy one already used. If I bought it NIB it was only going to stay new for as long as it took me to get to a shooting spot.
Hey I like that definition !!!I hear that! NIB means "I bought a new gun, now I'm gonna go shoot it"
Some of us chose to own highly collectible and/or historically significant arms, and some of those are simply too old to shoot, or unsafe to do so, even with a reduced load, so they are preserved and enjoyed in that way! I do have others of the same make and model and year that are shooters and I enjoy shooting them often!
I'm pretty sure that's not legal unless you have an FFL. Yeah that's a felony .I've bought and sold just to flip for cash on a highly sought after item.
I've traded into another gun that I didn't need that was easier to sell than the gun I started out with.
I collect guns I foresee to have value and will appreciate.
I've bought guns to be used with silencers, to only get tired of waiting and sold to free up funds.
Just a few examples.
I shoot a lot of others. I don't always keep all of them. Some I don't even shoot.
I don't chase the game as much as I used to, but I still enjoy a good flip or two if possible.
*Please note that I do not consider myself as gunsmith , I can do some basic repairs and some "prettying up" of metal and stocks , but that is not the same as being a true gunsmith.
