Honestly I do have to many guns. I have been thinkinf of selling my M70 pre 64 collection. I have purchased close to a gun per month since I was about twenty And I need to stop :shock:
SHEESH!! :shock:
Mmmm, sad to sell such a collection.
Do you use them?
If not perhaps there is an arms museum or gallery that would appreciate such a display.
If you have military arms there is usually some sort of museum crying out for good exhibits.
Past that I can't think of any other suggestions that don't involve actually giving them away or selling them.
A friend has just started getting out of shooting more because of health problems and he basically kept the things that he really has a passion for, like a 577/450 Martini trade rifle, an original BSA Martini .310 Cadet and some other little items like period .22lrs.
I guess it's a case of finding what you really love and use and then having the strength of mind to think "
I can't take it with me" and sell those that are sitting gathering dust.
If you have family who'd like particular items thats an easy out to begin with.
I'm not in a position really to even imagine how much room a collection like that takes up but it must be considerable.
At present I only have 5 complete rifles and I just acquired a large frame Martini action for custom rifle so 6 will probably be a premium unless something really interesting comes along.
I have a couple of Belgian-style Martini rook rifle barreled receivers with few parts in 32 WCF and 297/230 Morris and they would be amazing to finish(
if I could just find the freakin' parts! ) but that would only total 8.
Mmmm, I do go on.
