Get in the queue Or was it Dean C's Prosport I'm first in the queue for?
IJ's idea of a clear out is: for every two "in" one might have to go. A year later...nope didn't happen. Better start again.
I have downsized considerably. I liked them all, but happy to have passed them along too.
I have over the past year sold a BSF 55 and a BSA Superstar
O.K., O.K., so I bought a Walther LGV Match and a few other odds and sods but the thought was there.

I think my collections are relatively stable in number of airguns.
Dont know what my other half thinks though
I have specific taste of which models I like and dont like so if I have all models I like, there's no need to further increase the nr of airguns.
But if my collections consists of a brand that is still in business than collection may grow over time.

Space constrained. also if you get too many, you just don't get round to ever using them, and I don't like that. Every 6 months I llook at those I haven't shot for a year, and consider selling them - especially if they are releatively easily replaced. Pistols are easier as they take up so much less space, and easier to chuck half a dozen in the car and go off to the range, or shoot indoors when everyone else is out.
The trend right now is less modern stuff, and more older, interesting stuff, especially the basket case guns that eeryone else steers clear off, as I'm happy to make new parts, weld stuff, whatever to get them shooting again, even if they may never be the most desirable specimins
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
In principle, shift the less nice of the duplicates, get rid of the ones that have I have never really bonded with, move on the stuff I have just accumulated over the years, but don't use/like. Re-invest in a smaller number of really good things, reflecting my current tastes, and in some tuning and/or refinishing for some of the rest of what remains.
In reality, probably slight growth.
