    Collections. Upsizing or Downsizing ?

    How "stable" in term of numbers are your airgun collections ?

    Mine seems to flutuate "big dipper style" either going up after a period of fairly intense acquisitions or reduce if I want something say expensive be it another piece of shooting equipment OR anything else for that matter !

    At present I seem to be off-loading a few in preparation for buying another bit of "pricey kit" and a possible house move !
    All in all, my collection is never really stable.
    “An airgun or two”………

    Pretty much the same here but there is always one (or two ) that you feel you dont want to loose

    Try to keep to 15 at The mo because thats all all I can reasonably store in my man cave
    Had a recent Guitar clear out as well and ended up with something I would not have normally spent so much on !
    bonus being I now have less to fall over

    I'm at the one in, one out stage at the moment due to storage restrictions. Fortunately, there's not much I'm seriously after with the possible exception of breaking the bank with a Giffard Co2 pistol.

    My problem is bringing myself to offload duplicates when I find something better which doesn't help the storage situation.

    Regards
    Brian
