    I'm completely losing track of what guns I do and don't still have...

    You lot are mostly old right ? I'm not even 50 and I seem to be slowly losing it...

    Just asked my Dad to bring up the old Diana MkIV he has when he comes up next weekend for Kempton... He emailed back a while later to say that he doesn't have it, and he thinks he's already given it to me.

    "No way" says I... then I did a search on the BBS...

    Opppps - I sold it for him 10 years ago
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    10 years ago - that is just sad, you need help

    Losing it

    Its when you can recall your first day at school but not what you had for brekkie this morning you have issues.
    Losing track of the guns is quite common but still disconcerting

    I realised I was losing it a few years ago when moving home. I came across a .22 BSA Standard underlever and couldn't for the life of me remember buying it, shooting it or even seeing it before. Admittedly at the time I had far too many guns, but even now, after two major auction consignments pared the collection down by 75%, the memory of that rifle reminds me not to take it for granted that I know exactly what I have tucked away.

    Is it the one I lent you?

    Well it was worth a try.
