Don't really think it can be described as 'hoarding' to collect different models of the same gun. Just an interest in that particular gun.
Looking at my very modest collection, I would like to have each in .177 & .22 versions, as they often behave differently.
Webley Mk3 x2, Falcon & Junior rifles, HW35x2, AirSporter x2, Gold Star, Meteors x2, Diana 25. SMK B19, Webley Senior, Premier, Hurricane x 2, Tempest, Dan Wesson 8", Crosman 3576, Legends PO8.
