    I stopped collecting rifles ages ago!

    Now I just foster them.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS.

    You really are afflicted!

    Odd you may think but unlike some of you illustrious Gentlemen on here who have some fantastic and enviable collections, I'm happy with what I've got !
    I dont really shoot them anymore apart from the odd "plink" in the garden or on permission land although I'll probably do more after I retire in four years or so, thats the plan anyway ?

    So, all in all I'm pretty content with "my particular lot" but I wish everyone in "Kollectors Korner" all the best in their endeavours !

    Anyone else feel the same ?

    I stopped a long time ago. Now I am just "completing" the collection...

    Collections

    Well Gentlemen,
    I have to say I feel rather inadequate now as I only have 13 rifles and six pistols, and I was thinking about getting rid of them.

    Perhaps I can find some medication to improve this

    That's a bit drastic!! I think that stopping collecting is easy; it's the not starting again that's difficult!

    A bit like smoking really and I cracked that, but haven't cracked the drinking or collecting yet!

    Fully agreed. Sounds like me!

    One day, a FWB 300 S WILL make it into the collection. At the moment I've got wifey softened up with the promise of a new cooker, so either a 99 or a 77, owned by old Walter up the road, will be in the cupboard before she gets the arse on!!

    No offence, by the way, I wish you luck, I really do.
    Yep, fully agree with this too.

    Lots of brilliant replies, by the way, chaps!!!
