    Too many guns?

    In the olden days I had one little Diana M22 in 177. When I went out shooting I just picked up that little gun and some pellets (Marksman's finest!) and went.

    Now I have so many guns I just never know which to take. I've spent the last two months moving my ATN nightsight from one gun to another as I can't decide which is best!

    The philosopher Thoreau was found of saying "simplify, simplify"

    I often think he was right!

    I agree. I'm down to 1/4 of what I once had, and still too many. My target is about a dozen so they all fit in my "20 gun" gunsafe (but pistols don't count). Moving house over summer so that there's an incentive - reduce space and raise cash.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Mrs Bum asked how many guns I had only last week, I don’t know the answer to that, but it’s nothing compared to true collectors.

    I did work out I have 19 different calibres though

    Beware of the man with one gun.

    We all do it. Too many then have a clear out to make room for more I think it goes: two out three in...

    I only have 2.
    I learned on Saturday that most people seem to have at least 10x that.
