Wow amazing, I am inspired to get more. I thought I was addicted to the firearm syndrome I don't know that was just an head start. Time to get more firearm.
There are many more on my wish list, it's just finding them that takes so long. Sometimes I walk into a local pawn shop and find something unexpected, especially for where I'm at.
Example walking into a local small Gun & Pawn shop, and finding a 1 of 3,000 Finnish 1927 Tikkakoski stepped barrel M91 Mosin Nagant, built on a 1895 Izhevsk receiver. Couldn't get my wallet out fast enough, all while trying not to grin like the Cheshire Cat. Stole it for $299.00 OTD in Jan 2012.
At another Gun store I found a Finnish M91/24, built on a 1915 to 1917 Remington receiver, with a Böhler Stahl stepped barrel. Stole it for $185.00 OTD in Dec 2017.
I scour any Gun store or Gun & Pawn I can find and see what goodies or treasures I can find. Sometimes the deals come to me. Went to a local gunshow and when I walked out I saw something laying just behind the front driver's side tire of our Expedition. Turns out it was a Militsry/LEO surplus 20 round AR magazine, got to love those deals.
I have my eye on a Carcano Cavalry model right now, it's in a gun shop literally 0.4 miles or 1 minute drive from my house. That is the dangerous store for me, as it's so dang close....He's gotten a fair bit of my gun funds over the last two years.....I'm always looking for the next stray, homeless, milsurp to adopt!
I keep a book with a complete list of my firearms on a spreadsheet, plus there is a two page document for each weapon. A description page with pertinent information on the firearm itself, plus date bought, price paid, current market value (Updated every 6 months), the second page is a photo of said weapon. Book is awesome for filing Police reports, insurance purposes, wife purposes, etc. Plus there is the electronic copy on the computers, and USB drive and CD copy in the safe.
My kids will get their pick of what they want, my wife will decide how many to let them get or which ones to let them pick from, and the rest she'll sale or hold onto. Her decision if she outlives me, especially with my heath issues.
