• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

post your guns!

Suppressors are illegal in some places and heavily regulated in others. I haven't had to the urge to buy one, then pay the $200 tax stamp fee and send my fingerprints to the feds for a background check so I cant actually take it home.

Unfired Colt? It's like a trailer queen, nice to look at but defeats the purpose of having it.

I love Rugers. Glad their politics have gotten better over the past few years, actually selling guns with large capacity magazines and not limiting things to the public. I had a Ruger SBH in .44 Magnum some years ago. Sold it to my brother in law because I had a .44 S&W and I liked how it handled better. I need to get myself a .357. I've shot some, but never owned one.

You have any idea what an unfired 3" Python is worth? I have plenty of other firearms to play with... Reckon I will post another rare one..

This is a Browning 9mm High Power Competition. Not a lot of them around because few were made. 6" barrel and pretty accurate.

My old co2 gun. Fire weapons are illegal in the worlds most violent country. Its like in the old west except only the bad guys have guns.

Yep, I do know how much they're worth. Doesn't mean I agree with it or I'd own one like that.

Very nice on the Browning. I've always loved them as much as 1911s, but I have yet to find one that's just called out my name. If I ever get a 9mm, it'll be a Hi-Power or a Beretta.
 
An unfired weapon is pointless...because before anyone buys it they are going to want to fire it to make sure it works anyway. Honest wear increases value, doesn't mean you have to shoot it everyday. But never shooting it makes zero sense.
 
I reckon collecting anything from stamps to cars makes no sense to some of y'all. It is a hobby. No more no less. Frankly it is none of y'all's business whether I drive my collector cars, or shoot my unfired firearms. It makes perfect sense to me that an unfired firearm is worth considerably more money than a worn out identical one. Some of you are young and probably don't get this concept. As I stated before I have plenty of other firearms to play with. Honest wear does not increase valuation of any firearm. Geesh.. class over.
 
Very true. Same goes with baseball cards and every other collector item. The value of a highly worn bent cornered Mickey Mantle rookie card is no where near the value of one that has been in a sleeve. Cars price depreciated with mileage on them. Guns depreciate if fired, unless it's the gun Robert Ford shot.
 
Plus if someone wants to shoot a rare unfired gun is dumb to want to shoot it before they buy it. A person looking for that specific gun has one plan on their mind, to collect it.

Pardon me. What makes thing important to me are the thoughts and memories related to them, not the just the object itself. I've got an Arisaka Type38 my grandfather brought back from the Philippines in WWII. It's nowhere near mint, but I'd never get rid of it. I measure worth in more than monetary value; there's usually blood, sweat, and tears involved. I'm sorry, my pinky doesn't fly as high as yours. My bad.

Ruger makes very nice guns. My friend has a sr9c and it is a great handgun. Ive shot my revolver a few times at the range and it is pretty sweet :cool:

Ah.. I have my Fathers Brownings, smiths that were inherited. NO money could buy them. However I enjoy all my hobby's and worked hard to establish my collection of both cars and firearms. I could care less what people say or think about them. Usually it ends up in a rude statement like you made.
