I'd want mine in blue/black of course.

I have seen the Nagant revolver at aimsurplus.com for 80.00

I didn't know the Nagant's went that cheap, but man, good luck finding ammo. I have shot one though, it was neat.

How about a Buffalo Bill antique 30/30 rifle? Inherited it from my grandpa. Very cool and legal in Canada. No pics and not sure how old it is. I think 40 years old or so and in mint condition.

Last year I bought my first gun. I thought I would get one gun for home defense.

Now a year later, I just counted the guns in my safe and added them up. It's about $12,000 worth of guns. How the hell did this happen?

You're lucky you still only have one safe! Guns are very much like headphones or any other collectible, once you've spent $xyz on a gun, it's easy to spend that much again and slowly your tolerance creeps up!

As an aside, you might want to look into getting a special insurance policy for your guns. Most homeowner policies have caps on coverage for guns and gun theft is not uncommon. My grandparents' home was broken into when my father still lived there; the thieves walked from one end of the house past everything valuable including my grandmother's jewelry and took only the guns.

Good idea. If you are a member (or join) the NRA, you will get a measure of firearms theft insurance as part of your member benefits. You can up the limit for payment of an additional premium. Lots of gun owners do not wish to give a detailed list of their firearms to their homeowners insurer.

Another problem I have with guns is every time I sell one I wish I hadn't a month later.

With ammo so high now, I barely ever shoot my guns. I mostly just pull them out of the safe and look at them. haha

Buyer's Remorse: I know it well.

However, there have been some guns that I was really, really, really happy to unload/sell.

Please remember that you have a Constitutional Obligation to get out to the range with your gun(s) at least once a month and 1) be away from everything else in your life, and 2) SHOOTSHOOTSHOOT!! You will be a better person (and citizen) for it. Even just following the Four Rules improves mindfulness.

The only gun I've ever been really happy to get rid of was a Kel-tec p3at. I bought a Ruger LCP recently and have been way more happy with this gun.

Nice to see other recreational shooters here. My prized possession is a 1968 Al Weber custom .222 Rem benchrest rifle. It's like a single shot Remington 40x with a Zeiss Conquest 6-20x mildot scope. Kind of a classic LP player tube stage of rifles.

I hope that reloading supplies will get cheaper later on this year. My meager stash of small rifle primers are worth more than my compact 1911. I hardly even use my .22lr CZ 427 rifle now that prices are so astronomically high.

Welcome. My .25-06 Remington 700 is also out of 1968; one of the first production .25-06. And I own and shoot more than a dozen guns older than that. Puts me in touch. I'm still sitting on more decade old ammunition and components than I can get out to shoot; better that than the alternative.

Ammunition prices are only exorbitant; astronomical is closer to the range of scientific notation where we may begin to see the hand of God, within and without. So get out and shoot!
