On several occassions.
 I have found guns under beds, between matresses, and in closets that I had forgotten about.
Congrats on the "new" finds. Makes it fun.... |

I try and do a clean out a couple times a year of all the safes but it doesn't always happen. I like finding parts in "the barn" I forgot or didn't know I had. I found a Valmet .243 mag 2 weeks ago that reminded me that I bought a rifle to go with it. Also found one of the Caracals I bought from Reese. Ironhand, I finally moved that Smith into a safe but have yet to fire it. |

Has it been sitting on your workbench this entire time??
My safe has more family paperwork and ammo than guns. |

I don't discover forgotten firearms, but in 2013, when the shtf in the firearms market, I was looking for ammo to sell and make a quick buck, and I literally found about 3k of 308 I had "forgotten" and 20 308 pmags. Was like hitting the lottery that year.

AHA!! After reading and responding to this thread, I was going thru the top shelf of my safe. Under some boxes of the wife's jewelry, I found my old 70 series Colt Gov't Model in 38 Super. I haven't seen this pistol in about11 yrs. Put it on top of the boxes, and when it cools off a little in a month or so, it will be time to send some lead down-range.

You can get a cash premium if you sell a Colt .38 super around the southern border. Just kidding, don't do it. |
