This is a good one for thought and reflection. I got rid of most of my safe queens over the course of the last year and this coming weekend intend to swap out the last of them.
to go: A Remington 870 Wingmaster factory parked 20" rofle sites, 8rd tube, really an early police model but that smooth wingmaster action. a Springfield single shot .22 bolt gun, probably late 30s early 40s era, shoots great, but my kids have outgrown it and prefer the Romanian training rifles I bought them last year. Thats about it. Space will be cleared for the Cavarms due to arrive Thursday, and I think I'll add a Ruger 22/45. That leaves me only with stuff I actually shoot. |

I have not fired My Arisaka 6.5 (too expensive and dont have an effective cleaning kit). Everything else has had a good workout.

My Remington 721 .30-06, Remington 700 .22-250, or my Beretta Silver Snipe 12 gauge O/U.
Everything else has gotten some use. OH, I almost forgot. I haven't shot my Vector UZI yet either. BUT it's not my fault, I swear ! The ATF hasn't approved the transfer to my Arizona dealer yet.... I'm STILL waiting. [:(] |

Wow, shees, most of them.
I have too many C&R rifles. Most didn't get shot this year. Heck, I've got a few that I have never fired even once. |

Remington 581BDL left handed .22 bolt action.
All the others have seen plenty of use. [:D] In fact, this is the first year in quite a few that my guns have been fired. I moved from a very gun-unfriendly area to a small town that has no problem with guns and has a great little club not far from my house! First thing I did was get through the paperwork/permitting process and join the club. I have been a happy man ever since!!! |

Most of mine haven't been out of the house this year. I've got three rifles that make every trip to the range, about 15 more that take turns going, and the rest just hang out in the safes.

Due to layoff I have not fired [u]any[/u] centerfire this year.
I have enjoyed a little release with my 22RF's and shot one of my AR's with the Ceiner conversion. This I do in the comfort of my own home with an Outers bullet trap purchased years back. The bright side... I have a Smg with can waiting to have the paperwork processed - It was paid in full in 12/2001 - I have just been waiting for a CLEO who would sign for the can... - And he takes office in January. |

Crud...just checked the safe--- while waiting for our guests to arrive----
I have an SKS I forgot all about. I bought it years ago when they were seventy bucks as a backup because I was putting a 20 round mag and plastic stock on my first one. I never shot it after taking the cosmo off with oven cleaner and then spraying with T-9. Better not let my wife know that [:)] |

Quoted: Since it is New Years---What guns in your safe have you not shot in the last year? I have not shot my full size Double Eagle 45--whenever I wanted to shoot a 45 other than my 1911 I always grabbed my Double Eagle Officers, since that is what I carry. My Benelli M1S90 & one of my G19's Interesting you mention the Double Eagle. I came real close to buying a Officers LtWt version once & have been kicking myself ever since for not getting it. I never see those pistols anymore, really scarce these days. It's a underated gun IMHO, easy to work up a great trigger in one. |

I own eight rifles, six handguns, and one shotgun.
Of that flight - the only ones I haven't shot regularly/or at all last year have been my Ruger MKII 7 Rem Mag, and my Marlin 1894 .44 lever action. But, not-to-worry, I'm gonna rectify that situation very soon........ I feel a good shooting year comming on! |

The only weapon I didn't fire was the old Mossburg 500 w/ the riot barrel that sits behind the nightstand collecting dust. This thread promtpted me to go inspect it, so I had to cycle the shells through....turkey load, 00 buck, turkey load, 00 buck, turkey load. Ouch.

What guns have I not shot:
1. "My" FNC with an S & H Sear (transfered to my brother out of state until I can move to a free state). 2. HK 53 (Nick Hope Conversion on a Billistics RR HK 33) as it is sitting at the gunsmiths, again until I finish school and move to a free state. 3. All the guns stored out of state: Ruger Vaquero, HK USP .45, Delta Elite, S & W 1006 and 1076, Ruger Mk II, Beretta 21, Ruger 10/22, Swede Mauser, Finnish M-N, Win. 94. 4. A few I have not had a chance to shoot here-- Savage 110 E, Colt 25wcf SAA. 5. Some new ones--another FNC, a Galil, an M1 Garand in .308 and a Rem PSS. In some cases, I have had other people shoot my guns much more than I have, but I usually try to get off a round or two. My new years resolution is to shoot all I will have a chance to. AFARR |

Only have one safe queen and that's a preban stainless Mini-14GB w/factory folder. It's in like 98% or better and don't want to mess it up. Besides I have 4 AR's, a M-21 clone, a PSG-1 clone, and others to play with so it evens out.

This is one of the rifles I inherited when my father passed away, and I'll never part with it. Buckaroo, thanks for the reply. That 721 you've got is a nice rifle. Got a friend in far West Texas who's looking for one. He had two 721's, one a .30-06 like yours and a .270 Win. I won his .270 in a card game about ten years ago and he misses it. His other 721 was the .30-06 but he sold it to a guy in Lubbock who rebarreled it to some wildcat caliber. My friend called in early December trying to buy mine back but I'm restoring it. Told him if I did sell I'd call him. If you change your mind let me know. Happy New Year. |

A S&W 4 inch 686 and a Taurus model 85. When I get a chance to go shooting other than my .22 I just never pick up the wheelguns. I sold a Ruger single six convertable I dearly whish I had back, 4 5/8 inch barrel and was a sweet shooter.

Hell, I have traded guns that I have not fired. I just get in the mode of I want something different.
I do not even know what I have, I end up shooting the same 3 or 4 guns every time. The rest just sit in the safe. |

My 1851 Navy replica and my 1860 Army replica weren't fired last year. I might pull the nipples on them and hang them on the wall. They are great guns to start with, but I just don't care to reload them.
I try to shoot everything else. |
