I basically am trying to stick with .22, .223, and .308. Since my back surgery I don't shoot large calibers anyways. SGatr15 |

I like to have more than one rifle in the same calibers...........makes ammo stockpiling justifying
Its kind of hard to justify 2,500 rounds of one type of ammo when you only have one rifle of the that caliber |

I do it all the time. I try to stick with .45, .308, probably a 7.62x39 in the next year and maybe another 5.56 and thats about it. Besides the shotty. I try to stick with guns I shoot alot and get proficient with them.

I've sold off stuff I had doubles of , and I've sold stuff for
a profit that was too good to pass up . Guns are like women ... Having just one will usually get the job done , but eventually it gets boring shooting only it , and if you get careless they can kill you

I have done It I use to have 29 rifles at once I have sold 3/4 of them because they took different Ammo and I was having a hard time affording all of the different calibers. I am now down to .308 .223 .45 Even reloading was getting expensive. Another thing I quit buying was Acessorys that will only work with one type of rifle I spent more money on usless crap Now I think it over.

I have and I am glad I did. Most of it was crap that I would never use again.
Am trying to stick to just 2 calibers 5.56 and 7.62x39 I am thinking about dumping my 2 AR's and getting two AK-74 type rifles. |

That is a good price, but I already have a Beretta CX4, and feel no need to get another 9mm carbine. The CX4 is just for plinking anyway. Sorry. |

Consolidated mine a couple of years ago into all machineguns/suppressors:
- select-fire 22LR: standard Vector UZI - select-fire 9MM: standard/mini UZI - select-fire 45ACP: standard UZI - select-fire 223: Colt M16-A1/HBAR - select-fire 308: Beretta BM-59 - suppressed 22LR: Gemtech Hornet - suppressed 223: Gemtech M4-96D These are the only firearms I own except for a Kimber Pro-CDP for carry. |

I'm not rich, so I usually sold one to finance the next. There was always something just not good enough about all those rifles. As for the HK-91, I did not like the sights, it was heavy, and did not group for shit. The 94 was a 9mm; just not versatile enough. The Galil weighed as much as an M-1 Garand. And, with the rear sight on the dust cover, just would not keep zero. The AUG on the other hand was the best of the lot. Had no intention to sell it, but needed the money to pay for college. Yes I miss it... |

I consolidated on 9mm, 45 acp, 45lc, 454 Casull, 22lr, 22wmr.
Rifles 223, 308, 300 Winchster Mag. Sold a Stainless Walther PPKS in 380...still miss it. Sold a piece of shit CETME in 308 cause it was a POS Traded a 40 cal USP for a 9mm USP cause I had a lot of cheap 9mm around. Any new guns I buy will be in these rounds....unless it's something special. |

You folks don't seem to get the idea of a collection if you are parsing it down based on tactical considerations, or on usage.

I'm currently selling off a couple of AR15's because I'm buying an NFA UZI. I'll still have 4 AR's when it's all said and done though. Normally, I wouldn't ever consider selling any guns, but the price of NFA toys is going up so fast I wanted to get this one before it went out of reach. I can always replace the semi's later, and they won't cost much more than they do now, if any. YMMV.

I have a C&R since I love to collect guns.
I only SHOOT about 4 or 5. The other 40+ sit in safes. The only firearms I sold were AR-15's - only because I had more than one. Av. |

A year or two after I retired my FFL, I tried to do this...
When I found out we were expecting our first child, I tried to do this... I have come to the conclusion that consolidation of my firearms is not something I will ever be any good at... I sell/trade one every now and then to a close friend or family member, but the overall number just keeps creeping up. I have many, many more than I need - but very few with which I want to part. |

Yes, I do it all the time. In a sense, I have three collections: High quality modern firearms (AR, Benelli Tactical, SIG and HK pistols) WWII Allied small arms (Garand, 1911A1, M1 Carbine, Win 97 trench gun) And oddball calibers and firearms (CZ52, Glock 10mm, maybe an FN Five seveN soon). I have had a problem in the past with buying whatever is flashy and catches my eye, such as a Norinco Uzi copy, and finding no real practical use for it after a few fun range sessions. I have to force myself to buy quality the first time, rather than whatever catches my eye, then replacing it later. |

I find myself with two rifles for each "Cold War" caliber. It wasn't planned. It just kind of worked out that way:
5.56 NATO = Bushy Carbine, SU-16 7.62x39 = Yugo SKS, Arsenal SA-M7(s) 7.62 NATO = CAI "R1A1" on Rhodie lower, Soon (Feb?/March?) to be joined by an LRB M14SA complete build. My real weakness is ammo. I keep buying it at a far greater pace than I shoot it. 5.56 NATO = 5,000+ rds IMI M193/M855. Haven't purchased this stuff in a while. Anticipated the predicted increased demand for milspec 5.56 fodder and bought as much as I could afford last year from Botach (Yes, a role of the dice, but all I ordered made it to my house.) No need to tout how good this Israeli-made US milspec ammo is. 7.62 NATO = 3,200+ rds Aussie F4. Couple crates of the berdan-primed/stripper clip/bando stuff; couple crates of the bubblepack >'91-manuf. boxer-primed stuff. Incredible ammo. Still can't believe the Aussies got rid of it. Realizing the later manufacture ammo is boxer-primed was the icing on the cake. I may invest in some of the Argie & Spanish .308 milspec just now coming to market so I will be able to horde my Aussie F4 for a little while longer. . . 7.62x39 = 1,500+ rds Uly & Wolf. I've been using this more often as of late (hence lesser number "in stock") through my Arsenal SA-M7(s). I've been using the SA-M7 more frequently of late because I wanted to slow down consumption of M193 through the Bushy. The SA-M7(s) is an awesome piece of work - you won't regret the additional cost for the quality received in return. |
