    Wow... I think my collection is complete.. done buying?

    I've spent a lot of time buying and selling guns.. I get one, enjoy it, then sell it and buy one a little nicer.. My goal is to end up with a varied collection so I lots of different stuff to shoot. I also tried to limit my calibers as much as possible.. so no .40, .44 or a bunch of rifle calibers. I also stayed away from bolt-guns since that's a whole other can of worms.

    This month was crazy.. I sold 4 or 5 guns and bought 5 or 6.. But with what I bought today I think I'm done.

    Handguns

    Glock 17 Gen 4
    XDm 5.25 Competition Stainless 9mm
    Browning Hi Power 9mm
    Baby Desert Eagle 9mm
    Berretta 92FS 9mm
    Les Baer SRP 1911 .45
    Glock 36 .45
    Sig 220 Combat .45
    FN 5.7
    Ruger SR22
    Ruger Mark II Stainless
    High Standard Double-Nine (1958) .22
    North American Arms micor .22 revolver
    S&W (Pre M&P) .38 (1907)
    S&W M&P .38 revolver
    Ruger GP100 4" Stainless .357
    Ruger SP101 2.5" Stainless .357
    Taurus TCP .380
    Walther PPKs .380
    S&W Sigma OD Green/Stainless .40
    S&W Sigma .40 (beater gun)

    Shotguns

    Benelli M1014
    Remington 870 ATACs

    Rifles

    Custom AR - best I could piece together
    Franklin AR Pistol (yea, I know it's not a rifle)
    Russian "red" AK 7.62
    FN PS90 OD green
    Ruger 10/22 Stainless takedown
    S&W MP 15-22
    Henry AR7 .22
    H&K UMP .45
    H&K G36K .223
    94FS (MP5 clone) 9mm
    PTR91 GI .308

    This month alone I bought the G17, UMP, G36K, PTR, Desert Eagle, and I rebuilt my AR on a Sikens billet lower.. this list doesn't include the two lower I (in hindsight) smartly bought last month or my three 80% lowers.

    The only gun I overpaid for was the PTR I bought today for $300 over normal list because I wasn't sure when I would see them again and I have a ton of mags for it.

    So, I know I'm missing a couple of guns, like a Sig 226, but any other major holes? I sorta want to be done buying so I can spend my time/money on ammo and range time.. It's pretty damn addictive though (as I'm sure many of you are aware).

          I see getting into bolt guns as a HUGE money suck.. I'm OCD so I need to draw lines in the sand or I will go ape ****e.. lol

          I almost bought a Remington 700, but then started to think of optics, ammo, better stocks, better tiggers, jeweled bolts.. eek!

                  Wow, nice collection. Maybe add a sporting-type shotgun like a Wingmaster or O/U, SxS? And a bolt-gun like a Remington 700, Winchester 70-type?

                      How do you like the Five SeveN? That might me my next gun. Is finding Ammo a problem?

                        I'd say get a good cheap bolt gun in .223, and .308win


                        Get a good O/U shotgun with a 28 or 30" barrel.


                        A good .17hmr target rifle.

                        Other than that, that is a great collection and most would aspire to get to those numbers of quality guns.

                          Keep telling yourself you're done, every time I "think" I'm done I end up buying more.
