Not sure it ever does, I always find myself looking for air rifles on the verge of the trash can. Yes sometimes I may spend more than what the rifle is worth to others, but for me it allows me to use my repair skills and expand my knowledge of air rifles; and most of all I can own a vintage rifle for the fraction of the cost of buying a perfect example, yes I am also known to buy new ones on a rare occasion. Simple fact it never ends for me it evolves with the opportunity.

Simple fact it never ends for me it evolves with the opportunity. I know a couple of airguners that a big part of their enjoyment is repairing the gun. One guy often said "I feel cheated if I buy a gun that doesn't need work." Another guy said "I like to take a piece of &^^& gun that no one wants and make it shoot and look good when I get done".
