Title: Did Cleaning Up Today
Post by: gene_sc on July 15, 2010, 07:58:28 PM
After moving things around in the house and sweeping and mopping I decided to move many of my stray guns that I had laying in different rooms to my office again. Here are most of my gun collection. Not as many as some but more than others.  Redfeather has me beat for sure...:)

I count fourteen.  Last count mine were up to nineteen.  Need to sell some of those bad boys.  (Me, not you.  Still want that Royal?)

No Red, I still have one left. It is in the picture. Also have a synthetic cfx in back room along with a few others that I did not drag out. Also my M-Rod is still in the box from when Roald sent it back to me after he tuned her up.  Also still have two of the Crosman NPSS shooters in back room..:) Not enough room on the two walls there for the rest of them..:)

One of these days I will get three or four more racks including two for the upper walls..:) I think Timmy still has the circular rack I ordered from one of our members. Who knows if I will ever get it...:(

I'll tell you something Red... he has a lot more than 14 shooters. Maybe as much as three times that. If you would be inside his house, they are everywhere...everywhere...from kitchen to bedrooms to office to living room. You wouldn't believe it unless you saw it.  And I have.

Hey Jay I welcome anyone to put up their collections. That is one of the great things about posting pictures..:) We can show off our babies. I ran into a guy at a fun shoot a few years ago that had over 150 air guns in his collectio.. So my collection is kinda small compared to that. I am sure their are others with even larger collections...:)

Don't let my brother Gene fool you I was at his ranch and he has airguns all over the place lol. airguns in the house, airguns in the shop,airguns. airguns and airguns hehe. He kept bringing them out at the end of the day as we relaxed on the deck for me to shoot and I didn't even put a dent in his collection. I only have twenty five key word "only" and I'm trying to catch up to brother Gene lol. Ed

No way am I going to believe the Genes entire collection consists of 14 guns.... no way  !!!!!     Now if you multiplied that by 5 or 6 then you might be gettin close   ;D

Gene,

You have the same "problem" I have!  That's why I changed my tag to being "one less than too many!"  That way I don't have to count.  The answer is always the same...

Very nice, particularly the Pro Sport with that beautiful fiddleback figuring, which would you say was your favorite shooter, the one you go for all the time? and which would you claim as the better quality of all the makes you own. Just curious as to how you compare them all.

Gee, I must have missed that third pix.  Yep, you got me beat.  If you really don't want the Royal, I'll probably put it out to pasture.  You had mentioned checking back at the end of August, so I shelved it for the interim.  Might just go shoot it in a bit.  Why not?  Actually, been waiting for the gun show that comes to town every three months here.  Was a nice old rimfire I saw there last time and I'm hoping it shows up next week.  One reason I was unloading some AG's.  So many guns, so little cash.  Or is it gun poor?  8)

Hey David... just don't eat or drink anything while you're at Gene's. :D

It shouldn't be hard to loose 7 pounds or so. He'll never catch-on on what's going on. ::)

Oh heck, he may use a metal detector.  :o

In that case, you are on your own bro. 8)

Gene, it is interesting to read your remarks at the bottom. "The ones I sleep with". I see your first choice is the BSA Lightning. The more I read about this gun, the more I want to own one.

Dave the BSA Lightnine XL is a very sweet shooter and very accurate. It shoots in the 800 to 850 fps range with 7.9 CPs. Remember it is a carbine and not a long gun. I think it is about 36" long but shoulders very nice for me. I am a big guy with long arms that drag on the ground when I walk. Never have to clip fingers nails wit clippers..:)
Anyway my BSA is an original built UK model. Gamo has now taken over the springer division of BSA so if you buy a new Lightning XL it will probably have been produced in Spain. There may be some new BSA Lightnings left over in some retailers inventory. Just be aware.

Hey Gene:  I knew you had all those air rifles . . .  I just never knew you had a hardwood floor in your office!  Amazing.  I see a CZ-631 in the photos, but not a CZ-634.  And I don't see at least one of brother Ed's custom camo stocks I'm looking for in the pics.  I know you sleep with your favorites, so they must be in the bedroom, right?

Ya Tommy, like Bob said I have them everywhere..:) I just grabbed what was in arms reach and set them up..:) I think the CZ-634 is in my bedroom behind the closet doors..:)

I counted 30 in the top two pictures, if you subtract the overlap. Good to know there are more in hiding. There appear to be two black ones overlapping near the door.

Maybe this is another fund raising opportunity! Guess how many guns in Gene's picture! Guess how many guns in Gene's house! Identify all models correctly!

I feel a lot better about mine, now. I don't have that many (and many of mine are pistols). I will have to show julieshoot that there are worse case scenarios than me! :o
Title: Gene - You simply have to get rid of most of those rifles!
Post by: RedFeather on July 22, 2010, 03:32:26 PM
I've finally figured out all of these new server/forum problems.  Those gun barrels are deflecting the waves going to your server.  Signals are getting lost amongst the Gamos and BAMs and AA's, etc.  Best you get rid of them, RIGHT AWAY!  Don't even hesitate or the forum may be ruined forever.  Just pack them up, addressed to REDFEATHER, .............  ;D
