how many of you?...

[Yingy]

I like seeing the different guns listed under a members name myself.  I don't think anyone is bragging that "I have more toys then you do".  You can see who has a rifle or pistol that you own too, like avator said.  I'm happy if a guy or gal has collection of guns, means their having a ball with their hobby/sport.  Someday I hope to have a small collection to pass on to my son or daughters.

[stonykill]

 I used to list them all, now just list my favorites.

[mudduck48]

I listed some of mine because I could. Need more room for the collection of about 70+. Not enough characters remaining to list all of them. And this is only part of them. Why do we show our stuff? because we can. This hobby is addicting and before you know it, you are broke.

I like to see what people shoot. Also it gives context to what the person is saying and helps the reader get the full picture.
Also helps to spur on follow-up questions. For example if Manny takes a hog, i can ask why he used a particular rifle on that day, and how would things have been different with his other rifles.

Hello DavidS.
 It is just not a fair go to make a statement like that and walk away.  Please follow it up with a full length post listing all your guns and if possible with photos. Consider the positive side and how much pleasure you will give the rest of us. That doesn't even touch on the " my affliction is not as bad as his" satisfaction.
I suppose it would be too much of a task but may be good for your personal records.

I attempt not to show off.  Though all of mine are MSP's.  I do not feel like pulling out my back up guns to photograph them, though for the current list since you ask:

• 2 Crosman 2289g's, both modded and with 18 inch barrels.   One at about 13FPE the other at 15.2FPE
• 5 Crosman 66's, two moded, one at 14.1FPE one at about 12FPE, the other 3 factory stock.
• 2 Daisy 880's.  One at 12.6FPE the other at 12.4FPE.
• 2 Crosman 2100's.   Factory stock, still in box.
• 2 other Crosman 2100's non-functional for parts.
• 2 Crosman 1322's, modded with 12 inch barrels, have not chronied.
• 1 Old 392, needs a reseal.
• 1 Old Blue Streak, needs a reseal
• 2 Crosman 760's with Rifled barrel, stock power
• 1 Crosman 760, HPA tube bulk conversion with rifled barrel, need a reseal.  One of my old experements.
• 1 Crosman 760 smooth bore factory stock power.
• And a bunch of other failed experiments that function though not worth the time to pull out.

And I will never again attempt to show off like this, it is a bad feeling.[/list]

  David it is more a source of information to the newer members with questions. When they see what you have and are looking in that direction, answers to those questions are easier to get when you can ask a member who owns one and has tinkered with them. All of my rifles were acquired after getting info from other members with the exception of my 880 and Gamo Whisper. I was also able to improve the performance of the Gamo With the guidance of fellow members thanks to their experience ( Bullit) to name 1 of many who responded to my questions

After reading this thread I decided to remove my list of toys. It really made me think, how many forum members think I'm a douche and I'm bragging? Well I'd rather not have that.

Mulby,
I complimented you on your  list of toys a couple weeks ago and please know it was simply that, a compliment.  Sorry if that made you uncomfortable, not my intent.    If you never listed your toys I would never has recognized you as someone capable of making a comparison between the guns we talked about.  Information that I would like very much.     Just saying.

I personally really like reading people's lists! Some people have some really amazing air rifles!

David S:

Thanks for listing. It gives me an opportunity to ask a question. We bought a couple refurbished 2100 crosman rifles and I was wondering what mods and how easy it would be to do these mods. I really like the steel construction that crosman has maintained with these guns. It seems like everything else has morphed into cheap feeling plastic. I'm just sad that they don't have wood. You listed 2 of them in boxes and 2 for parts. What mods, if any, are you considering?

Well the newer 2100's have a long plastic piston like the 13xx guns just longer.  So stuffing the piston with steal rod will work, you can also port the valve (be careful), and not much else for simple mods.   There are a few mods that can be done with a lot of extra work.

I do plan on converting one of them to HPA (like I already did with a 760), by tube bulking and using the default valve (I will probably post a thread when I get around to that one).

What are your goals?

We may wish to continue this in a new thread in the Crosman section so we do not hijack this thread.

My airguns are listed so that those who might have a question about one of them, they may notice the list and ask. If I was shallow enough to use it as a bragging "look what I have and you don't" list, then I'd be shallow enough to lie and just pack my list with only the best rifles known to exist.

Never thought about it that way.  Though there are still not enough characters available in the signature line to list all of them.

As you can see from my above post all of mine are low end MSP's because that is what I like.  I have noticed that most do not like them though.

mine changes faster than I can update my profile....have had over 40 since the fun shoot last year as others have rifles just visit me......

I agree about a new thread. I was thinking more power and less pumping. I'll be looking forward to you mods. I don't have access to the equipment to do major mods like some people so, I look for the simple ones like stuffing pistons and such. Again, so as not to hijack this thread, I'll be waiting for yours. I too enjoy the lower end , self contained guns.

A perfect example of what the GTA is all about. It's a great tool for a group of people to share knowledge and experience with other people with the same interest and it promotes this industry to explore and expand which, in the end, benefits us all. It's great to know what you all have and what you have done to improve or personalize them. For me, it's not just about slinging projectiles downrange. I can do that with a straw and chewed up paper. It's about learning and seeing the results for myself... and maybe meeting a few cool people along the way.

[Sfttailrdr46]

  I agree with what Avator said it is about tinkering with my rifles to see what I can do with them, meeting cool people and shooting  all three work for me

Well every one got me to put a few more of my guns into my signature in case I can be of help to some one new to any of them.

It's like the kid hauling all his toys around the neighborhood in his wagon for everyone to see the day after Christmas

All a gun List is,.....  a way to let you know what direction into airgunning an individual has taken,
 the spectrum is huge, by having a list of your guns you let people know where you are in that spectrum
