Your goal. Take it out and shoot it.

[41Dude]

On the oldest firearm thread I noticed many firearms in your stash/safe/closet have not been fired in years. That's a little sad but correctable. Let's make this the year of
taking your old friend out and burning up a little ammo.
The sound of freedom

I am cleaning up an old 6" Model 19 that I have not used in forever. Time to let it breathe a little in the sun.

Been planning to get out to the range soon. I'll take my OM Blackhawk in 45 Colt!

I have actually thought of taking out a particular caliber and burning up all the ammo I have then selling the brass and guns as a method of divesting my collection.

 

[41Dude]

That would work It would give someone else the chance to enjoy it.

It's hard I try to rotate my stash but sometimes you end up always shooting you favorite only

I know. I am just as guilty. I am trying to give all of my pets a little more time at the range.

Soon, very soon!

Mine will only get used if someone shows up at my house that doesn't belong there.

I am a rudimentary collector with nowhere convenient to shoot and although I don't have a whole bunch, there's a different reason each doesn't get used much and probably shouldn't. SD stuff, on the other hand, is hard to excuse "un-use".

I like your GasGuzzler handle. I need to go out in the neighborhood today and get a picture. A guy has an older Plymouth in his driveway. His license plate says.

I am guilty of that. I don't shoot many of my old favorites anymore because the old eyes don't like iron sights and I don't want to bastardize them by mounting optics on guns that were not designed for them.

I just can not imagine mounting a scope on my old "Bunny" gun, Stevens 22/410 or on a Remington Model 8 or the Savage Super Sport 30-30 that I shot my first deer with 60+ years ago.

I just keep these old favorites so I can pass them on to the Grand kids that are not big enough to shoot them now.

"Your goal. Take it out and shoot it."
Thought this was an intro to "How to meet Liberals."

41 has a super idea , get them to the range . I have been doing that lately ,taking an extra gun or two along on range trips . Just handling and shooting them ( for me ) feels almost like an accomplishment .

Took my old Ithaca model 49 out to the back deck to ding some swinging steel.
