There are several guns that I am not particularly interested in owning long term, but I definitely want to have long enough to chew on.
A Mauser C.96 and a Luger top the list.
They are interesting in how they are built and the Luger is interesting in how it works.
After I shot them a few times and took them apart obsessively for a week or two I'd be done with them forever.
That's true of a lot of the guns I used to own, actually.
Once I've fingered it and figured out how it works I don't want it any more.
It's heresy, but I could easily be rid of the 1903A3 and Garand. I know them now and grok their essences.
Of course, I am lazy and not actively selling them. Listing them on Gunbroker creates an obligation. I don't feel like being obliging.

Remind me and I will bring my 9mm broomhandle and my luger the next time we are in Florida.
ReplyDeletePlease allow me to squee.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever decide to sell the Garand let me know. Since I'm a FFL, the process would be a lot simpler than gunbroker.
ReplyDeleteIf I'd known you were interested, I could have brought my Luger (I've sold it since; it was awfully cranky about ammunition) when I drove down to see you that one time.
ReplyDeleteFor future reference, if it's a gun I am interested in playing with it and taking it all apart!
