If I havent shot it in the last year or so, its going for sale. I used to have several pistols and several ARs... I'm down to one of each.

Unless it has collectible(collectable?) value. Also keep SKSs even if I dont shoot them because one day people will be paying 1000$ for it on EE lol :p
 
Keep them pristine! Especially the Winchester Commemoratives! How else will they forever sit in the EE for $1K by delusional sellers?
 
Never bought any intentional safe queen but have bought so many most never get fired, I have started selling off those I have not used and are the least likely to be used. For some reason only the low end cheap stuff seems to move like the SKS and the savage 22 mag
 
I think it depends on the safe queen. I'd shoot a commemorative Win 94, but if I got my hands on John Wayne's 92, no way.
 
Douglas, where have you been hiding? I haven't seen you post much in the last few months. And no my "collection" (if you can call it that), is nowhere near that and never will be. I couldn't fit that many in my house... Lol

Even it was 200 SKS valued at 250$ each... It is 50k worth of firearm !!

I assume you dont own 200 SKS and that the value is way above 50k then... PLEASE ADOPT ME !!! :p
 
I'm in the sell camp. Have had a very similar thread. It is hard to pick firearms that will go up in value. To me the value is experiences and memories.

A memory of scratching a pretty gun, losing significant value, is not a good experience. Instead I would rather buy a Chevrolet grade version of the same gun, complete with dings and scratches, and have it take me for a walk.
 
I'm amazed that the "let them sit in the safe" option is almost tied with "sell them" for top spot. Weird people. Weird.
 
Shoot only as much as your needs demand. Keep the safe queens as an excellent store of inflation proof wealth.
 
im stuck on my guns i love them i have 2 safequeens a 1986 browning a-bolt medallion 22lr never fired and a remington 700 BDL 8mm rem mag that was my dads and would never let go
 
I just have too many. Between handguns, rifles, shotguns, restricteds, non, I've got over 40. I can only shoot so many, so the rotation takes time lol.
