dude those are expensive how did you afford them.

I dont really collect any special type of guns.

There are mainly two types of gun I want to own, the ones for self defense (either home defense or carry).In that you have mostly moderns firearms like semi-auto pistols, shotguns etc.

And the other type are the "fun guns", like the .22s plinkers, large caliber revolvers and such.

I dont collect any historical guns, even if I would like to own some of them.
I dont have any guns for hunting either.

I like older bolts, levers and revolvers. Really like the old Savage bolts. Not real expensive, but great value and not that hard to find. Marlin levers in better condition seem easier to find than Winchesters. Ruger revolvers can be found unfired from time to time and priced ok.

Also if I had lots of money (a couple of millions) I would like to start a "Noah's Ark style gun collection".
That's gathering a pair of every single gun I can find, modern or old.

That would be LOTS of guns.

No specific collection here, just half dozen pistol/revolvers, a couple military grade rifles, two 22lr (for fun shooting) and and old double barrel that was my dads.

My "collecting" has gone in spurts over the years, first it was shotguns, long barreled, doubles and pumps mostly, a couple of autoloaders but not many, then I went through a handgun buying spell for a year or two, and then I had a phase of rimfire fever. Then I took a little break from buying guns and bought a boat. Well the boat is paid off now so I'm back to playing with guns. For the past year I have been accumulating a few rifles, a Mosin started it, followed by an SKS, then AR, then AK and Draco...now I'm on the hunt for a 1911. Once I get that 1911 I'm not sure what the next "gotta have it" will be......but I'm anxious to find out

That's tottaly my thing!

We should be associate.I want to collect everything, and once im done do it again to have a pair of each.

I personally have just started to collect NFA items, 0- in house, 4- pending, a bunch more as i can afford them.

I don't really collect on purpose, but once I find something I like, I tend to buy multiples in different variations. It went that way with Mosins. That kind of grew into bolt action military rifles in general. I was like that with Bersas for a while and am now on a CZ bender. Not really collecting, but just trying to have a bit of fun.

 

[SEIndSAM]

My wife does enough collecting for both of us

Only thing I have collected over the past few years is grey hairs.

 

[Farscape]

Cheap is the theme for my current collection. If I was rich, I'd probably focus on odd unique guns such as the Gyrojets.

 

[JoshuaW]

I'm a shooter, not a collector. I like guns that I can actually afford to shoot, and I like things that are a touch quirky or unusual. I'm on a big bullpup kick right now, and I really hope I can buy something with my end of year bonus. I haven't bought a gun in like six months, and that is just depressing.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

More of a hoarder myself, though I'm trying to thin it out some.

After establishing our home/carry protection, my WWll veteran father passed away at 90 years old. I began wanting an M1 carbine in honor of his service in Europe in WWll. I couldn't afford a USGI version at the time, so I bought a post-war Universal. Shortly after that My wife wanted a firearm to put with her dads memorabilia from WWll, so I got her a USGI 1911 Remington Rand for our anniversary.
Recently, I found a USGI M1 carbine by Inland at a price I could afford.(INGO and its members are great!!) intending to sell the Universal.....but now I'm rethinking that.(postwar carbines have their own appeal.) During all this I bought a Mosin for the fun, but it seemed to fit into the WWll theme that was developing. Ahh....so it goes.
It's a good thing I don't have much money...the safe would be entirely inadequate!!

 

[revsaxon]

I tend to collect military weapons (AR's, MP5s, AKs, etc) and return them to a semi-factory state. In many cases this involves SBR-ing them, replacing parts, etc.

I loves all kinda guns, but think something like an UZI just looks dumb with a 16" barrel.
