This sucks, my gun buying addiction is getting out of hand. I need more money. I will take donations.
 
Re: I have an addiction

Like my dearly departed father told me:

U want sympathy? Look in the dictionary, and U will find it between S--- and Syphillis.

Re: I have an addiction

Its like a drug addiction. That first one is the highest high you'll ever have. Next one you get will have to be bigger and better. You'll spend tens of thousands chasing that first high. I'm a recovering gun addict, IE I'm broke right now.

Re: I have an addiction

Thank goodness it's only an addiction. I thought this was a disease. So, there is hope??
 
Re: I have an addiction

If you aren't selling your plasma yet to fund your next build, or buy a box of the latest LR bullets, you haven't hit bottom yet, give it time!

We tend to concentrate more on coping strategies.

NO...there is no hope. You just learn to deal with what you got and move on. I'm working on my second wife, third house and fifth set of kids....but...I got guns.
 
Re: I have an addiction

No use to worry about it.
It'll get worse.

Oh man, I may as well start too. My name is remau308, and I also am a complete addict. However, I am not in that stage yet to want to quit...therefore I won't. But I will try....no I won't.
 
Re: I have an addiction

I thought I was bad, living on what ever scraps the kids leave around the house, to afford the new Super Sniper 5-20 scope in the group buy. Man it makes me feel better I am not alone. I knew it was bad when I was eyeing another safe, I already have two rather large ones, and running out of room.

Except for the .284 I want to build. Well, since I dont own a single LA rifle or a mag caliber rifle. . . .right? Everyone has to have at least one. Right?
.
.
.
Oh, and I dont own a good bolt .22LR either, everyone into Bolt rifle shooting NEEDS at least one, but after that Im done for real. . .

You cannot just have one you need them in pairs.
 
Re: I have an addiction

It's a multi step recovery process. The first step is to just keep telling yourself "I only need the guns I have plus one more"
 
Re: I have an addiction

This is great ..., I knew I was not the only one. I just need ONE more.
 
Re: I have an addiction

Am I the only one considering buying rifles by the case to get a better deal? :)
 
Re: I have an addiction

Hello, my name is Mr300 and I'm a gun fanatic.

You only need one more?? ME TOO! (at least that's what I said about 5 gun-buys ago)
 
Re: I have an addiction

the key is nipping it in the butt and every time you see a new gadget or gizmo say no... i dont need that my rifles fine. i have a friend who will take a hand me down bipod or entire gun and love that one rifle for ever. he dosent feel the need to modify it... hes just happy as is. if i could figure out how he does it then id be golden.

Welcome to the club, it's a large club with many members. There is no cure for your illness, fortunately there are numerous support groups to help you through the tough times ahead. There will be many peaks and valleys, you know you're in a valley when you can walk through an entire gun show and not see a single thing you want to own.

Sorry I am not looking to downsize, thanks for the offer though. The Springfields and Garands are some of my favorite rifles. I love to shoot vintage service rifle matches.

Kind of like I have come full circle and only have a few guns to my name! Sucks when you consider I had a lot more until the economy tanked and I had to sell most of them off to take care of the family and I. Now, I have a plan. I am in the process of slowly building it back up to a couple of good rimfires, centerfires, shotguns, and handguns. I think that even if I were rich, I could not get too big of a collection because I would be afraid of going through the pain of having to part with most of it again when some kind of financial problem came up. I don't want to own anymore than I can "bug-out" with, including the ammo for them. Just my thoughts.

Re: I have an addiction

My Dad and I have finally reached the point that we are buying .22 Ammo by the pallet , Powder by the Keg and any component order under 10K just seems like a waste of time .
 
Re: I have an addiction

I always wanted enough guns that I did not honestly know how many I really had. I am getting close I have it figured out to within five or so. I keep trying to buy guns I already have, thinking man it would be cool to have one of those.

My heart stopped when I read this.

What is this....s s s s selling, you talk of?
 
Re: I have an addiction

168BTHPM- That's a nice collection of Mossberg 44's! How many is that?
 
Re: I have an addiction

well I just got news that my next gun will be on it's way to my house in another two weeks. And after I get that one all dialed in, I think I only need one more gun
 
Re: I have an addiction

I impulse bought one yesterday.

That makes my YTD ratio, 15:12

Little more than 1 a month...
 
Re: I have an addiction

I am in the "I won't buy a gun for a year" phase with my lovely new wife. With the caviat that I can buy one if it is a REALLY good deal. She didn't say anything about parts though, so the new AR upper is on the way. Maybe, I will get the new SS 5-20 after that, then maybe a new howa barreled action. After all that, maybe some parts for my 10/22. I like making deals with my wife that have loopholes. Being a gun whore is fun!
 
Re: I have an addiction

Two weeks before my wedding (next friday) my HK USC came in. I have an MP5 parts kit and flat I just gotta send out to get built.

I feel your pain brother.

Thank you. I am not sure how many I have, the last time I had them all out and counted them I had 37, most are US PROPERTY marked. I have been collecting them for about 25 years. I bought some of them from the CMP along the way too. I have several US marked that are factory drilled and tapped for the Mossberg scope mount, two that are threaded for Parker Hale supressors and have British proof marks, one with target scope blocks on it, 6 or 7 42M(b) and 4 144US.
 
Re: I have an addiction

Good news! My next one is on it's way. I have a FedEx tracking number and I've followed it through two stops so far. I wonder if she is on an airplane at 39,000 feet right now?....Is she cold or hungry? I hope not, poor baby.

It's a custom 6XC deal built by Mac Tilton... "Can't Wait!"

Congrats! Mac is a first class guy, I have bought a number of guns from him.
