I have a foot in both camps. I tend to accumulate as I can't resist a bargin if one crops up and then every so often I clear a few out of the accumulation in order to collect something else. I tend to hang on to a hard core of guns that are in the collection although all are there for shooting. Some guns are then a means to an end and that is how the collection has grown over the last thirty odd years. Lagopus.....
