I'm not sure what you mean by "unsatisfied".
I'm always looking for the next gun, but that's part of the fun. It's not a problem. I don't "collect" for pristine 99% guns, I gather guns that interest me for some reason, often not sure why. And I like overseeing their restoration from old, used hard and not well maintained to beautiful, rehabilitated examples of what their original makers intended. I just need to make sure I'm dealing with a good set of barrels. And when the gun is "done" to my satisfaction, well....I'm satisfied with the process, I put it in the safe and then move onto the next project/aquisition.
Then comes the second part of the deal. I take those completed guns back out into the field, where they are supposed to be and use them to hunt birds over my dogs. To me, that is an entirely different pursuit, with it's own unique joys, from the finding and resurrecting of the guns. Two different hobbies.
Maybe it's because I came late to the gun acquisition thing....I hunted for almost 30 years with one gun.
