16 bore Beesleys.

While waiting to find my first one, I too have an accumulation. I have bought anything I can find from the year I was born, provided it's in good condition.

A long time ago a gun trader told me that "you make your money on the buy, not the sell" and I have taken his advice. I buy anything that's a good value, that I can resell to put some cash in the gun kitty.

For myself I keep Prussian doubles, lever actions, single shots, American bolt sporters. Pretty much anything in good condition that harkens back to the easier times for hunting and shooting, the magical "Golden Era" 1870's-1960's.

Started going to hell about the time that disco hit.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
