I was going through the safe and finally counted my collection and I have 14 muzzle loaders. While this may be a lot less than some and more than others there were two I can't remember why I bought them. One is an Ethan Allen 50 cal #126 with the Schuetzen stock (very rare) and the other is a Hopkins and Allen 58 cal under hammer that has been shot only 12 times ( 2 by original owner and 10 by me). What to do?

A little is good, a lot is better and too many is just enough. Go to the range early and leave late. Repeat daily.

Sell off what you don't want, and upgrade to a better quality gun with the money.

You are correct. 14 is way too many. You need to send me the excess ones until you get to a suitable level.

You can check G B. As far as I can find out there were only a couple Schuetzen stock models made.

Your under hammer looks awesome! Too rich for my blood right now though.

Both shoot GREAT and are really good conversation starters.

Lovingly clean them all and then foul them regularly. Repeat.

I have way too many guns, but not nearly as many as I want.

"Too many muzzleloaders" is HERESY! "Too many" is not actually possible! You can send any excess to me, of course; but what you need to do is get a couple more.

These two are ones I bought on a whim and have only shot once at the range. I have developed a true love for 45 caliber slug guns, Hawken and Lehigh long rifles.

I once owned 8 and now have 3 in 50cal..... perfect for me.

I only have 9, but the 9th one is unshootable though. So you are doing better than me with only 14 of them.

Good morning
Whatever you do not start into original military rifles / carbines. Unless you have a friendly museum nearby who will happily "store" on display your items. That has been our solution for 25 years.

"I have too many guns ..." Don't EVER let your wife hear that or you'll be in huge trouble for the rest of your life!

Was there an actual problem in that original post? Possibly a shortage of black powder or flints that I missed? I'm so confused! Too many nice guns is a problem how? <head explodes here>
