If I have it I shoot it................I sell guns I don't use often; I've always shot them before letting go.

Sorry I have none as I will not own a gun that I don't shoot and shoot often! Why own it if you don't shoot it! I even shot the totally S/N correct G98/40 my Dad brought back from the war a priceless weapon! But even those are ment to be shot -thats what they were made to do!:mrgreen:

You really need to shoot that Rem 7400, I just got one in '06 and it a pleasure to shoot! Even running cast boolits through it![smilie=w:
Clicked the wrong selection. Meant to say two. Recently bought a M14 and a AG42 Ljungman. Havent fired the M14 yet because I need to get locktite and pop the scope on there. The Ljungman I havent purchased any 6.5x55 swede.
One Matchlock, One DP Enfield and one skeleton Enfield. I like my face to much to shoot them. On the Jap Matchlock, it's worth to much to ruin it.
I got an sks and an Arisaka after Christmas I haven't even touched the Arisaka . Oh I cycled it to chech for clear and look down the bore stick it in the back walk away.
I have two that I know of and haven't shot . But there could be more since I would hide them from my wife at the time and forget where I put them ? So every now and then I get a surprise and find one
hiding .Need a bunch of kids to do an Easter egg hunt through my house
Have a 303 Brit that I have been too lazy to scrub the old cosmoline out of yet. Bought it because I had never seen one with a round Springfield cocking piece.
Otherwise anything unfired is because it is unsafe to fire and they don't count.
i have just one.
i've had it for about 10 yrs., BUT its all about to change.
i'm waiting on some brass, i have everything else...
a .400 whelen, on a springfield action.
its been in the family at least 85yrs.
it may have been fired before 1925, but thats just guessing.
wish me luck.
Since I started this thread with 5, then wen to 4, I've bounced back to 5 twice and went to 4 shortly after twice, and now at 5 for a third time, it'll be 4 again after Sunday, the new Ruger Alaskan .375 has 18 test loads ready to go with start loads through half way up the chart towards book max with IMR4831 and two different bullets the 270 grain Hornady and the 260 grain Nosler Accubond, we'll get her shot in with about 100 J's and get a mould.
Just can't wait. Still got two 06's, one 300 WSM and a .338 Win Mag to fire yet, guess I'd better get on it.
Been shooting the short guns too much I guess.
Had to do a recount but it's not as bad as it seems. None of them are great rifles as they sit. I think I have 9 that I haven't shot. A never issued SKS, a slightly used SKS and one I'm holding long term on a loan. Got a used Knight in .50 cal and two nib smokepoles, also .50 cal that I bought at a reducing inventory sale recently. How can you turn down 2 new rifles for $125? Yes, for both. Got a pair of Brazilian '08s in 7mm that were bought to build into custom rifles and a Yugo 24/47 Mauser that still has the re-arsenaling cosmoline on it. It was also bought to modify. The 08s are a little on the rough side as is to be too interested in shooting but the bolts and receivers are sound.

just one a mossberg 46 22 but i only got it last week
1, an Enfield MK4, only because I cant find any surplus ammo in my neck of the woods. I have owned it for 4 years,
1: Savage M88 in .308 (daughters gift)
2: Rem 582 .22 l.r. in excellent condition
3. Marlin 336 RC in .32 Special - I'll be shooting this as soon as the ambient temp. drops below 90 degrees in daylight.
(1) Remington Matchmaster [proper name ID?], U.S. Gov't marked, .22 LR
(2) .50-70 RB,
(2) 1903, 1903-A3
does layaway count?
I shoot everything I own, except my Elmer Keith S&W Commemorative.
It's why I'm broke...

dang never thought about layaway or custom being built firearms so I guess I do have a few.
I shoot all of my guns (I wouldn't have them if I didn't shoot them!). Though I do have a certain Savage 30-06 I haven't shot in over 2 years...
I only have one a sporterized mauser 7x57 I just haven't gotten around to it LOL.
