I was looking for something today, and in the process of looking I realized that I have a lot of old non-functional guns that I don't have the time, resources, or interest in fixing up, and they probably wouldn't be worth it anyhow. I've accumulated a lot of junk over the years. I suspect I'm not alone in that regard. I found a worn out Spanish Mauser in the closet, a Noble single shot .22lr that's missing a bolt, a #1 Enfield .303 that needs a barrel and a few other parts, a turn-of-the-century Forehand & Wadsworth revolver that needs some parts, a Turk Mauser that needs a barrel installed, and a couple other practically worthless things.
Some of them would be worthwhile projects, someday. I can't justify spending the money on gunsmith work, figure someday I'd like to get some tools and do that kind of thing myself. It doesn't make sense to pay a gunsmith $100 to install a barrel on a gun that would hardly be worth more than that. At the same time I can't bring myself to just get rid of them. So, I guess I'll just put them back into the closet and call them "someday projects". Someday I might get around to tinkering with them.
Just thinking... Hope you all don't mind.
