    Guns not shot by me....
    Out of 60+ i would say 8 havent been shot by me and 3 are still NIB as they were gifts that i havent got around to yet.

    I could only put up with looking at a potential wall hanger 1853 Enfield 3-band .577 about 3 weeks before I started working on making it shoot. After 150+ years of rust removed from inside barrel, and clogged flash hole re-drilled, success! Another rifle that is a blast to shoot!. It does take a little work when shooting to compensate for the bent barrel, but still batting 1000 with all rifles owned being shootable, and all part of the shooting rotation.

He is now a convicted felon and the guns are mine.

    2. One is a "Dragoon Era" 91/30 and the other is a .300 ACC BLK I just put together. Along the same lines, my Garand has only been to the range once. I need to remedy that.

    I had a 303 Beretta 12ga that I won in 1990 from DU its numbered and signed. I didn't shoot it for nineteen years 4 years ago opening day of dove season I decided I don't collect guns, I shoot them, and took it hunting. Last night around 6:30pm I bought a Mosberg Maverick 12ga at 1:30pm today I shot it, Whata great gun for the price.

    LOL how long is never?? i have shot all my guns in the last 18 months or so. and all but one have been shot in the last 2 months.

    i think some have made it to 3 years between shots. but i usually buy guns i have ammo for. so a new gun gets tested ASAP.

    after buying a 'new' derringer that would only go bang half the time. i like to know a new gun works.

    This will be changing to ONE in the near future, when I finally take possession of the 7.35mm Carcano that my uncle gifted to me.

    And as soon as I get to a range that will allow me to shoot rifles, I will be fixing THAT problem...

    Wow, I guess the number of unfired guns in general has been going up here. The more I think about it the more I think of that need a range trip. Some need ammo made up first.

    I went on a collecting binge a few years ago and ended up with more than I could fire. After making several moves between getting divorced and changing duty stations; I still havn't been able to get out and shoot everything.
