Firearms You Have Never Fired?

[juniork5]

I have a few that have never been fired. It's just knowing I own them that is satisfying lol

This is an embarrassing thread. i started counting the unfired ones and that led to wondering if i should get rid of some….im going back to classifieds for some treatment

I probably have more I have never fired than I have fired, does not mean I am ashamed or ready to sell. Some I bought to leave to my kids/grandkids. Also I bought them when I had more expendable income to spend on ammo. Todays cost makes it difficult. So I just reach for my favorites

I buy guns to shoot them. However I have a few that have less than 25 rounds. Sighted them in,then they disappeared into the safe and were forgotten. They get wiped down occasionally, then back in they go.

That was me one day. I knew I had several collectibles, but the more I thought and then counted, the more I realized I had more unfired arms than I had ever realized. They are always there if needed or desired, and their current values have made them good investments.

Yes. I tried to avoid adding those in the thread, for that would bring the numbers up on many of us.

To be fair a lot of mine were gifted or from people who passed. They are more deme sentimental than shooters.

I have a Ruger 10-22 75th Anniversary edition that I purchased a few years ago. It is still in the box, unfired.

I also have a pretty good inventory from before the boating accident.

I had a couple commemorative Winchester rifles that I did not shoot for obvious reasons. Traded them for a Savage .22-250 that I shoot. Still have a Winchester .30-.30 with a factory installed medallion with my father's name in the stock. After some consideration, I chose to fire it. No one outside my family will give $ 0.02 about the medallion.

I sold about ten firearms that I had shot, but not regularly. One was a Belgium made Sweet Sixteen Browning. Sweet shotgun. I quit carrying it in the field. Turned them into a couple firearms I shoot. My philosophy changed as I aged. Shoot them or move them along.

Guilty as charged. I have a bunch of commodity plastic pistols that I haven't shot. Mostly because I just grab my favorites whenever I go to the range. I should probably sell a bunch. My son would gladly take them all, but I have even have dupes of many that sit and gather dust.

I also have a couple of garands that I have never shot. Obviously, they've been fired many times in their lives, but not by me.

But I'd say all my rifles get used.
