about 10, most of them are either broken that i haven't got around to fixing yet or very old collectors items.

ive got two...the first is a seventy year anniversary Ducks Unlimited Browining shotgun I bought a few years ago at a DU banquet....its pretty nice but I can't see myself shooting it. the other is a WWII 7.62 X 25 mm Tokarev pistol that my granddad brought back from Europe in 1944.  It is a true take home relic with the government paperwork ok'ing it back into the states. It doesn't have the aftermarket stamp or crappy "safety" put on it.  It is stamped BN 1939 and has the original soviet grips marked CCCP.  I am looking at buying some  ammo for it and shooting it and I still have some of the original  ammo that was brought back with it and it hasn't been fired since 1985.

Several and they will never be fired or have the action worked or triggers pulled!  A couple are commemoratives with my Dad's name and badge number engraved on them.  The others were special runs of less than 100.  A few more if you count the civil war and old west pistols and rifles that I doubt would work even if I tried.

I don't keep anything that hasn't been shot in the last 3 months. I keep a log of what I have and when I use it. I just check the log book every month and anything that isn't getting used, gets sold or traded. The last gun to go was a Berreta 92F in perfect condition that I bought for $350 bucks. I bought it because the price was right, but just never shot it. I sold it a few weeks ago for $400 and I don't miss it at all.

Hmmmm let me think Weatherby MK V 300 lazermark, 1967 Browning Auto 5 12ga 3'' mag Belgium made, Remington model 11 12ga looks like auto 5 in 2 3/4'', pre 64 30-30win I believe late 30's era, Weatherby Athena 20ga o/u 60's era, 257 weatherby MK V custom, all were my grandfathers and inherited He was good friends with Roy Weatherby and hunted with him in Wyoming and Montana for about 15yrs, so the weatherbys are low serial # and a little special in each way.
