Gun Collection - Reviewing and Inventory

[thor447]

Liking the COP .357!!

Everyone like those until they shoot it once! One round is all I've ever attempted. I blame that gun for my bad penmanship now.

Well here's a few more.

New Detonics Scoremaster Series II

SW 36 Engraved Texas Hold 'Em

SW Bodyguard 1st Edition Set

And the one I was dumb enough to sell - Beautiful condition H&K P7. This one breaks my heart ya'll. It is no longer part of the family, but here is 'was' in all it's glory.

That is some beautiful stuff.

I inherited a collection of 88 rifles and shotguns myself, I tried to hang on a few years but it was just to much to maintain and clean. I sold way down to just the ones I personally used or that had some meaning. I let some amazing stuff go. That was a twice a year chore that covered days. It still takes me a while on just what I kept,. Funny, I didn't get nary a pistol like you did but I can't complain.

I've found that if I keep them all indoors, clean and stored in gun stocks with desiccant packs, I haven't had much issue thus far. I've brought them all out and inspected them a few times over the years, but this will be the first major inspection for well over 18 months. I've never had an issue with anything thus far though. There are some other Colts and Smiths, and one Remington that are MUCH older than what I posted pictures of. A few of those really show their age, but I haven't done anything to remove any finish degradation. My main goal was to stop further issues, which treated gun socks, desiccant packs, and indoor storage appear to have done thus far.

I'm actually going to be calling a friend of mine who manages a local bank. I'd like to look into storing most, if not all, of the inherited collection in some sort of safety deposit box fashion. What options are there for offsite storage for gun collections? Anyone know of any? And no, your house doesn't count!

Thanks. I'll look into them. Worst case scenario is I can get them all my brother in Alabama. He's remote on plenty of land and storage space. I'd probably have to buy the safe(s) though. It might be worth looking into if I cannot find somewhere locally.

Wow....so impressed. You have told me about the 007 pistol...I am envious!
