New guns

[okietool]

Is anyone else reluctant to shoot them?
Not worried about them malfunctioning or anything, just don't want to change their pristine condition.

Just built an AR, took it out the other day and put about 50 to 60 rounds through it. Thats what it's all about man! I love shooting new guns, just gotta keep them clean when you are done.

Cooljeff has had about 200 guns in the last year.don't think he has shot any of them. Buys them, carrys them and sells them

It depends on the gun. If its real purdy then sometimes im reluctant to shoot it but always end up doing so

 

[farmerbyron]

No. Shoot and be happy.

The only ones I ever had a difficult time pulling the trigger on are the Colt SAA

Not me, buy them to use them, mostly relative clean used firearms. Also do not buy new cars. The first scratch would most likely bother me. If it already has one or two, I can go ahead and use it. I knew a motocross racer that would buy a new bike and work it over with a ballpeen hammer before going to the first race with it. He claimed he rode closer to his edge, not worrying about scuffing up his bike and getting hurt protecting it.

nope I'll shoot it....I don't plan on selling and I wanna enjoy them fully.

Not reluctant ot shoot one, but I have some pretty nice vintage rifles I am reluctant to hunt with for fear of scratches, etc.

I guess that's why my old 1962 beat up Remington 700 BDL carbine in 6mm is my go-to rifle for most things requiring a scoped centerfire - especially in rough terrain or bad weather. It shows its age and mileage - kinda like me!
