You can't have too much of a good thing:

[scythefwd]

I have no repeats, but I stand to inherit several. I wouldn't pass up a good deal on a couple either.

 

[goldie]

(Sometimes a deal is too good to pass up) thats my main reason for getting it.glad to see others have done the same....

 

[jackstinson]

Of course.
Some I have more than 2 of.

 

[Rembrandt]

Great Grandpa would tell us "If one nail is good....two is better". Same hold true for guns.

 

[Will-Seattle]

I have to admit that I did that with M1 Garands. Let me see, you have to have at least one from Winchester, International harvester, Springfield Armory, and Harrington & Richardson. Then you have to have a pre-war Springfield. Then you have to get a broad range of representative serial numbers. Then you have to get a sniper.

I am thankful that the M1 bug was finally cured.

Sound familiar to anyone.

I certainly have more than one of some handguns; rifles not so much. I believe I have one duplicate with rifles and it's a 22. But I would probably not pass up a very good deal if I really like a particular rifle and I have the loose money. Is there ever too many?

 

[M2 Carbine]

2 or more of the same rifle

Yes.
Two M1 Garands.
Nine or ten M1/2 Carbines (I have to take a count)
Two Bushmaster M4 types and two other AR brands.
Two 03A3 and A4. Same rifle but one has a scope mount.

Many duplicate handguns but the most of one kind is 16 Makarovs.

 

[oldfool]

rifles, no but pairs yes

two S&W K-17s
two S&W model 66s
would have had two Colt Gov'mt 380s if my buddy had not beat me to it
been tempted many a time to own two SP101s
he has two same 9mm and two same Browning A-bolts

man has to sometimes work long & hard to find what is "just right"
as the gals might say it, you gotta' kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince
and pairs wear out slower than singles, doncha' know

once you do find it, why fight it ??

 

[Caliper_Mi]

Define the same rifle?

I have four Mosin Nagants.

1932 Finnish M27

1937 Tula 91/30 with a PU scope (not original, I know, but I paid a lot less too)

1942 Tula 91/30

1952 Polish M44

My g/f does say "Don't you already have one of those?" when I look at another, but she was there when I bought my most recent and did not object. I just tell her that each of the different Mosin models have differences and I have to collect the whole set!

 

[Tinpig]

Yup-
Two M1903s
Two M1 Garands
Two M1 Carbines

Two sons....

I thought it would be bad form NOT to have at least 2 of everything! Besides, it's PC to own more than one! I have heard is said that "2 is 1 and 1 is none", so I figured I had better conform. 5 Glock 9mm's, 14 .303 Enfields, etc.

 

[Hondo 60]

I have 2 S&W Model 10s. and I'd like to have a couple more too!

 

[Onward Allusion]

For defensive firearms, I have at least two of a particular make/model - rifle, pistol, or revolver. I practice with one and rotate them out every now and then to minimize wear.

For plinkers/shooters I may or may not have duplicates.

2 or more of the same rifle
Does anyone have more than one of the same exact gun, & if so, why?i have a chance to buy another of the same rifle,same caliber,& its a real great price,otherwise it doesnt seem to make sense,other than its one i really like a lot.

 

[TIMC]

While I do have quite a few of the same general kind of guns like AR's and 1911's they are all a little different had configured to specific jobs.
I do have a set of twins, these Vaquero's in .357 mag.

 

[Mr.Davis]

I could see justifying two identical pistols if you wanted one to carry and one to leave in the car.

At this point, my "collection" stands at three. I can't imagine doubling up for anything but a completely practical need.

 

[xx7grant7x]

and I may never get the spare swag I need to afford an M-1A.

sell whatever you need to buy one. It is my favorite rifle

 

[Rosstradamus]

Do you have more than one pair of jeans? TV? Car? Credit card?

 

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

One reason is collecting, as mentioned.

The other reason is as a true backup to use, with identical ergos, ammo, etc., either for hunting, or self-defense.

When I "finish" my DPMS LR260-L, I intend to start building a 2nd one just like it.

 

[Ohio Gun Guy]

Because I said so!

 

[Roccobro]

Now if you said TEN of the same rifle.....

Answer would still be yes.

Justin

 

[FMJMIKE]

Yes...............





and one more coming........................

 

[lions]

There is a member here that said he buys 2 of the same firearm every time he buys anything. I believe he went by the name "cheese" or something like it. Haven't seen him around for a while though, he would be a good one to chime in here.

Paging cheese...

 

[fragout]

Some started out as spare parts that turned into "spare" rifles, while others were picked out like that for a purpose. (one is none, 2 is one, etc.....)

The average difference is optics.




...and different bbl lengths of same design.....





plus....M1A's, and 10-22's are fun to shoot

[22-rimfire]

I don't count collector stuff in this same gun thing.
