Over the past four years, I've had to slowly sell off most of my collection in order to get out of debt, how I got into the situation is mostly irrelavent to the forums, but let's just say it was a combination of unemployment/underemployment and the evils that are credit cards....
Before I got into financial dire straights, I had a nice collection of firearms, but now, I'm down to a very limited number...
The guns that survived the sell-off?
Rifles;
CZ-452 Ultralux .22LR
Marlin Model 25 (original 7 shot) my first rifle, a 16th b'day gift from my father, family heirloom
Shotguns;
Parker VH SxS with extractors and Vulcan steel barrel (2.5" chamber) and splinter fore-end, third generation family heirloom
H&R Topper Deluxe Classic 20 gauge single shot
Handguns;
Ruger NM Super Single Six w/ 6.5" barrel and both cylinders (Dad's old revolver, family heirloom)
CZ-75B 9mm
I also have my Ruger 10/22 at my LGS on 60 day hold, so I can buy it back (had to sell to keep the checking account solvent) so there is a 10/22 in the rifle category, it's just not paid off yet....
Now that I'm free of credit card debt, I can *SLOWLY* rebuild the collection once the checking account rebuilds above my safe level, I've destroyed the cards and won't get any more, and will make use of the 60 day paid hold program at the LGS for any additional additions to the collection, take it slow, no rush
The next categories to return to the collection? 12 gauge pump shotgun, and a Center fire rifle, most likely some variety of AR
I'm in no great rush now, so I'll be taking it slow and being responsible...
