my oldest son and my daughter are enthusiasts...

I've been thinning the herd for a couple of years. None of my four kids hunts and only one shoots. My wife's been after me to get rid of a bunch and I have managed to sell about 20% of the accumulation. BUT there are a lot to go.

One problem is that my interests didn't follow the market. SxS shotguns, particularly those with external hammers, are hard sells these days, as are pump shotguns and bolt action rifles with blued steel and walnut stocks. Martini actioned single shots don't exactly draw a crowd, either. And then there are blued steel and walnut single action revolvers (most of which I'm planning on hanging on to).

So, I'll enjoy as many as I can, continue to thin the herd slowly and leave my kids to clean up whatever's left.
