I sold my M1 Garand to fund my Brocock XR. No regrets. I enjoy the Brocock wayyyy more than the Garand.

Selling off Powder Burners
- Thread starter DanH
- Start date
Sold 10 PB's over the past 6 months. Bought similar number of air guns. I only keep the PB's that I truly enjoy. Most were gathering dust.

I wouldn't unless it was something that was really superfluous and certain that I would no longer have any use for it again. Diving headlong into something at the cost of what you already had can be detrimental in the long run. Think things over before a leap.

Most likely not.
Between the wife and myself we have 5 air guns. The only thing I want to add is a big bore (457) for big game hunting.
I don’t need to liquidate to afford it.
My PB collection while not vast is substantial. Yes I have lost interest in all but the bird guns but all of my kids are shooters so they can have them and enjoy them when I am no longer shooting.

Haven’t touched a PB in years and many old timers I know all sold off all their rimfires and majority of their center fires. It is so much more relaxing just shooting airguns without ear plugs.

I thought about selling some smokers, have way too many and extra barrels here and there but the people that's going to inherit them....already have their names on them.

I never sell, just accumulate. I then stumble on threads like "When do you know it's time to call it quits?" and I end up feeling like crap lol. The only time I shoot my PBs' is for work. PCPs' are my only interest now for the last 10 years.

This whole thread has been a massive waste.
Should have 13 pages of "I didn't sell them but did recently lose them in a tragic boating accident."

Well, I lost most of mine when I was burglarized along with pretty much everything else of any quick resale value (They essentially cleaned me out!). That was over 2 years ago and I am still recovering from it. Financially and emotionally. At least I know the POS that is responsible for it is in jail, although for armed robbery, not my burglary. Long story... (heavy sigh)
Would I sell the PBs I have left to finance airguns? No way! They are ALL SD weapons that I carry in rotation. Every day, 24/7. BTW, I am good shot with my SD guns. (grin)
Back to airguns... (smile)

That sucks man, getting burglered is a very unsettling experience.
The boating accident is a trope/meme in the world thats pretty convinced a registry is coming, I meant it at a tongue in cheek joke.

I tried to sell my powder burner but ended up buying another CZ, but this was a semi auto . 22 Mag. Just love guns, all guns, as long as they are used responsibly.

If I had to travel for a long way to go to a shooting range I'd a sold most of my firearms too but fortunately I live next to the forest service and it's only 20 minutes out to shoot long range, or to go to our local pistol matches, or to shoot shotgun related sports. These are 3 different locations BTW.
Pretty much a shooters paradise whereI live!
Except for the family heirlooms, if I don't use it I sell it. I'm often selling items to upgrade my arsenal of scopes, airguns, or PB's, or what have you, until I'm happy with what I have. It has taken my entire adult life of doing so to get these things but it was worth it.

I have a few I would get rid of, but it's so hard to sell them. If you sell them to a gun store you get taken advantage of. I don't advertise because I don't care for strangers coming to the house. I wish there was an easy way though

Meet them in the parking lot of the police station for the transaction. If they're law abiding then they shouldn't have any problem with doing it there. It's just an assurance that your dealing with a legit buyer.

Don't be in a hurry to sell off any guns. Remember they are already paid for and don't burn any fuel just sitting there.
