Other Too many springers

[Kragman1]

So....

A simple little question:

Who here has too many springers?
And if your answer is "yes", when did it hit you?

Keep in mind - I'm not Big Brother and this is just a hot stove conversation, not an interrogation.
Its more like looking at The Five Stages of Springer Addiction. I'm thinking this would be #4...

#1. Introduction to Springers.
(The discovery phase)
#2. Acquisition of many Springers.
(Gunsmithing your own Springers)
#3. Acquisition of top quality Springers.
(Moovin' on up.....!)
#4. Realization of too many Springers.
(NEVER!! Never, I say...!!!)
#5. Acceptance/Dispersal of Springers.
(A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do)


Personally, I'm at Stage 2.5 and working hard to avoid 4 & 5...!

No comment
I plead the 5th

Just having fun shooting my TX200 in WFTF and chasing after PCP scores.

Sometimes, I catch up with them.

As others stated before it’s not the bows or arrows…it’s usually the Indians.

Some might say I have too many. Some might say never too many. I've had enough to be rid of a few and still have a few left to enjoy. I'm still always on the lookout for my next.

Firm stage 4 for me!

 

[Ezana4CE]

@Kragman1 You must not have seen that other thread. You probably don't even know what's coming.

 

[thumper]

I'm at stage 4.

But, I'm picky about what I keep and they get used. And it's took me a while to find a few of them. I'm definitely not a collector, and since all mine are working guns, I definitely border on having "too many"

 

[Kragman1]

Ezana4CE - no, I didn't see another post.
But the way uoure talkin' is spookin' me out....

Lol, nah it's a good thing. Wait til you see what I saw.

 

[ChuckHunter]

I've hit #5 a few times through the years!
It's a visous cycle! Lol
I'm in a place right now wear I'm on the lookout for that special one and not even sure what that one is.
I've probably already got it in the rack!

 

[DualMagMike]

Some of my springer collection, still looking for a few more (JK!)

 

[jps2486]

Not me. Let's see, what did I do with those other safes.

The way I figure it, stage three is where it's at. There are several models and calibers still available but no physical storage space left. Technically I could start hanging them from the ceiling. I do not need all that vertical space after all.

As the old saying goes; “He who dies with the most Springers, Wins”!

Said no relative of the deceased ever.

As of this writing I have 21 springers, having had many more. I guess I'm on the verge of having too many springers, but working on the guns is half of the fun for me, and I have no spring gun that I didn't want to tinker with some more, and shoot for many tins of pellets. Also, my short list of further purchases is honestly just one or two guns, having purchased almost all of my dream springers. It's been this way for a good while, so I don't think this too shall pass.

 

[Bandito]

Probably stage 4 and don't realize it yet. But at least #3. DualMagMike. My "group" of springers may one day rival that. I just need the building. Be Well, Bandito.

 

[Kragman1]

Yeah, I suppose if you run out of building....
"there's your sign".

I bought my first Weihrauch (an R7 in .177) about 15 or 16 years ago, and now own a total of 7 spring guns. This total has not changed for about 5 years. Collecting isn't my thing, and I don't like to own stuff that just sits around without being used. I shoot often enough to use all 7, but also feel like I'm at my ceiling and won't be adding any more unless one goes away.

My bigger concern is parts to keep these guns going over the long term. So if there is anything excessive in my spring gun habit, it would be my inventory of springs, seals and other parts.

I’m at 7 underlevers that I rotate regularly, all .177s. They are all tuned, stocked and scoped to my liking. Pretty happy with my stable and see no reason to add more. Now if someone comes out with THE absolute perfect scope for HFT-US, it’s game on. Uj
