As long as such isn't causing financial or relationship problems.

no he just dies- His wife has a big garage sale and gives everything away to strangers for cheap prices... just to get rid of all the crap he collected over the years...

I picked up a 1910 SAA Colt 45, with handmade holster AND a 1913 German Luger that way... for $150 total

hehe, while my old gal is sometimes a little slow, she now knows the full value of that that i have accumulated and well, i'd bet being the tightwad she is, it won't go for cheap.

I probably have almost as many shotguns as I do rifles (and definitely more than I have pistols), but I'm not a shotgun fan per se. I like them because of their utilitarian aspect. They're excellent for a few purposes and can work in a pinch for others. Sure, I'd love to have a Greener or Westley Richards, but Winchester/Remington/Mossberg/H&R is fine by me too.

I also like to buy them on occasion just for "extras." Maybe a few friends and myself want to go dove hunting and there's a few others that would like to come along...if only they had a shotgun. I keep them for loaner duty when needed. Plus, when the time comes, I can pass along one to everyone that needs one. In rough times (and good), you can't go wrong with a shotgun; it'll put food on the table and keep the wolves (4 and 2-legged) at bay.

While we're on the subject, if anyone knows where I can find a buttstock and trigger guard for an old, el-cheapo W. Richards SXS (NOT a real Westley Richards) 12 ga, please let me know. I've searched for quite a while, but without shelling out big bucks for a custom job, they seem to be hard to find. I'm told that an old "Crescent pattern" stock would work (whatever that is).

Pics or it didn't happen!

You can never have enough shot guns

I've only just begun then.

I need a shotgun!
What’s a good budget shotgun that’s a good buy?
Is the Remington 1100 a good firearm?

I am apparently way behind, just the pump with and extra barrel. Would like a semi-auto one in the future.

Personally love shotguns and have more of them than any other type of firearm. Can’t have too many in my opinion. Next up for me is a 410 over/under or sxs for my daughter.

Koa, if you want to try her on a 410 sxs, i have one, and I also have a 20 ga. over and under. I tried a 410 over and under, and whilst it was an excellent shooter, i found the step up to 20 ga, was a better fill for me and my youngest daughter a while back,
good luck with it.
If you know someone on this site or the other than can vouch for you, that i know, be happy to loan them for a try out. i' m huge fan of young shooters, giving them opportunities to try something that will work for them.

I have four daughters who all learned shooting skills, and are now picking their own units.

anyway, let me know. live in north central phoenix.

When I used to shoot sporting clays, I had a collection. Weatherby orion 12, and a 20 gauge.
Red Label 12, 20 and 28 gauge
And a Beretta AL391 sporting
And a Benelli M2

Now I don’t shoot clays and I only have a couple.
So, I guess it depends.
20 shotguns seems like a good round number

Mossy M590 Milsgun X2.

Simple, robust, reliable.

Exactly the reason why I have helped widows sell their dead husband's guns a couple of times in the last few years. I get them at the bare minimum a fair price for what they're selling. In some cases I get more than the guns are worth as it's money for a worthy cause.

He who does with most, still dies and nothing more.

True...we'll all die...but he who dies with the most... probably had way-more fun than he who dies with a few...
