My main collection started 3 years ago with Ruger Single action revolvers, then progressed into some lever guns in Old West era calibers plus a Colt SAA and Springfield 1873 Trapdoor carbine. Along the way I picked up some SHTF rifles AR15's, GSG-5 etc. and pistols. Now I'm into the WWII era long guns, M1 Garand, Arisaka, Mausers, Mosin's etc. while prices are still affordable. Glad I bought a 48 Gun safe Any of them are considered shooters, and many will be passed on to the Grandsons.
