yes, it's cheaper and more socially acceptable to be a drunk or drug addict than a gun owner.
also, have you bought cleaning supplies, and a place to store it? with just one gun, something small will do. At some point your collection will reach a size where you kind of HAVE to buy a safe. I dropped $550 on a "10 rifle" safe. I already wish I had spent $1k plus on a larger safe.

>>33949861

Yup.

After I bought it I went straight to the range in the store after the waiting period and put two hundred rounds through it and realized how I needed everything else.

I bought a range bag, supplies, snapcaps, basically everything. I am not too worried about storage because I am don't find myself drawn to other guns currently. I pined over this one and one for CCW but I won't buy the CCW until I get my card and the storage boxes the things came in with some silica gel packets for when they aren't in the bag is what I've read as being more than enough for storage. Theft isn't a concern of mine.

I HAVE 42 GUNS IN 19 CALIBERS AND I CAN'T STOP. SOMEONE SEND HELP!!!

>>33949820
Try to keep it down to only a few calibers or you are doomed.

currently rocking in .22lr, .380, 9mm, .40, 2.23/5.56, 30-06 & 12 gauge firearms.

>>33949820
>>already spent more money on ancillaries than I did on the gun
This is something "poorfags" need to understand. If you plan to shoot ~150 rounds a month of 9mm, $37. For a year, that's $444.

If you shoot regularly, you will spend more on ammo than you paid for your gun very quickly.

>>33949820

The real bitch to so many calibers is keeping all your reloading stuff organized.

You have caught a disease. There is no cure and it might be fatal.

Pic is the collection of reloading dies I have assembled due to my illness. All version manifest differently of course.

A plank with holes mounted in your wall works good, just keep them oiled

46KB, 640x304px

Yep.
I bought an AR, then 20 USGI mags, then a red dot, and put 3k rounds of wolf gold through, then a KAC RAS, and a B5 stock, and then an SLR104 and then thousands of rounds of 5.45 and then a model 17 S&W and then a VP9 and then a PPS and now I want an Izmash TIGR which I would seriosly consider buying for $4500 with a PSO-1.

I'm never escaping

I don't know. Last week I rebuilt my reloading bench because the last one was insufficient for my "needs."

12 ft, two presses and a lubrisizer. I still have to figure out where the shotshell press will go

Your setup confuses me.

They really do run the gamut of being really expensive as they are antiques from a very breif period of time or really cheap from people just wanting them gone.

A rare thread full of honesty and candor.
