Air gun addiction

I am not addicted-I can quit any time I want to. I just don't want to! I got that from somebody on the Yellow forum, lol! I only have two of each: pumpers, springers and ok, 3 PCPs. No Co2 RIFLES yet, and you're implying I'm addicted? (probably correct!) I think you may be confusing "addicted" with "enthusiast", "collector" or "specialist", Haha!

At least my house doesn't look like this-yet!

PS-I didn't hear any mention of how many you have?

Looks like you could give AOA a run for it's money for their display . Now that's a GUN ROOM!
Nice!

I think I'm happy to say the gunroom belongs to somebody else-I thought folks here should see it-makes me look (relatively) normal!
These ARE mine-minus the third from the top in first photo

I only have:
1 x .25 Marauder
1 x .22 P-Rod
1 x .357 Bulldog
1 x Umarex PX4-Storm
2 x Umarex NXG APX (I bought one for a friend and his wife said he couldn't keep it)

Here's my little collection and growing.

I still have not seen a personal collection to rival Tom Kerrigan on GTA. He has over 80 PCPs and some very high end models to boot. He built a large safe room to store his guns.

The gent whose gunroom photo I posted has now filled that room to the ceiling! He posts on the network54 "vintage forum" from time to time. He's into springers and often has one of each variant of any particular make/model, usually in mint condition. I'd love to go to a garage sale at his place!

I suffer from what my wife referes to as "bb gun fever". I enjoy other past-times and hobbies, but this one has me captivated lately. A new gun arrives every few weeks these days from my compulsive on-line purchases, with PayPal my all-too-willing enabler. I'm on first name basis with the couriers that deliver my babies. Denial, deception, budget skimming - it's all there. "Honey I just need this one pistol, then I'm done, honest..." I'm Neil, and I'm an air gun addict.

RWS Model 48 .22 rifle
Norica Storm .177 rifle
Browning 800 Magnum .22 pistol
Crosman 1377 modified carbine
Crosman 1322 modified pistol
Daisy Avante 717 .177 pistol
plus many others...

I have one gun for every need, just need to think of new needs every now and then....

I wouldn't say I was addicted but I have lost count of how many guns I have I tend to find guns in draws that I forgot I even owned :S

When the new Benjamin $199 version of the Discovery was introduced, I found myself thinking, "I want one of those" I already have a .177 PCP, and a .22 and a .25 and a .22 CO2, etc. Whether the "enthusiast" goes over the line into "addiction" hinges on whether that thought has enough power to make me get that gun. We shall see....

Gotta get out there and play with them, though. Collecting is one thing, but they all need to be exercized once in a while, especialy the old red ryder type rifles. I was shooting in December here in WNY with the mild spell we had. Now it's well into spring and the weather sucks. My lower velocity arms are fun to play with at five meters in the basement with a make shift bb/pellet trap. My Daisy 717 shooting wad cutters at proper 5M target copies is perfect for that. Kinda fun.

You guys shoot indoors when you get the itch and the weather is uncooperative?

shrugs, addicted: TX 200 .177, TX 200 .22, HW 30, BEEMAN P1 and IZH46M, Looks at PCP's daily, still has less invested than the cost of my first KOLAR

JohnL - what is that gun you posted that has TGAG above the trigger, it's pretty. (Oh great...now I'm addicted and jones-ing....)

I have 3 Marauders, two Daystates, a Disco, a nickel 397 and a 1701P pistol, but I'm not addicted. I'm willing to sell the disco.

It' s a CZ s200 hunter in the "Scout" stock from Topgun airguns, very light (2# less than my Marauder) and accurate, shoots around 20 ft lbs.

I only have three ----------------- in the living room. NO problem.

Poont, I shoot indoors (in my basement at 20 yards) all winter. Just getting out some now, but it's cold and windy.
