just curious here ---- if you go into a gun store - what are your preferences? any/all guns? new guns? used guns? old guns? etc... and even more curiosity -- what is your age? ~ ~ BS MOM

Near 67
Old ! The older the better.
Flintlocks ! I see that rock holder and the heart gets-ta beating something fierce.
U.S. Military Dad got me started 50 years ago. No regrets except we should have bought more WW2.
Revolvers ! Can smell a Dan Wesson coming in the door.

Well Ma'am . . . kinda of all the ones you listed!!
Though will tend to seek older firearms of various flavors, sometimes of which won't know until I see it!
Examples: Mannlicher Schoenauer; European Sporting Rifles; Ruger No. 3 single shots (getting hard to find anymore); single shots and quality .22 LR's.
Anymore don't travel about looking in stores or pawn shops. Why? Pretty much content with what currently have and load for, but always open to others.
Enjoy perusing the aisles of gun shows, seeing what others have dragged out of an old closet and brought to the show. Like kid in candy store!
Age: 70 years young and still in pretty good health for trekking in the outdoors and high country - thankfully.

BS MOM, is this a new Dating Site? Whoa!--Guns and Goils!
I'm a mid-1950's Leo and, as you can see in my statement above, I have a bit of the Three Stooges in me. My fantasy firearm is what I am ever disappointed in not finding. Never have I spied one in a gun store. I look for 90 to 124-year-old 1894 Winchester rifles. Octagon barrelled takedowns with close-coupled triggers and crescent butt-plates are my dream guns. Like my wife, these rifles are quite rare to find. But I didn't find her in a gun store either!
Even if you do like my taste in firearms, I can't compete. Let's face it, Daniel is the best a man can be!

I'm in my 60s and always a sucker for older used guns.
