over 300 times? lol. Started seriously collecting about 12 years ago. I had always has a couple dozen or so hunting rifles and handguns, but now I was seriously bitten by the military surplus weapon bug, countries were dumping their obsolete military weapons in the U.S. by the millions. There were just so many different ones to collect! I started stashing them all over the house- tucked away in closets, my reloading room, the basement, family room. Then one day I took a week and built the Bunker, hung all the rifles on the walls. I'll never forget the day my wife finally came down and walked in, she almost hit the floor. She was absolutely stunned. {The collection was only a third of what it is now} About 6 years ago I started selling some of my rifles, I had literally run out of room, sold mostly ones that I had accumulated doubles or triples of {buying a 2nd and then a 3rd as a result of finding better examples} I more than doubled or tripled my money on those old military surplus rifles. My wife never said another word after I helped her pay off her credit card in just a months worth of selling a dozen or so of those old war relics. Also helped pay for the kids college. I recently sold a 1923 Mosin Nagant that I bought for $90 in 2005, high bidder on Gunbroker was $2250. I didn't know it when I bought it, it turned out to be a very rare Russian Kossack rifle {mounted cavalry}. It's been an absolute blast over the years collecting and shooting them, and i'm not done yet!
