Leaving collecting...

[Kyrie]

Hi Folks!

Bless you. Each and every one, for the very kind words - you have warmed my heart :-)

Entirely FWIWâ?¦

While Iâ??ve given up collecting, I wonâ??t be giving up firearms entirely - or shooting them. Iâ??ll be keeping those pieces of sentimental value to me (like the Persian Luger, which was a gift from a dear friend), a few â??shooter gradeâ?? pieces to use to introduce new shooters to the sport (like a 1916 Erfurt and the .22 conversion kit), and a few odds and sods things that may still prove useful (such as a pump 12 gauge or two - and a couple of side-by-side 16 gauges). So when the urge to shoot hits me, though it has done so with decreasing frequency in the last decade or so, Iâ??ll have the wherewithal to satisfy the urge.

But for the most part the collection will be sold - and Iâ??ll very happily list the pieces here so the folks here have an early crack at them. It will help me knowing they are all going to good homes :-)

Warm regards,

Kyrie
