    Typical Airgun Delima???

    In the past month I bought a couple of CO2 pistols and a springer air rifle. But now I have a new, actually two
    Where do I store all of these airguns and how do I chose which one to shoot with first when I want to do some shooting?
    What do you guys do? Maybe a game of "spin the revolver" maybe???

    Really? That's actually possible?
    Maybe I can turn the spare bedroom into a supersized "gun cabinet"

    Double-bunk them in the closet. You might get 3 levels if you have high ceilings. Pistols can be stored in a chest of drawers, or on closet shelf racking. It's amazing how big and quickly a collection can grow...
    I try to rotate all of them, but you get your favourites. If I'm going up north, I use my gas guns, but at home it's mostly springers due to noise.

    I got this a few years ago900299c.jpg
    The bottom part is in the garage with tools and the top part is in the bedroom on top of my 4 drawer chest and is full of CO2 action pistols (20) with the top opening part full of pellets, and accessories (targets, mags etc...).
    All "target" pistols (HW45, Alecto, P17 and FAS604) are in small hard cases.
    Most rifles are in my gun safe smugshot3340985-M.jpg which again is in my bedroom with another rifle cabinet in the basement where I put the ones I never use (the rifle purgatory) with a few in soft and hard cases stashed around the house so it's not too ugly.

    For which one to pick, different situations call for different airguns, that's why we get so many of them, no one but you can choose, I do a rotation for BB rifles between the 2 RedRyders and the Marlin CowBoy but everything else is open.

    Sounds like such a familiar ailment. I started off by keeping them on an unused kitchen table so I could look at them as they multiplied. Soon I ran out of table room and bought a nice leather ottoman to store them in. That was futile in short order. Only thing to do was take a unused bedroom and turn it into the gun cave. Pine boards and stain and one wall is full with eleven on display. Next wall comming up. There must be medication for this affliction. I know...I should get a new gun!
