Thats nothing. Wait till you start seeking out certain dated rifles from certain manufacturers. Buying missmatched rifles and searching the net and gun shows for parts to make it correct and complete. Taking a milsurp apart and deciphering every single stamp found on the receiver, barrel, mag, etc. and then going nuts because you have one particular stamping that no one has any idea what it indicates.
Then comes accessories... slings, stripper clips, ammo pouches, muzzle protectors, cleaning rod guides, and anything else you can find to complete the one rifle. Then if you're like most of us, you can't settle on collecting just one type. For example, you realize you need a Mosin Nagant M44 from Romania, one from each Russian arsenal, one from Poland, and so on. The real experienced collectors that pick say Finn captured M39 rifles often have one from every date manufactured from a certain arsenal. Kind of a goal to get a VKT in every year made for some.
Its all a sickness and only when you find yourself sitting on the bed with 60 year old guns out cycling the bolts, inspecting for corrosion, even smelling them (yes smelling them, some oil soaked wood smells pretty good and gets to ya after a while
). Thats when you realize you're hooked.
I first realized it when I got on a first name basis with the UPS driver and he admitted to stopping by when I was home for lunch because he knew long boxes meant a signature needed, and knew what they were.
