Maybe I'm just getting old, but some of these "collections" I see seem more like hoarding than collecting. I've reached the point where most of my hunting and self defense needs are satisfied, so I've gotten more and more into stuff like black powder and muzzleloaders. To me, a collection involves acquiring firearms (replicas or reproductions because I ain't rich) to round out all of the historical examples, not a bunch of nearly identical AR's that vary slightly in caliber and barrel length. Although that one time the biggest buck I've ever seen in my region sauntered out across the pipeline a couple hundred yards away while I was hunting with my flintlock did have me wishing I had chosen to hunt that day with a more modern rifle instead.
