I say NONE should be safe queens. They all should be fired regularly and enjoyed, when you can !!! God Bless :smile:
She would take up lots of room in the safe too.It's like having a supermodel for a wife and never having sex, what's the point?
Why?Having three AR 15 is a bit much
Personally, I don't think I'd be selling ANY AR before at least January, 2017, if I could possibly help it. JMO....I am in the process of selling my Bushmaster post ban XM-15 without a flash suppressor and a 20" barrel (currently on consignment at my LGS).
...Should I pick up the consignment, keep it and keep both new guns as safe queens? (thinking not, but seeing how I am asking questions)...
All safe queens don't depreciate and neither do the shooters. Pre-World War II Colt, Smith & Wesson, and Winchester products continuously reach new heights in price as do many post-war models from the same makers. U.S. military arms haven't depreciated either. There's a Smith Corona 1903-A3 around here acquired in 1975 that sure isn't worth less than the $85 given for the rifle.A safe queen still depreciates whether you shoot it or not. Shoot both, take exceptional care of both, you will still get top dollar late down the road if necessary. Besides, a sfae queen isnt any fun sitting in the safe.
