There are several guns that I am not particularly interested in owning long term, but I definitely want to have long enough to chew on.
A Mauser C.96 and a Luger top the list.
They are interesting in how they are built and the Luger is interesting in how it works.
After I shot them a few times and took them apart obsessively for a week or two I'd be done with them forever.
That's true of a lot of the guns I used to own, actually.
Once I've fingered it and figured out how it works I don't want it any more.
It's heresy, but I could easily be rid of the 1903A3 and Garand. I know them now and grok their essences.
Of course, I am lazy and not actively selling them. Listing them on Gunbroker creates an obligation. I don't feel like being obliging.
