What's the difference between a gun collector and somebody who just owns a lot of guns? Probably not much! Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem and gunsmith Bobby Tyler of Tyler Gun Works in Friona, Texas, delve into the psyche of the Gun Collector. Winchester lever action rifles, Colt Single Action Army revolvers, classic Smith & Wessons, Webley revolvers, Mauser rifles, and of course Lugers - ALL of these are typical collectible firearms. But these days, just about anything that shoots a bullet is being collected by somebody somewhere. Classic firearms are investments, too, tangible items that hold their value, which doesn't disappear in a bad day on the stock market or because Bitcoin got hacked on the Dark Web. If you find yourself in need of funds, a popular collectible gun can be sold for ready cash. And then there's the Thrill of the Hunt that Bobby felt when he scored a Smith & Wesson Triple Lock Target revolver. For Steve, it's that special, unexpected find at the big Tulsa Gun Show.
