I'm sure, somewhere it is written that a gun owner, goes through different phases along this "Great Adventure". ....
In my youth, I started out as a hunter and guns that fit those requirements. Now, most of what I shoot are M/L's and collect them as well. A fun time at the range, is shooting one of my SideLocks. .....
You Have;
Hunters; They usually don't collect.
Shooters; They usually don't hunt.
Collectors; They usually don't hunt or shoot.
Sellers; They usually don't collect, hunt or shoot, only make a profit!!
I guess, to varying degrees, I'm a little of all the above. ...
Be Safe !!!
