1. Take a big breath and take your time 2. Consider exactly what you want. Investment safe queens to pass along? Unless high grade or very high condition, in today's market the guns are not going to increase in value. Using guns? Waterfowl? Upland birds? Clay target games, and which discipline? 3. Pick a theme. Pre-1913 16g shooters is a nice place to start. 20g guns will require a lot more money. One of each post-1913 grades in 12g? Trap guns? Skeet guns? 4. Bribe a genuine Smith expert to help; it will save you a great deal of $s and headaches! 5. Enjoy the journey
