In all seriousness, I understand his point.
I started off making $25K and scrounging to afford my first gun.
As time went by, my tastes evolved and my income grew. I acquired finer guns... still "production" models, but high quality ones.
I'm now at a similar point in my collecting. I don't scoff at entry level guns, but I want some distinction and quality to my weapons. I just got done with a custom M14 project that turned out amazingly. I'd like to have a Freedom Arms revolver. A classy, customized bobtail commander 1911 would be nice to have too.
Quality is long remembered after the price is forgotten.
As such, I am also liquidating my safe's earlier contents to make room and $$$ for those more discriminating purchases.
It's just a phase of evolution.
