Sounds like you're getting ready to thin out the heard, or maybe you already have. I can't fathom getting rid of my firearms.  Some were hard to find. A few would be impossible to replace. And, yet, there are still other "grail guns" that I still want to add. 

However, I know what you mean.  I've decided that any further guns I buy will have to be high quality and I would have to give up a lower quality gun for the replacement.  I keep a firearms log so that if I kick the bucket, my wife will at least have some idea of what they are and what they are worth. I told her that if she doesn't want them, auction them off at Rock Island Auction - at least she will know that she will get a fair price on the more important ones. 

Sounds like you did pretty good on your SKS.  I had one once.  A friend needed money and offered me a Chinese SKS.  I mainly just wanted to give him the money, but he knew I was into guns and gave me 2 rifles.  After a couple of years, I sold the SKS and got my money back.  I kept the Winchester 1892 ('70's production - not a desirable one because of weird metallurgy) as a Cabin gun. Some years later I let my friend use my cabin and told him to take the Winchester.
