I'm not talkin just safe queens, but guns you haven't gotten around to shooting yet. How long have you owned it and still haven't fired it ?

I've never had a gun that hasn't been shot within a week at most. Usually a day at the most.

I have a G30 that Glock sent me as a replacement to the one I blew up. Still new in the box and never loaded or fired. When I recieved it (2 maybe 3 years ago) I opened the box looked at it and put it away. I don't consider it a safe queen, after all it's just a Glock! Oh well, I know how and how good they shoot from the first one I owned. lol

Don't have any in that condition Slick. I have an heirloom type gun that I won't fire but I think that's more of a safe queen so it doesn't count.
I do however, have lots of guns that I have not fired in YEARS.

I have a .32 rimfire revolver (pre serial numbers) that was found inside a hidden, boarded up window of a house after a big fire. It won't fire, although it wasn't burned.
A Browning A-500 12 gauge I received for Christmas around twenty years ago. It still has a sticker on the end of the barrel.
A preban milled Polytech Legend. Still in the box and fantastic. Plum wood and detached bayonet. According to Peter Kokalis it is one of only 900 of this version that made it into the country.
A WWII Nazi K98. Very good condition. Surprisingly it actually has a matching bolt, but it has a mismatched stock. No import mark, cherry barrel, and 71 years old. Picked it up a few days before that hog hunt and have almost forgot about it.

Hmmmm........none come to mind that are unfired. If a gun goes unfired for more than 2-3 years hereabouts, it often finds itself on the block and gone, or given to one of the kids if they are interested in it. At least one of them usually has a use for it.
My shooting has slowed markedly over the past year from the combined influence of scarce reloading components and compromised eyesight. That latter issue is in its final step, and the new glasses I'm getting on Friday should prompt a spate of excessive gunfire for the next few months. I have 3 years of jacked-up eyesight to make up for!

I have a .30-30 that my stepdad left me when he died, and it has never been fired. He had three .30-30s, none have ever had a round down em. Someday I will get it out because he was a huge deer hunter and I'd love to take a muley or pronghorn with it.

Garand, bought it a few years ago and just have never really gotten around to using it. When I do find time to shoot I usually end up getting some trigger time on one of the hunting rigs.
Carbine, Bought it at about the same time, bought dies, bought components, never shot it.
I do not/did not have intentions to not shoot them but it is what it is.

I have a new-to-me Rem 700 in 35 Whelen that is waiting for some cast boolits, and me to form some brass from '06.
And a minty S&W model 18-3 that will see some action soon after it gets a kinder and gentler hammer spring.
All the rest have been de-flowered.

My Husqvarna 9.3 x 62mm Mauser, picked up 2 years ago, found a Weaver 2.5 K last summer, have 200 pieces of new brass, bullets, and Redding dies. Have ben too busy to load some test ammo and take to the range.
I also have a Standard Products M1 carbine, fired once, didn't function, took apart, cleaned the gas system, need to see if it functions.:jawdrop:

I have an 870 that I bought about a year ago that I haven't shot. I bought it used so it's been shot, but not by me.
Don't know why really. Except when I go to the range I'd rather shoot my rifle.

SW 627 PC - no lock.
I bought this many years ago and never had time to shoot it. It is a very early model no dash.

Rare for me but I have a few new purchases that have not been shot.
Ruger Single Six (bought it, have only gone to the range twice since and had limited time so it didn't even see sunshine)
Ruger Redhawk Hunter .44, just picked it up a couple weeks ago
Winchester '94 Trapper .44mag, same as above
Have a couple of inherited guns I have only fired a cylinder or two from and then put back up: Colt SAA 1st gen with Ivories and a K38 Combat Masterpiece that belonged to my wife's Grandpa that I don't think had ever been fired.

I have a couple. First is a SKS I bought a few months before Clinton signed the AWB into law. It's still packed in cosmoline and I've stockpiled 4K rounds of non corrosive ammo for the day I finally get up the nerve and time to clean it.
Second one is a 24" SS Varmint Bushmaster I bought a few years ago and haven't even mounted it to the lower yet. Have 6K rounds for it and my other Bushie but haven't had time to shoot because of other obligations.

I've got a 223 SPS Varmint I've had for three years I haven't shot yet. That will be remedied next week.
I've got a USED 243 700 that I got three years ago that needs to be worked up.
I've got a Colt Pony 380 that needs it's first time at the range that I got in December and a 22 Buckmark that is in the same condition.
I spent the last two years working up stuff for four 20 calibers and a 6 PPC AR along with a 25 WSSM AR.
The 25 WSSM sat in the safe for about 30 months before I finally got to work with it.

PS: OMG I forgot all about that 30-06 700 that needs to be restocked and shot!!

Same here. I remember a long time ago the same day I got my tang safety Ruger 308. I took it to the edge of town, and it was already dark, I had to fire a few rounds without even mounting a scope on it. Muzzle flash was cool and I was happy. Patrick
