Hi-Power Jack Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I can't keep track of all my guns, much less the damn boxes. I think I have the box for the last pistol I bought about a year ago- and I distinctly remember seeing the box for my 1st pistol a few years ago (Ruger Single Six .22 revolver - bought in 1963) ... But, not sure where that is now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebles24 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have always been told keep the box it will be worth more if you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns with the original box and paperwork appeal more to buyers than guns without those items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Agreed. The boxes live in the attic for the day I might sell the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteGuard Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I keep them. I am starting to think of throwing them away though since all they do is take up room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto, in the attic above the garage, not sure I want to go digging for a particular box anytime soon but they are there. God save me if we move!

I tend to keep mine, but always question if it's worthwhile, especially for the run-of-the-mill guns that won't have collectible value. The boxes are generally useless for guns that get used; factory boxes take up too much room in the safe, and some (I'm looking at you, S&W) take too much fiddling to get the gun in and out on a regular basis.

blfuller Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I always keep my boxes. Should you happen to fall out of love with it or trade it off for something better it always increases the value, especially if it is something collectable.

casarez Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I kept most of mine. Some (Like the Glocks or the cardboard M&P ones) I got rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
