Ever liquidate a caliber you loved?

I'm afraid of what happens when we stop?
I've never owned a 7.62x39, but I got a few hundred rounds for one. Only caliber I ever "liquidated" is 45-90 and I didn't keep anything. I was sorry to see it go, but the guy wanting the rifle (86 Winchester made in 1889 with at least 80% finish 28" barrel) was more than avid when it came to the Benjamin's!. I bought a NEMO with the funds and I'm pretty darn happy with that.
The day we stop is the day his brisket finally finishes being cooked probably.
We can't have that. We'd have to eat a big fucking pile of crow.
I Had a Goddamned 86' in 45-90 with 28" barrel, it was in very good mechanical shape, patina was there since bluing was near gone, had to repair several cracks in the stock.
Man I bought it from only had a about 15 pieces of brass with it,
I used those to load, western scrounger had brass, iirc it was like $2 each, so I used 45-70 brass with bullets seated long,
It'd cycle & feed long seated 45-70 most of the time if I took slow steady with lever, if hurried it'd jam
But a dude fascinated for cowboy action shooting forked out a stack of funds for it.
Never bought another cause they cost a bit,
My replacement was the cowboy model 45-70 I got for cheap off the rack when sportsman's warehouse went out of business in north okc.

It started of about selling off a single caliber with all the widgetry/firearm that comes with it. Now it has transmogrified to a @caliberbob 's brisket and ribs thread.
Doesn't every thread morph into a @caliberbob's brisket thread? lol
That's kinda on him, he's the one that posted that ridiculous picture of something that he called a brisket. Looked like peeled tire tread to me, but that's just me.
I can't recall selling/trading more than 1 or 2 in my life time, and I don't own anything in 7.62x39, but if I did, with the way shit is unfolding right now, I wouldn't be getting rid of it.
What I need to do is settle on one caliber I can shoot in a long platform and a handgun, so I don't have to carry 2 different cartridges in my saddle bags as I ride in darkness across the barren landscape that used to be the United States. Can't make up my mind. I suk.
