No.

Dad and Grandpa hunted and had guns. Were well informed about guns etc. Not big collectors or accumulators.

Later in years my Dad became fussy about rifle accuracy and took up handloading.

Had a freind in my twenties. He was into handloading and guns. Got me a little interested. At that time I bought a big box of gun periodicals for cheap at a gun show. That box spent my money fast as I could make it for a few years.
