    Do you still have your first gun?

    Yes, that is, the first one I bought. My dad, nor any other relative did not give me a real gun of any kind. In fact my dad and uncles never let me shoot their guns. The first gun I shot, an M-1 Garand was in the Army. I bought my first gun after seeing a Sears ad in the paper for a .22...

    Age of Revolver Fanatics?

    74 and no revolvers. But I did shoot my dad's 38 once. And I rented a 38 revolver at the range once, because it had a laser sight on it and I wanted to try out the laser. But recently I have been seriously thinking about a revolver for my wife.

    Silicone cloth longevity?

    Yeah, but its not a question of cost. I have at least three others in my cleaning kits. It is simply a question of how long they last. I suspect, but don't know for sure, that the silicone itself does not deteriorate, as it says on the package the cloth can even be washed!

    Silicone cloth longevity?

    I have a silicone cloth I bought in 1990 and has been used off and on since then. It seems to still be OK. What say you?

    Rock salt shotshells

    If I remember correctly, back in the 1960s during so many riots, rock salt in shot shells was evaluated as a non-lethal means of crowd and riot control. As far as I know it was never actually used for that purpose.

    Painting front sight post

    I used white enamel from a rattle can on the front sights of a 9mm semi-auto many years ago (at least 20) and it is still there. Just spray a small puddle on a piece of cardboard and use a very small brush to put it on.

    Anyone with experience recessing a safe?

    I have no experience recessing a safe, but that "dead space" may be a return air duct for your furnace/air conditioner. If it is, blocking it with a safe could cause serious heating/cooling problems. For the size safe you are considering it would be necessary to remove some wall studs and...

    Worst Revolver You Ever Bought ?

    A no-name .22 magnum bought from a pawn shop. Never fired it. Turns out it had a metal defect in the top strap, so I was afraid to fire it. Anxiously awaiting for a "buy back". It makes a good paper weight though.

    How old is your scope?

    My only scope is on a tube fed .22 LR I bought from Sears as a package in 1968, on sale for $99.00. Both rifle and scope work really well. No plans to change either one.

    NRA Sweepstakes--anyone ever win?

    No, I don't bother to waste my time, but I would like to see a list of winners to add some creditability to the schemes.

    Gun gets HOT at the range

    I don't know what the grip is called, but that grip is what my wife was taught when she took her CCW class at our local police department. The reason given was speed and accuracy when reloading versus holding the revolver in your right hand (which seems more natural) and loading with your less...

    Small gunsmithing triumphs for the mechanically challenged

    For me just disassembly and reassembly is the limit of my expertise. So far I have been able to find all the springs that went flying, found all the small parts and ended up with no parts left over...and it works!!:)

    Handtrucks to the range?

    Mine is all hand, shoulder and backpack carried, but I am thinking of something with wheels, that folds, like a luggage carrier. Any other ideas?

    I was shot while working on an AR!

    And don't forget the top button of your shirt as PPE. A hot casing going down inside your shirt isn't fun either.
