RIG gun grease works very nicely in preventing rust. Andy

Anyone who has lived with me has been taught the difference between a real gun and a toy. They have also been taught how to safely handle most of the common types of firearms out there ( between myself and friends we have most bases covered.) Its was for others to who my comment "Its when a toy...

Nope...a stick is a stick even when pretending to be a sword. It's when the real looking toy gun gets mixed up with a real gun because they look and operate the same that bothers me. It's when I try to teach a kid about a gun , and he says " I already know 'cause I have a airsoft one"... It's...

Assuming smaller guns are toys or a smaller toy gun is real is never a good idea, I never said that. The toy Thompson in the picture is smaller than the real gun, it is a aid in telling what is real and what is not. One reason people may be paranoid is that it is difficult to tell the...

The scale of that toy Thompson sub-machinegun is wrong, you can tell its a toy. Many of todays toy and airsoft guns are the same size as the real gun they copy. I had a toy Single Action Army , like you describe growing up and if I remember right it too was smaller than the real thing. Visually...

My comments from my earlier post about teaching bad and dangerous habits stem from the fact that , unlike the toy guns from my youth, todays toy guns and airsoft guns often look and operate like a real gun. Which can lead to a lack of respect for a real gun. Combine this with airsoft and...

longest range shot I ever made with a M16A2 in the Army was 800 yards. This was on a M60 machinegun range, in peacetime , under no stress , but only to win the bet. In combat my hits were at much closer ranges. Andy

Not a fan of toy guns or airsoft guns , I think they teach and / or re-enforce bad and dangerous habits. From your picture, I couldn't really tell which was which. Andy

Thank you for your support. Andy

Thanks Uncle Nubbs... Andy

Military rifles are a great way to show gun ownership in a positive light and a chance to have a little history in your hands. People always seem interested in "those army rifles". Also its nice to meet up with someone who used the type of rifle I'm shooting during their time of service. I...

The weather is getting nicer and we are getting to what I call "Shooting Season". Around where I live the nice weather brings out shooters to the local gravel pits and other public lands. This post is just a reminder to please pick up after yourself. We as shooters need to be better than the...

I am a big fan of Finn Aagaard, Ross Seyfried and John Barsness. Might go to the "Hot" place for saying so, but I never really cared for the writings of Cooper or Keith... Andy

This is a tough one ... My .54 Hawken is at the head of the list , just ' cause she shoots so well and is very pretty. I also love to shoot my 1883 dated Springfield "Trapdoor" rifle. Its a fun historic way to "bust" a rock, clay bird or just about anything else ... LOL Dad's Series 70 1911...

I also prefer iron sights. My CZ 557 came with some outstanding factory sights. Most of my shooting is 150 yards or under so I do not feel the need for a scope on my big game rifles. My Remington 511 has a Leupold 4x on it, for now. It might be replaced by a New England peep soon. I like how a...

Maybe an old Sharps, Ballard, Winchester etc ... single shot rifle cartridge case? Just guessing here, but those and a few other companies made single shot rifles in the .38- .44 caliber range as well as the more well known "Buffalo rifles". Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Andy

Not much to add, other than which do you prefer? What feels better to you when you handle it? The only repeating shotgun I have is a 1960 870 .20 gauge so I would go with a older 870 if I bought a home defense shotgun. I like how the 870's feel and I know where all the controls are. Would also...

Another vote for the Colt Walker or Dragoon series. There is just something about a 4 1/2 - 4 pound .45 caliber revolver. ( I know there are listed as .44, but My Colt 1st model Dragoon shoots best with a .454 round ball , as does my friends Uberti Walker...) Andy

The AR series of rifles are fine, but just not for me. I carried a M-16A2 in the Army at times, and while I am very proud of my service ,the rifle itself has some bad memories for me. For all of you who have one enjoy it , they are a great rifle "off the shelf" or with whatever you care to add...

I like my signature, because I am proud of my service. As for listing guns, not for me on a signature, but I would be more than happy to post a comment or picture about a gun I own, if it adds to the discussion. Andy
