Inherited
-
It's really strange that no matter how many times you leave (by choice or vote) and come back, you never really learn anything from the exercise. It may be (as you once stated) your difficulties with the English language, but I get the distinct impression that it is just you.

Liberals, avert your eyes - I'm gonna be talking about guns. My dad recently passed away, and I inherited his 1957 Winchester Model 94. It was purchased new in 1958 for the frightening sum of $79.95 along with two boxes of ammo (which he still had). This gun has never had a round chambered, and as you might guess, is in "like new" condition. Along with the rifle, I got the original store receipt (from Sears), as well as some correspondence when a list of service parts was requested, along with the returned exploded drawing of the rifle, and the service parts list (and cost). The exploded view and parts list are printed on glossy paper stock and is dated, July 1 1956. I want to go out and shoot the rifle, but it's essentially a 60-year-old virgin, and doing so would immediately degrade the exceptional value of the gun. However, just in case I succumb to the urge, I ordered a Williams peep sight. It bolts to the gun through existing holes in the receiver, so at least I won't be drilling into anything to mount it.

You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013Awesome weapon, definitely a keep sake. I saw on another site it was chambered 30-30...

That's just wrong on so many levels. And besides, the Garand is not "automatic", it's "semi-automatic", requiring one pull of the trigger for every round fired. It was fed by a top-loaded five-round clip (not a magazine) that was ejected with an audible "ding" sound when empty. It was chambered in 30-06, and accurate out to about 500 yards.

Yeah. That's why people (okay, I meant to say liberal commie bastards, but I was trying to be sensitive) saying an AR-15 is so "dangerous" because it's an "automatic". Same deal, one trigger pull, one shot.

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!I stocked up before everyone went crazy and started hoarding ammo. I got most of mine 100-200 rounds at a time at walmart.

Don't think us non gun people cannot appreciate a fine piece of engineering that has been preserved so well. Do use it if the value to you is higher than the monetary value is not important. Personally I'd preserve it but then I'm not interested in firing weapons. I hope your dad left on good terms...
