Inherited
-
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, 2013Sounds cool - how about some pics? :-)

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.

Ah, so that's the difference. I've always wondered about this but never asked nor googled :-)

He doesn't order, he "suggests" -- and people can be remarkably obliging.

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.

Unfortunately we can't post pics here, no matter how high our rep points might be. :/

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...

Now, I'm not too familiar with the AR-15, but with the old Nato 762 SLR, I could fix that with 5 seconds and a matchstick.* I wouldn't be surprised if the AR was not much different. * It took a little longer, and more than a matchstick, to get the damn thing to stop firing when you took your finger off the trigger.

I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!Hey, man - don't be so negative. The Trump may get elected, and then you'll get 200 rounds free every week, AND time off work to practice. Worked for the English, when we kicked some French butt at Crecy and Agincourt - mandatory longbow training every Sunday, subsidized by the squire. Actually, I sometimes wonder if that English law had some input to the Second Amendment - it was damned effective.

Then maybe more a soapbox issue? [Edit] It is truly remarkable how here are members favors by their Points or than Duration of membership! [/Edit]
You are completely right. If a new person would have posted this same message many would have suggested it go to the soapbox. High rep members are definitely favored, or perhaps just trusted more.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

As it should be. In fact, I was thinking CP should erect a virtual sacrificial alter to the high rep users, and every Friday, we select a low-rep user to eviscerate in full view of the masses, simply to ensure they know not to f*ck with us.

I am equally deadly with a bow and slingshot (and I do pretty well at casting stones, too). I mention this just in case any of the liberal serfs here dare suggest we go back to medieval weapons.
