Received 2000 9mm and 1000 .40 bullets yesterday. They all fit in a flat rate box. Felt really bad for my small, female letter carrier. Didn't even think about it when ordering.

As soon as I turned 21 I picked up a 2 tone USP in 9 mm. Still one of my favorite pistols. Not sure if I like it because I shoot it so well or that it was the first of a lifetime of collecting?

My wife wanted to help so she joined the NRA for three years. I also threw some cash at the PVF. Also set up a shooting date with new shooters I met at dinner last night. Waiting for it to warm up.

I believe I have one in .458 WM packed away. Hurts. Just moved and have not unpacked those rifles. I know it's a M77 and I remember a short barrel. Don't know if I'll ever take that one out again. Kind of a novelty cartridge for me.

Picked up a Ruger LCR .357 with Crimson Trace. Mainly CC with .38+p because those .357 hurt!

I want new shooters to fire my guns. I spent a few hours cleaning last week just so my new shooter friend can try out a wide variety. From .22 to .458 Win Mag. I know that I should of made him help but I never make anyone help the first time. I like to get them hooked on the sport first.

No pick right now but always Glock 22 leaning on the tower two feet from right hand.

It really depends on if you want to be a collector or shooter. I'm somewhere in the middle and do plan on reloading soon.

Don't forget that the door comes off most. Makes it a little more manageable.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll give it a shot this weekend.

I was wondering if I could shoot it out first. I would use lightly loaded lead rounds first. I didn't really know if there would be pressure issues. Any thoughts? It is in .45-70 if anyone cares.

Sorry, Only inside, like it was used with corrosive ammo and never cleaned.

Hi, I inherited a Ruger No1 and the barrel is rusty. What is the best way to clean this? It is a very nice rifle otherwise. I tried to take pics but they didn't show enough to bother posting. I don't want to use anything too abrasive and cause further damage. thanks.

+1 Bigdaddyb. I feel the same way.

I always look at them as an investnent. I tell the wife that they are a very liquid investment.
