You know what? As long as the insides and bore are good, I like crusty old guns. There's a story there and I'm not afraid to bang them up in a holster or glovebox.
I don't like the thought of paying collectible safe queen prices for them, or the people that want to fleece someone that might be...
My first Kore belt. Opted for the 'armortek' leather-like and a buckle that looks like an old-style one to keep it all-purpose.
Got a LAG tactical holster for my CZ P10C a little while back, an OWB/IWB combo depending which clips you install. Very good holster, reasonably priced. Should get one...
I will own, but not carry, a gun that has a manual safety as its only external safety. If it has one at all, it has to remain firmly off.
It would have to be a heck of a gun for me to accept one with a flag or anything patriotic marked on it, and then I'd opt for a model without if possible...
Yeah, depends on your purpose. Unless you're doing unusual operator stuff or competing with it, which might include unusual stuff, by far the most common method is to co-witness them. And then you don't have to get used to different sight pictures or holding the rifle different.
My red dot and...
Right design at the right time. If it had come out twenty years before, no one would have accepted it, and it would have missed its market twenty years later.
Credit for good engineering and business aptitude. He had an eye for design, just not ergonomics or aesthetics.
And I never thought I'd...
Maybe colors, but not realistic patterns. Generalized, abstract camo.
I've only painted my ARs, and that's mostly just so they're different to prevent me from mismatching the guns and mags.
Some guns feel like they have 'soul', which is different from a soul.
IMO, it comes down to handling. Whether mandate by design or manufacture, inherent in material, performed labor, or use.
A custom bolt rifle, in a hand-checkered, hand-rubbed stock, with carefully lapped-by-hand parts...
To my dad.
It was already his but spent years in a Florida storage unit without air conditioning and he was minutes away from throwing it into multiple dumpsters when he moved into his new place.
So the gift was the refinishing.
Doesn't much look like rust. A machining chemical, dried coolant or layout dye.
Water or windex would remove coolant, acetone will take layout dye right off.
Or an artifact of heat treating, but I'm not sure how much of that is done to stainless.
My father gave me my Ruger 22/45 Mk3.
It's not beautiful or artistic. It's a very basic, no-nonsense, solid gun that does exactly what it was designed to do more reliably and better than most other guns up to, and possibly including, twice the price.
It's exactly what dad stands for, shops for...
My Mosin Nagant M44 is a favorite of mine.
The only gun my dad formed a particular attachment to, which he hunted with alongside his father and for many years in my childhood was the only reason we had meat, is a Stevens side-by-side 16-gauge that my grandpa was too young to buy new.
Haven't tried Flitz on anything yet. Wouldn't be my first thought for blued guns--if it will make a rough feed ramp shiny, that means it's abrasive.
I am a huge fan of Renaissance Wax. Everything I have gets that if I don't know when I'll be shooting it next. Have a custom knife and several guns...
Not me, but my grandfather. Conveyed and witnessed by my dad, confirmed by grandpa. Grandpa never took credit for stories he could get out of, neither are tellers of tales, and it's the only in my life I've ever seen dad laughing and clapping him on the shoulder, so I'm inclined to accept it...
Once you find reliability and descent accuracy, personal fit is all the rest.
For quite a while, for me, that was a Ruger SR9c. Still an excellent choice, but I believe they discontinued them. Not that they're likely to need much you can't find.
But with that in mind, and some extra money, and...
Hard to find a better AK.
I'm a fan of the traditional round, but if you like .308 and don't mind a rough time finding more magazines, nab it if you like the price.
If you want the AK profile at the front, you'll either need some real work done to get the front retainer on or do some searching...
