    feeling nostalgic

    You just did, but otherwise I have no idea what the heck you are talking about.

    feeling nostalgic

    Nor crap-stained glasses. I lived the past, and it was great at the time, great in retrospect. YMMV

    feeling nostalgic

    I'm talking about far more than just how easy it might be to legally carry a handgun in public.

    feeling nostalgic

    Many of us here are of an age where we were lucky enough to have been born and lived our lives in the greatest country that has ever been, in the greatest period of time in that country’s history, and at the pinnacle of western civilization. The gun-related freedoms that we have enjoyed are...

    Two of S&W best ever

    The Goldilocks .357. :) 👍

    Two of S&W best ever

    Agree! I love the L Frame Smith & Wesson guns, and I'm partial to the no-dash or low-dash vintages. 👍

    Follow-up on this. There's probably no useful information here for anyone else, but it's an account of what happened with the M-Pro 7 and Mobil 1 mixture. The approximately 70/30 mix of Mobil 1 and M-Pro 7 (that's my estimate of the mix ratio that started out as 50/50, but I've since added...

    Beginnings with 22 LR

    That’s my experience, too. The first thing that happens that causes a NEED for cleaning a 22LR is the buildup of a carbon ring at the end of the chamber that will deteriorate accuracy. Some guns probably aren’t accurate enough to even notice when this happens, but I’m not interested in owning...

    Biden closes ‘gun show loophole’

    Is there anyone here who doesn’t realize that the people in power couldn’t care less about reducing “gun violence,” and know that this won’t change anything in the precincts where scum are murdering people? This type of thing is to serve as a distraction for everyone who watches the “gun...

    Gunbroker with A+ and only 1 sale

    I think the risk of "selling a very nice firearm for one cent," or for any insanely low price, is essentially zero unless the seller does a terrible job posting the ad. Can you find any examples on GB where a gun has brought a small fraction of what it should have? Even half? I haven't been...

    Something about nice wood and blued steel.

    ^^^ I like. I'm also a fan of wood and blued steel shotguns. And shorter barrels. 1954 Auto-5 1952 Model 37 1966 Model 37 (with earlier model stock and forearm) 1950 Model 37 (wood has since been refinished and barrel shortened to the same length as the Auto-5)

    Vintage Handgun Values - up or down?

    There are a few guns that I've watched regularly enough over the past 10 years or so to have a very good feel for what they'll bring (and I've bought several examples). I would agree that what you've see with the Model 625 applies to most of the ones I watch -- they were definitely bringing a...

    Just read about this Ammo search engine

    It's wisdom, not ignorance. A huge chunk of everything returned in an internet search is a result of paid sales and marketing, PR, or agenda-driving at this point. People who don't recognize this are suckers, not ignoramuses. As opposed to the old slogan from the earlier days of the internet...

    Cougar kills young man in California

    How does that refute what I said? All that says to me is that people from Cali and New York are part of the mob moving to Florida. I said that they're not bringing their bad voting habits here in any overwhelming numbers. Over the past three years or so I've met probably 30 or more newcomers...

    Cougar kills young man in California

    It seems to depend a lot upon where they are moving to, but it hasn't been a problem in FL for the past 4 years or so. DeSantis and the FL Legislature are so hated by the types who have repeatedly voted to destroy many a other states that those types are in the minority of people who move here...

    Show Me Your Lube Shelf

    Yes, if anything close to what happened in my MPro7/Mobil1 bottle were to happen in an engine crankcase, it'd be terrible for the engine. Viscosity-wise, I'd say the resulting viscosity is close to refrigerated honey.

    Show Me Your Lube Shelf

    One thing I discovered by accident is that MPro7 and Mobil1 mixed approximately 50/50 makes, initially, a very thick oil. This thick oil (which I liked pretty well as a gun oil) has gradually continued to thicken to the point that it has turned to grease in the bottle in about four years...

    Cougar kills young man in California

    And a lot of it blowing past Texas all the way to Florida. Generally the ones who appreciate the good things that have been happening in Florida over the past 6 years or so. People are recognizing good governance and flocking to it from the places where they've been shown how quickly things...
